Thyroid:
It is a gland which produces thyroid hormone
which influences almost all of the metabolic processes in out body. There are
two type of thyroid problems.

in which too much thyroid hormone releases
Hypothyroidism : A
situation in which too less thyroid hormone releases
A person affected by
Thyroid should not do the following things:
1. Not managing stress : Excessive stress may
exacerbate an underlying thyroid condition. When in stress body releases
hormone cortisol. Excess cortisol can interfere with thyroid hormone
production.
2. Smoking Regularly: Smoking is associated with a increased risk at
developing clinically over thyroid disease. Cumulative cigarette consumption is
a risk factor in autoimmune thyroid disease.
3. Ignoring medicines and Regular Check-ups: Take prescribed medications
without fail to get thyroid hormone levels back to normal.
4. Taking your Thyroxine Tablet with your morning coffee: Best option is to
simply take it with a glass of water.
5. Eating Large Amounts of Raw Cruciferous Vegetables: The items which
falls under this category includes cabbage, cauliflower,brocolli,spinach,sweet
potatoes. They contain compounds called glucosinolaes that can interfrere with
tyroid hormone synthesis.
6. Eating soy products: Soy contains phytoestrogens and goitrogenic
compounds that affect thyroid function and interfere with the body’s absorption
of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland.
