Ways to Control Thyroid

 The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located on the front of your neck, on the lower side. When there is an imbalance in the thyroid hormones, it doesn’t function as it is supposed to, which leads to various problems, such as changes in your weight, high cholesterol, etc. There are two types of thyroid issues, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism.

• Vitamin A

The best way to control your thyroid is to incorporate Vitamin A in your daily life routine. All you need to do is to consume food products that are high in Vitamin A. The most common Vitamin A rich foods are; yellow and green veggies, carrots, eggs, apricots, spinach, carrots, etc.

• Butter is better

Your endocrine system will really appreciate your intake of butter. Even if you cut down other dairy products, stick to butter. However, it is always better to check with your physician before starting something new.

• Eat mindfully

Your thyroid is located in your throat area and it serves as a connection between your mind and your body. So, what happens when you eat fast is that the food reaches the stomach quickly before your body and mind can react to it. This way, you end up eating too much which is definitely not a healthy habit.

So, when you practice mindfulness, you will not only eat the food slowly, chewing methodically, but also feel each texture of what you are eating and experience the joy of eating. This will help your thyroid record the food intake and process it accordingly.

• Mobile phones

We are all addicted to our phones these days. However, your mobile phone is a radiation machine and when you hold it to your ears, it affects your thyroid as well. Therefore, use earphones and keep your phone away from yourself when you sleep.

• Yoga

There are several yoga asanas that help stimulate and support your endocrine system. Also, physical activity boosts the supply of oxygen in your body which will help your thyroid tremendously. Another advantage of doing yoga is that you can practice it easily at home or basically anywhere. You don’t need expensive machines or a gym membership for yoga.

• Avoid smoking

Thiocyanate and nicotine in cigarettes can increase excretion of iodine, which affects the performance of your thyroid. So, quit smoking!
