Grace has been getting me green tea two cases at a time for a couple of years now, so it's a wonder that I've not gotten green tea poisoning!
Zinc I dunno. I've no idea where to get it, or how to eat it. Maybe go around licking galvanized buckets, because the galvanization is just a layer of zinc.
I take about 1000mg/ 1 gram of vitamin C per day as well. It can't hurt, as you just piss out the excess that the body doesn't use. I started out taking 2000 mg a day until I got to saturation, and the 1000 mg per day is maintenance.
Grace, on the other hand, has been taking prescription vitamin D for a couple of months now, and that may be part of what assisted her in not showing any symptoms.
The article also mentioned "time restricted eating", which I have done forever, since I got to be an adult and lost my teenager "eat everything in sight" metabolism. I eat once a day, whether I need it or not, and never more than twice a day within about a 6 hour window.
ETA: the "vitamin K" mentioned in the article is by prescription only in the US. However, you can get the exact same thing at health food stores like GNC by asking for "phytonadione". The exact same thing - but no prescription necessary going that route. Phytonadione IS vitamin K, just by another, and apparently unregulated, name. It's a vital ingredient in blood clotting, and is given to infants during their first 8 days of life before they are able to create their own blood clotting factors. I had to research it many years ago to treat a dumbass that tried to kill herself by eating rat poison containing warfarin, who refused to go to the doctor as that would have thwarted her plans, and could therefore not get a prescription for vitamin K. I made her take high doses of phytonadione for 30 days to counteract the blood thinning from the warfarin so that her dumb ass didn't bleed to death internally.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
