How Does Iodine Effect Thyroid Functions?
The thyroid gland controls the metabolism and iodine is required for thyroid function. Lack of iodine in the daily diet leads to disrupted thyroid function and consequently disrupts other body functions such as fat utilization. Complications of iodine deficiency may be goiter, obesity, lack of mental energy, lack of pep, skin wrinkling, infections, nervous disturbances.
Adequate Iodine in the thyroid ensures the following:
- Efficient mental development for the fetus. The development of reproductive organs at the age of adolescence.
- Keeps skin and hair in a healthy condition
- Necessary for the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates
- Restores iodine lost after eating excessive amounts of vegetables of the genus Brassica (brussel sprouts, turnips, cabbage, etc.
- Iodine is an integral part of thyroxine, a principal hormone produced by the thyroid gland
What Is Low Thyroid?
Firstly, in a hypothyroid state the body's metabolic rate is decreased. This is why most people with low thyroid experience weight gain. Secondly, lower levels of thyroid hormones can affect the production of neurotransmitters and how well they are used in the brain and other parts of the body - this can lead to common low thyroid symptoms like depression, anxiety, poor memory, and insomnia. In this respect, it can also affect digestion because enzymes, just like neurotransmitters, do not function as they should when the body temperature is lowered - this can result in poor digestion of food, which can be manifested as gas, upset stomach, heartburn or constipation.
The hormone insulin (responsible for regulating the level of sugar in the blood) is equally affected lower temperatures in the body and explains why many with low thyroid often experience fluctuations in blood sugar like yo-yoing effect of hypoglycemia. Some of these may need to be treated along with the low thyroid.
Nutritional support for an under active thyroid gland can include among many other supplements, thyroid glandular extract. Thyroid glandular boosts the activity of your own thyroid gland, optimizing its production T3 and T4. Ensuring that your are getting enough of important nutrients like iodine and tyrosine is crucial for natural thyroid support.
