You may already recognize a strong connection between hypothyroidism, diet, and you.

It's unfortunate that when you go to a doctor you may not get much insight on what you can do to control your hypothyroidism.

To this day, I'm still confused as to why most doctors think there's no connection between your diet and hypothyroidism. Yet when you're struggling with symptoms and weight loss doctors blame your diet, hmm?

If the answer is hesitant or absent, you will do yourself a favor by changing doctors. He or she should quickly tell you that it concentrates iodine and tyrosine to make thyroid hormones.

If you don't get a simple, quick, answer, run! The response should be... "The body makes thyroid hormone by concentrating iodine and tyrosine."

In addition to iodine and tyrosine, the body requires a host of other minerals and vitamins. They include vitamin A, vitamin B, manganese, magnesium, selenium, zinc and copper to produce and convert the thyroid hormone. But, tyrosine and iodine are the most important ones.

Where do you go for these necessary nutrients when your food does not supply them in sufficient amounts? There are supplements, but, they do not adequately replace a deficient diet.

Without getting these required nutrients from the food you consume, what other way can you obtain them? Supplements are available. However, no supplements are a good substitute for a poor diet.

Hypothyroidism happens for two reasons, which are diet and environment. Another factor is stress. Should the knowledge that these three things are associated with thyroid problems indicate what to include in treatment?

In what way does the diet and the environment where you live enable hypothyroidism or another disease to develop? The vitamins and minerals that are lacking allow toxicity of the body to cause it to break down.

The question then is, how does your diet and the environment you live in contribute to hypothyroidism or any other disease? Both of these things can make vitamin and mineral deficiencies, along with bodily toxicity likely to develop. The situation will, at some point, create a breakdown affecting your body and health.

It is good information to have. There does seem to be a strong connection between the person, hypothyroidism and the food that person eats.

If your diet consists of healthy food, it will be beneficial to good health.

Eat well and allow your body to prosper.
