Hypothyroidism and how you can improve your health !

The Thyroid gland secretes hormones that control metabolic activity in EVERY cell of the body . Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid fails in producing enough hormones. 
You may feel tired, weak, may have gained weight and your joints and muscles may ache. 

One of the main causes are stress and the balance of stress hormone in the body.

How can you help yourself heal?
Eat more iodine rich foods like kelp, nori which are sea vegetables. 

Avoid vegetables that suppress the thyroid like kale, broccoli, cabbage, soy and brussels sprouts.
