Iodine and thyroid
Friday, July 10th, 2009Iodine does not directly provoke weight loss but when it affects the thyroid gland, the loss of weight is induced. At the same time an underactive thyroid can cause a sluggish metabolism. So to have a healthy metabolism, one must have a good dose of iodine to keep the thyroid healthy and in turn maintain a healthy metabolism. An underactive thyroid requires a planned and high intake of iodine which can be done under the guidance of your doctor and with proper medication. An iodine rich diet is a sure way to loose weight if you are facing problems with the thyroid because of which you are over weight.
