How can we prevent goiter?

Goiter is one of the most common occurring thyroid disorder. It causes the swelling in neck. Preventing goiter is easy which needs a small change in nutrition. Iodine is important for producing thyroid hormones. Some people do not eat extra  iodine so it causes the thyroid to work overtime to produce thyroid hormones. Using iodized table salt can prevent simple goiter.

A) Get Enough Iodine: The iodized salt should have 76 kg of iodine/gm and daily consumption of salt is between 2 and 6 g gm. Iodine is necessary for producing thyroid hormones. Some patients do not eat ample quantity of  iodine.So it causes the thyroid to work overtime to produce thyroid hormones.

B) Using iodized table salt can prevent goiter.

C) Eating foods which contain Iodine naturally like Irganuc Yoghurt, Organic Navy Beans, Strawberries, Potatoes.

D) Eating Iodine supplements, there are many options available in the market.
