Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6

The thyroid is often called the body's 'master controller' as it controls almost every metabolic process in the body ...

It controls metabolic rate, hormone sensitivity and the building of new proteins among many other things. Every cell in the body has thyroid hormone receptors.

Negative thyroid function has a long, miserable list of symptoms including weight gain, inability to lose weight, fatigue, depressed mood, forgetfulness, being cold all the time, constipation, dry hair and skin, and others.

I think you can see how important it is for your thyroid to be working well.

Here are some foods you should eat regularly to help your thyroid work at its best:

1. Oily fish, ground flax seed, or an omega-3 supplement

Oily fish contains both Omega 3 fatty acids, iodine and vitamin D which are all important factors in improved thyroid function.

Wild salmon is the best of the bunch but there are others like pilchards and sardines which are also good. If you can't get fresh fish, then ground flax seed or a good quality omega-3 supplement is a good way to go.
