Dosage: 15 mg is the daily recommended dose. Supplying 50 grams is the standard, but you will find that the best zinc supplement, ZMA, contains only 30 mg of very absorbable Zinc. Try to take in as much zinc as you do iron every day, but avoid taking them together because they will compete for absorption. Same for copper and calcium.
The first local feature is the urban climate in the Chicago metropolitan area. Buildings, parking lots, roads, and industrial activities make the urban climate noticeably different than that of surrounding rural areas. For example, Chicago tends to be warmer by 2Â°F, on average, especially at night.
Chicago is known as the Windy City. The name comes from its windy politicians, but it could just as easily apply to the winds that howl in off Lake Michigan. They are a welcome relief during hot summers and a brutal reality during frigid winters. In the spring, temperatures begin to moderate and the city comes alive again. But always carry a jacket and umbrella. As the saying goes: If you don't like the weather in Chicago, wait 10 minutes and it will change. You might consider waterproof boots as well if you're coming early in the season. April snow showers are possible and the winter snowmelt can result in deep puddles at city street corners.
