Thyroid problems

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland located just under the Adam's apple in the throat. It secretes a hormone into the bloodstream called thyroxine, which controls the body's metabolism, the rate at which the body burns calories for energy. It also controls the body's utilization of fat.

Too little thyroxine can cause excessive fat to accumulate which can lead to weight gain. It can also result in a low level of energy, low blood pressure, and a lowered basal body temperature, making one feel colder than usual, especially in the hands and feet. Such a condition is called underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism. Underactive thyroid is also a major cause of a common painful musculoskeletal condition known as fibromyalgia.

To perform its function properly, the thyroid needs sufficient quantities of trace minerals like zinc, copper, selenium, iron, and particularly iodine: as well as adequate amounts of vitamins such as A, C, E and the B vitamins. If the thyroid does not get the nutrition it needs, an underactive thyroid can be the result. The habit of eating nutrient-poor fast and processed foods is the ultimate cause for some individuals. Many children have poor eating habits which will lead to problems with the thyroid gland later in life. Dieting and regular use of caffeine can contribute to thyroid problems.

To prevent future problems, eat a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and lean protein, exercise regularly and take Renew+ mineral supplements.
