Thyroids are responsible for our hormone production. It’s a vital gland in our body that produces and regulates hormones responsible for our body’s growth and development as well as our metabolism and many other crucial body functions. Abnormal production of thyroid hormones can lead to a host of unwanted issues within the body, including but not limited to thyroid cancer.
Taking care of our thyroids is as simple as eating the right types of foods. A healthy diet with a balanced variety of both plant and animal proteins, vegetables, fruits, and water is a great start. Adding seaweed to your diet will give your thyroid the added boost it needs to be operating at top function. Seaweed contains iodine, which is an essential nutrient for proper thyroid function.
Both a superfood and delicious treat, seaweed promotes thyroid health, wards off cardiovascular diseases, and lowers blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels. While thyroid issues are more commonly found in women, we can all benefit from taking extra measures to assist our thyroids in proper hormone production. According to First for Women, “one sheet of nori seaweed (the most commonly used seaweed snacks) contains 25 percent of the RDI (recommended daily intake) for iodine, and one teaspoon of kelp contains as much as 59 times the RDI for iodine! Seaweed also contains another thyroid boosting nutrient called tyrosine, which is used with iodine in thyroid hormone production.”
Seaweed can not only help fight thyroid issues, but it can “also help ward off age-related conditions like heart disease.” With all these wonderful properties, seaweed makes the list of the healthiest superfoods available to us.
