How to maintain thyroid health: advice without medication

The thyroid gland is one of the key organs responsible for metabolism, energy, skin condition, mood and even fertility. But its stable work depends on a number of factors - and most of them are directly related to nutrition, day and sleep quality.

Thyroid hormones are created from L-Tyrosine amino acid-a building material that the body receives from protein food. Accordingly, protein deficiency in the diet or poor digestion immediately affects the thyroid gland. Experts advise regular use of low -fat meat, fish, cheese, eggs, seafood - these products provide the body with all the necessary hormone synthesis.

Organic iodine is a critical trace element without which the thyroid gland will simply not work. Sea cabbage, fish, seafood, as well as sea salt are the main sources of iodine in nutrition. But iodine is only one of the players. The normal function of the gland also requires: iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins B12, D, A and folic acid. These substances are found in fresh vegetables, berries, greens, meat, eggs and oily fish.

The thyroid gland is extremely sensitive to the regime. She "loves" when a person falls asleep and wakes up at the same time, it is advisable to lie down at midnight. Chronic lack of sleep, frequent night changes or irregular schedules adversely affect the hormonal background.

Regular nutrition is another foundation. Skiping meals, rigid diets or prolonged fasting can disrupt thyroid. Three main meals a day balanced for proteins, fats and carbohydrates are the best prevention of failures in its work.

Finally - about walks. Under the influence of sunlight, the body synthesizes vitamin D, and it is one of the main "bricks" required by the thyroid gland for coordinated work. So at least 20-30 minutes in the sun is not a whim, but an important need.
