How to do trace element test for adults

Nowadays, many people are busy with work, so they always ignore their physical health. There are some essential trace elements in our body, and many people are deficient in these trace elements. We should check the trace elements in our body regularly. The following is a detailed introduction to the trace element examination for adults. I hope you will read it.

Trace element tests usually include calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, copper, lead, etc. Among them, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and copper are essential trace elements for the human body, while lead is a harmful element. Generally, trace element deficiency is more common in children, because for healthy adults, a balanced diet can mostly provide certain trace elements to meet daily needs.

Zinc: Foods rich in zinc include seafood, such as oysters, scallops, and scallops; nuts also contain high levels of zinc, such as walnuts, almonds, and sesame seeds. Zinc gluconate oral solution is commonly used to supplement zinc.

Copper: Animal viscera contain a high amount of copper, and foods cooked with copper-containing utensils also contain a high amount of copper. Iron: Iron-rich meats include beef and pork liver; soy products also contain a high amount of iron and are easily absorbed, such as soy milk and tofu; egg yolks contain a high amount of iron, but the absorption rate is slightly lower. Oranges, grapes, kiwis, etc. are rich in vitamin C, which promotes iron absorption.

Calcium: Milk, soy products, and nuts are rich in calcium. Cod liver oil promotes calcium absorption and utilization. More sun exposure can also promote calcium absorption. Lead: Car exhaust, pencils, inferior toy furniture paint and wall paint, second-hand smoke, batteries, preserved eggs, printer ink, etc. contain high levels of lead. Try to reduce contact as much as possible. Fruits rich in vitamin C such as kiwis, oranges, and grapes are good for lead excretion; supplementing calcium and zinc is also good for lead excretion.

Life care: If you are taking certain medicines that may cause a certain trace element deficiency, you can consult your doctor whether you need to take trace element supplements at the same time. Usually, paying attention to balanced diet nutrition can effectively avoid trace element deficiency.

The above introduces the trace element examination method for adults. We can see the specific situation of various trace elements contained in our body, which is helpful for us to find out which trace elements we lack as early as possible. I hope it can help everyone in life. I wish you all a happy life!
