Editor's Notes
- The thyroid is one of the most important glands of your body. It’s been called “the master gland” the “manager” gland and “the brains” of your body’s gland system…it’s kind of like New York to the rest of the country. It is very influential…but you may not even know where it is or what it does.
- The thyroid is a 2-inch-long, butterfly-shaped gland weighing less than 1 ounce. Located in the front of the neck below the larynx, or voice box, it has two lobes, one on each side of the windpipe
- T3 is 5 times more active than T4T4 can be converted into T3 reverseT2 increases the metabolic rate of your muscles and fat tissues
- Hashimoto’s is the most common cause of thyroid disease. According to the World Health Organization 72% of the world population is iodine deficient. It has been noticed in people who swim in indoor pools have an increased incidence in hypothyroidism due to the cholrine replacing iodine.
- More common in women than men. Most frequently diagnosed between the ages of 30-40
- Hyperthyroidism can be life threatening and Must Always be treated by a physicianDietary includes cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale and brussel sproutsLeafy green vegetables, peaches, pears and soybeans
