Thyroid Tonic

Your thyroid is a set of multiple glands that work to keep your body running smoothly. They deliver messages (hormones) between themselves and other body parts so that all of those tiny cells are regulated and functioning at the proper levels. The hormones produced by the thyroid (T3 and T4)  are essential for life and have many effects on metabolism, growth and development.
Thyroid health is important, because if your thyroid isn't functioning properly it can lead to developmental defects or weight gain. Food is our medicine, so consuming the proper foods will help support your thyroid to ensure it remains in tip top shape. Carrots contain ample amounts of beta-carotene which is the precursor for vitamin A in the body. If you are low on vitamin A, your ability to produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is limited. This vitamin is required by the body to convert T4 to T3. 
B-complex vitamins are required for good thyroid function. Cucumbers contain B vitamins, so they are a good choice when trying to nourish the thyroid glands. Without B vitamins the thyroid and adrenal glands fail to secrete their hormones, and won't be able to utilize its iodine raw material efficiently to make hormones. B vitamins are especially useful in individuals with an overactive thyroid.

      there is an herbal supplement called metabolic thyroid! it is excellent for taking for your thyroid. I had major problems with mine, I was losing hair and various other problems. this is a great natural herb without side effects and will repair your thyroid,take for at least a year. make sure you check yourself before you stop taking it.it will rake a few months before it starts to correct the problem, then after that you will start toto see major improvement. and I second the iodine supplement. I took it in addition to the metabolic thyroid. you can find it ina liquid form with a dropper.

    Iodine is food for your thyroid. Any good health food store will carry it. The usual dosage is 2 drops daily or 1200 mcg's. The first drop goes to your breasts to prevent fibroids and cysts from growing. The second drop goes to your thyroid. It also helps balance your hormones, so you can loose weight.

      Look up adrenal fatigue - you should take the steps necessary to get your thyroid functioning naturally again.

      Thanks for the help. The recipe did not say how much or how often, so this helped to clarify the directions.

      What is a fruit ninja? Any kind of juicer should work. Omega is best.
