Hypothyroidism, Diet, And You

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


You may already recognize a strong connection between hypothyroidism, diet, and you.

I remain very confused about how most physicians do not confirm a connection between the food you eat and the condition of hypothyroidism. It is a mystery how he or she can blame diet as you struggle against gaining weight and dealing with symptoms.

It is a confusing situation when many doctors do not acknowledge a connection between what you eat and hypothyroidism. However, as you struggle to deal with symptoms and try to lose weight, these same physicians place the blame on what you eat.

If the answer is hesitant or absent, you will do yourself a favor by changing doctors. He or she should quickly tell you that it concentrates iodine and tyrosine to make thyroid hormones.

If you don't get a simple, quick, answer, run! The response should be... "The body makes thyroid hormone by concentrating iodine and tyrosine."

In addition to iodine and tyrosine, the body requires a host of other minerals and vitamins. They include vitamin A, vitamin B, manganese, magnesium, selenium, zinc and copper to produce and convert the thyroid hormone. But, tyrosine and iodine are the most important ones.

Where do you go for these necessary nutrients when your food does not supply them in sufficient amounts? There are supplements, but, they do not adequately replace a deficient diet.

Without getting these required nutrients from the food you consume, what other way can you obtain them? Supplements are available. However, no supplements are a good substitute for a poor diet.

Hypothyroidism happens for two reasons, which are diet and environment. Another factor is stress. Should the knowledge that these three things are associated with thyroid problems indicate what to include in treatment?

In what way does the diet and the environment where you live enable hypothyroidism or another disease to develop? The vitamins and minerals that are lacking allow toxicity of the body to cause it to break down.

The question then is, how does your diet and the environment you live in contribute to hypothyroidism or any other disease? Both of these things can make vitamin and mineral deficiencies, along with bodily toxicity likely to develop. The situation will, at some point, create a breakdown affecting your body and health.

It is good information to have. There does seem to be a strong connection between the person, hypothyroidism and the food that person eats.

If your diet consists of healthy food, it will be beneficial to good health.

Eat well and allow your body to prosper.

Enjoy A Horse Performance In A Show Or At The Racetrack

By Essie Craft Riding or watching this magnificent animal is such a pleasure. It captures the hearts of a crowd to witness a horse performance of any kind. Being a spectator or holding out a hand to offer a treat will always create a wonderful memory. There are variations but the two basic types of riding are English and Western. This refers to the tack that is used, the saddle and bridle. For the English riding and jumping events, a flat saddle and bridle with double reins are used. The rider controls the animal holding the reins in two hands. Small water obstacles, brick walls and fences set up in different sequences are used in jumping competitions. In a Western show you will see the rider take the steed around the cloverleaf pattern in the barrel race or weave between the poles in the pole bending event. The Western saddle is bulkier. The saddle horn at the front is where the old time ranch hands tied their ropes as they lassoed calves for branding. In a rodeo the c...
