Did you know that protein-rich turkey — both roasted and deli-style — is chock full of zinc? The zinc found in turkey, when taken with other antioxidants, can reduce your risk of getting age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by about 25 percent! And it also might play a role in protecting the remaining vision of people diagnosed with AMD. While it's harmful to eat too much zinc, the RDA for men is 11mg and for women, 8mg, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Three ounces of turkey (6-9 slices or a serving the size of a deck of cards) provides about 3mg of zinc. So go ahead, eat it in a sandwich, salad, or as a main meal — you can’t go wrong.

When elevated for long periods of time, cortisol can lead to undesirable chronic diseases and symptoms like high blood pressure, weight gain, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, IBS, sleep issues, and it even increases your risk for heart attacks and strokes.
