Post Zinc defiency in all of us

hi all, ok i want you all to do something........
I have been reading on the internet recently when i found that zinc and vitamin A is found as vital nutrients in our diet, and that they are linked to Proteins (it ultilizes the formation of Protein)
So after a little research i found a simple way to see if you are lacking in zinc or Vitamin A.
Look at your nails, are they smooth, shiny and have a pinkish glow? Do they have any abrasion or white spots on them?????

I have probably one little spot of white on each of my nails telling me i am lacking in zinc and vitamin A. because these are linked with Proteins, and that 60% of it is found in muscle tissue, i was wondering if this could prevent you in gaining muscle?? So i have looked in various books etc and the fact is that almost all of the population is lacking in it. Now maybe it isnt a major factor in gaining weight but doesnt every little thing help????
Zinc and vitamin A is found in fruit,

Meats like
Round steak
Lamb chops
Pork loin
Liver
Poultry
Legumes
Nuts
Seeds
Seafood
Bran
Whole-wheat flour
Eggs
Whole grains
Pumpkin seeds
Brewers' yeast
Wheat germ
Non-fat dry milk
Ground mustard
Animal sources have more readily available zinc

Now most of you probably dont lack in zinc or vit A because most of these are high in Protein anyway, just thought it's interesting to read and thought it might help. Please give me feedback about your nails cas im interested to see if you lack in zinc and vitamin A
