They are in charge of delivering messages between themselves and other body parts so that all of those tiny cells are regulated and functioning at the proper levels. The thyroid gland produces essential hormones that have many effects on metabolism, growth and development, its health is extremely important to your overall health.
If your thyroid isn’t functioning properly it can lead to developmental defects or weight gain or loss. The food we eat is our medicine, so consuming the proper foods will help support your thyroid to ensure it remains in tip top shape.
