The #1 enemy of your thyroid: stop eating this food immediately!
The thyroid gland plays a big role in your body’s overall health. It makes hormones that control how your body uses energy, affecting almost every organ. As your thyroid isn’t working right, it can cause a lot of problems, from feeling tired all the time to issues with your digestion. What you eat can really impact how well your thyroid works.
Understanding Your Thyroid
Your thyroid gland is located at the front of your neck, kind of wrapped around your windpipe. It makes two main hormones, T3 and T4, which are made with iodine. These hormones are like the master switches for your body’s metabolism. They affect your breathing, heart rate, brain function, how you move, your sleep, and even how your digestive system works. They also influence other glands in your body.
When you don’t have enough of these hormones, your metabolism can slow down a lot, sometimes by as much as 40%. This can make you feel sluggish and gain weight. On the flip side, if you have too much, your metabolism can speed up, even by 60-100%, which can cause other issues. One common problem is hypothyroidism, often caused by something called Hashimoto’s syndrome.
