Iodine levels play a big role in making sure your thyroid functions properly. Here are some ways to boost your iodine and your thyroid health through nutrition.
Iodine is not that common in many foods, but it’s a thyroid-regulating powerhouse. “The primary responsibility of iodine is supporting healthy metabolism, and lowering inflammation to prevent chronic disease,” says Samantha Franceschini, a health coach at Parsley Health New York. If you have a diagnosed thyroid issue and to prevent future issues, ensure you’re getting iodine into your day and focus on other thyroid health-boosting nutritional choices to round out your diet further.
