If you are like most people with a low thyroid disorder you feel robbed of energy, you get easily stressed out, your hair is falling out by the handful and you have a constant brain fog.
And if that is not bad enough because your thyroid is working below par you are finding it next to impossible to lose weight. Even though you put so much effort into exercising and eating well. It is down right frustrating. The Natural Thyroid Diet. The 4-Week Plan To Living Well, Living Vibrantly is the ultimate guide to treating hypothyroidism naturally. It is for the newly diagnosed, or those who are frustrated that they are still struggling with low thyroid symptoms after many years.
The thyroid, one of the most important glands, influences many body functions, including maintaining energy levels, sleep and metabolism. To function properly, it needs the right nutrients, foremost among which is iodine, a basic building block of thyroid hormones.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, iodine deficiency is on the rise in the United States, and choosing foods wisely is crucial. Sea vegetables, such as kelp, wakame and nori, the seaweed used for making sushi, are good sources of iodine and many other key minerals that support thyroid health.
Zinc, iron and copper are essential to producing thyroid hormones, and antioxidants like vitamins A, C and E are necessary for neutralizing physical oxidative stress, a condition that often occurs along with poor thyroid function. Selenium, a trace mineral needed only in tiny amounts, is readily supplied in foods like Brazil nuts, peanuts, fish, eggs, parsley, oats and mushrooms, as well as the noted sea vegetables.
