Iodine

Do you know how important iodine is for your overall wellbeing? The common nutritional deficiency behind most hypothyroidism and sluggish thyroid activity is insufficient iodine. And you are susceptible to radiation damage without sufficient protection from iodine.

Iodine’s RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is 150 mcg (micrograms) per day. Experts recommend matching the Japanese intake of iodine of 12.5 mg (milligrams) per day, 100 times greater than the USFDA’s RDA. (Japan has the lowest rates of thyroid, prostate, and breast cancer.)

Seaweed, such as Organic Canadian Dulse is rich in iodine.

Coconut oil contains iodine combined with other nutrients to boost thyroid activity. It can be used for cooking, baking, in smoothies, or simply taken as a supplement by the spoonful.

Avoid bromine, used by commercial bakeries for bread and pastries. Bromine displaces iodine in the thyroid gland.
