If you think you have symptoms of a thyroid problem or other hormonal imbalance. There are two main things you can do that can help maintain healthy thyroid function: Eat well. A healthy, well balanced diet is your first line of defense in supporting a healthy thyroid. All adults need iodine to support the thyroid. If you have a good diet, you are almost certainly getting your needed amount of iodine.

Other things like avoiding excess sugar in the form of simple carbohydrates and reducing your intake of high saturated fats also helps as these foods put stress on the thyroid. 
Also increasing physical activity and staying active helps prevent you from becoming overweight. Being overweight also creates additional stress on the thyroid. Learn more at our Workshop Tonight ,  Click here to register or call us @ 407-278-8115.
