Foods rich in B vitamins such as fish, whole grains, pulses and seeds to counter the weight loss
associated with an overactive thyroid gland.

The thyroid gland, which sits in front of the windpipe just below the Adams apple,
Produces iodine-containing hormones that control the body’s metabolic rate. Iodine deficiency is
however quite rare in the developed world, usually occurring in area where dietary iodine intakes is
low because of low levels of mineral in soil and water. In such areas, the amount of iodine in the diet
should be increased.

forgetfulness, and weight gain, sensitivity to cold, constipation, dry skin and hair. Hypothyroidism is
prevalent in the elderly but can affect people of all ages.

IODINE
Fish, seafood and the seaweed and the sea itself are the best sources of iodine, the mineral salt
which derives from iodine. Fruit and vegetables also supply dietary iodine but the amount depends
on the levels of the minerals in the soil in which they are grown.
Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones, which naturally govern the rate and efficiency at which
food is converted into energy, but also regulate physical and mental development.
Mild iodine deficiency leads to a slightly enlarged thyroid gland knows as goitre and is most likely to
occur in woman of reproductive age. It is easily prevented by eating fish, seaweed, or seafood.
Coarsening of the hair or skin are often physical indications of hyperthyroidism, this is not due to
iodine deficiency but is caused by the body developing antibodies against its own thyroid gland.
Symptoms of this condition may include drowsiness, apathy, and extreme sensitivity to cold and
muscle weakness as well as weight increase.
Seaweed
Most types are excellent sources of iodine. Thyroid gland produces
hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism and its growth and
development. Seaweed dried strips have a naturally salty flavour due
to their high mineral content. Often crumbled added to salads or
eaten dry as edible wraps for sushi.
Algae supplements
Kelp tablets are a convenient way to include some seaweed in the diet to treat mild thyroid disorders.
