“…For example, Zinc intervenes in numerous very important functions such as the growth, construction, and recovery of muscle tissue [16]. Several studies revealed that both male and female athletes suffer from "sports anemia," which can impair physical performance and is linked to a zinc deficit [17] with meat being the best food source.…”

Physical activity (PA) and sport play an essential role in promoting body development and maintaining optimal health status both in the short and long term. Despite the benefits, a long-lasting heavy training can promote several detrimental physiological changes, including transitory immune system malfunction, increased inflammation, and oxidative stress, which manifest as exercise-induced muscle damages (EIMDs). Meat and derived products represent a very good source of bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Bioactive molecules represent dietary compounds that can interact with one or more components of live tissue, resulting in a wide range of possible health consequences such as immune-modulating, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, and antioxidative activities. The health benefits of meat have been well established and have been extensively reviewed elsewhere, although a growing number of studies found a significant positive effect of meat molecules on exercise performance and recovery of muscle function. Based on the limited research, meat could be an effective post-exercise food that results in favorable muscle protein synthesis and metabolic performance.

Vitamins, minerals, and nutritional supplements constitute materials which have been confused in the minds of consumers. They are promoted and sold by health care providers, including pharmacists, as well as by a wide variety of retail merchants. The relative safety and effectiveness of these substances in treatment of deficiency states has been extended to the notion that since the small recommended daily allowance ensures health or at least a non-deficient state, larger amounts will provide wellness or at least improve health. The proper use of diet, including vitamin and mineral supplements, has been supplanted by a form of unrestricted and unprofessional pharmacy practice. In large amounts, vitamins and minerals can have pharmacological effects including drug interaction and toxicity. The 1994 Dietary Supplements Health & Education Act has opened up the legal use by the general public of some pharmaceutically active ingredients unless they are demonstrated to be dangerous.
