Zinc, says the NHS, can help make new cells and enzymes, help the body process carbohydrate, and improves wound healing.

On zinc and hangovers, Claire said: “Zinc plays a pivotal role in ensuring our liver can metabolise alcohol effectively.

“Ensure you are consuming sources of zinc through foods such as, organic, and grass-fed meats and dairy products, wild fish, shellfish, nuts, seeds and free range and organic eggs.

“Also pre-soaking lentils and chickpeas overnight prior to cooking to increase their zinc absorption.”
