When I read that according to the AmericanThyroid Support Review Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, 27 million Americans have either an overactive or underactive thyroid, I was astounded! In addition, over half of these people don't even realize their thyroid is at risk because of the general symptoms which can be recognized as a variety of other health problems. The following is a list of symptoms associated with thyroid disease, specifically Hypothyroidism:

If you have 3 or more of any of these symptoms, you may have an underactive thyroid. Your thyroid, which is a tiny, butterfly shaped gland at the base of your throat, produces hormones that control every function in your body. Thyroid hormones help to improve mood, skin, hair, nails, sex drive, heart function, cholesterol, and so much more. Therefore, it is vitally important to take good care of your thyroid. Below I have made a list of several natural cures and remedies you can use to heal and maintain a healthy thyroid:

 Specific nutrients for your thyroid are Iodine, Selenium, Omega 3 fatty acids, Zinc, Vitamin E and Vitamin D. The best source of Iodine is found in sea vegetables, including marine phytoplankton. The best source of Selenium is found in Brazil nuts. Getting plenty of sun for vitamin D and eating foods that contain omega 3 fatty acids such as walnuts, flaxseeds, and fatty fish like salmon and sardines is a very good diet for hypothyroidism. Certain foods such as cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage), peaches, strawberries, peanuts, radishes, spinach, and millet are considered goitrogenic, which mean they can hinder thyroid-hormone production by reducing the amount of iodine in your body. Many people with underactive thyroids are sensitive to gluten, which is found in certain grains, and soy products, which is also considered goitrogenic and estrogenic.
