Will congenital zinc deficiency be inherited?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could congenital zinc deficiency be hereditary?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is not a problem. You can eat foods rich in zinc, such as fish, lean meat, animal liver and kidneys, eggs, dairy products, and aquatic shellfish like oysters, scallops, and abalone. Also, include hard-shelled foods like chestnuts, walnuts, and peanuts. Traditional Chinese medicine can also be effective for zinc supplementation. For example, He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) has a high zinc content.
Hello, you can eat it, but be careful not to get fish bones stuck. Also, don’t eat too much the first time to see if it causes diarrhea, as eel is high in oil and protein. If there are no issues, you can gradually increase the amount later.
