Health tips
Let’s talk about Iodine! Many of us females don’t get enough iodine yet it’s crucial for our Thyroid Hormone. When our thyroid is out of balance, all of our hormones get out of balance. Thyroid is the queen bee for our body! You can buy iodine supplements or take prenatals but it’s also a good idea to add iodine rich foods into your diet, like sea vegetables! Kelp, Nori, Kombu, Arame, Wakame, etc, are extremely high in iodine and key players for your thyroid. Just leave out the soy sauce, which has the opposite effect. Enjoy and happy Wednesday!!
