I want to know about thyroid. What to eat and to avoid. What is the cause of thyroid.

Question

Prabhaji, Your query is not correct. The reason is we all have thyroid gland, which produces an essential hormone by name thyroxine. required for development of brain and for almost all metabolic activities in the body.
The problems with thyroid gland are : 1) Hypothyroidism (under active thyroid), 2) Hyperthyroid(over active thyroid).
Most common condition is hypothyroidism that too more so in women. Main reason earlier was iodine deficiency. Now with iodinated salt intake, that has come down. However, autoimmune condition is another main cause.
There is no way to avoid the autoimmune condition. But deficiency can be avoided by taking iodinated salt. Thanks
