Investing in Thyroid Health

Investing in Thyroid Health

To keep your thyroid healthy and avoid issues associated with its malfunction, its important to eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and unprocessed foods, especially those rich in antioxidants, plus exercise regularly. Stress relief and complementary health treatments also contribute to thyroid health.

To get the most out of your metabolism and keep your thyroid functioning properly and efficiently, take some specific steps. If you are not currently experiencing thyroid issues, keep your iodine consumption consistent by eating various dark green vegetables and seaweed. Kelp, Kale, broccoli and spinach are all naturally high in this mineral, which your body needs to create T3 and T4 hormones.

When using supplements, dont exceed more than mcg per day. If you are currently taking Synthroid or another medication for hypothyroidism, check with your doctor before using such products, as high iodine levels can adversely affect their uptake. Also look into minerals such as selenium, zinc, tyrosine, Vitamin B, Vitamin D and proboitics for hypothyroidism and thyroid health as well.
