It is estimation that over 12 percent of world populations are experiencing thyroid at certain point in their lives.
From last four decades thyroid cancer has been doubled by crossing the state of ‘epidemic” which is an incidence. Thyroid cancer rates have been increased steadily about 6% every year for more than 20 years.
This is a troubling fact that the small thyroid gland in the neck is the major component for proper functioning of immune system. If it doesn’t function properly then the body leads to wide range of diseases.
Thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones, which regulates metabolic rate. These hormones are important in regulating body energy, body temperature, and body’s use of other hormones and vitamins.
Thyroid disorders can range from a small harmless goiter that leads to threatening cancer. The most common cause of thyroid goiter is iodine deficiency
Too much thyroid hormones result in a condition called Hyperthyroidism. Insufficient hormones lead to Hypothyroidism.
When thyroid fails to provide proper amount of hormones especially T3 and T4 it leads to problems like depression, fatigue, increased blood pressure and weight gain.
And excessive production of these hormones may lead to anxiety, weight loss and accelerated heart rate.
To prevent the over production of thyroid hormones the pituitary gland sense the blood required for the hormones and adjust the production accordingly.
Lifestyle and environmental factors contribute to a malfunctioning of thyroid, while some can be controllable and many of them are not.
You need to rest your thyroid and activate your metabolism then you will be able to lose weight and boost your energy with optimal health.
