💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I started getting frequent colds during stressful periods at work, and a nutritionist suggested adding zinc-rich foods to my diet. Pumpkin seeds became my go-to desk snack—they're easy, don't make a mess, and actually keep me full between meals. After three months of daily handfuls, I noticed I wasn't catching every bug that went around the office. Now I keep a jar on my desk and my immune system has never been stronger.
