What is Hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to secrete sufficient thyroxine and triiodothyronine. When thyroid hormone production is below normal, all body functions slow down leading to a sense of mental and physical sluggishness, weakness, and weight gain. Chronic cases can lead to dull facial expression, drooping eyelids, hoarse speech, thinning or dry, brittle hair, dry skin, myxedema (swelling of the skin and soft tissues), menstrual disorders, bradycardia, pericardial effusion, constipation, depression, paresthesias, ataxia, and anemia.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Fatigue, lethargy, slower movements
Memory loss, depression
Constipation, weight gain
Intolerance to cold
Dry skin and hair
Goiter (enlarged thyroid gland)
Puffy eyes
Heavy menstrual period
Risk Factors and Causes of Hypothyroidism
Gender (occurs four times more in woman than men)
Age (increases with age, especially women over 50)
Genetics
Obesity
Hashimoto's thyroiditis
Radiation therapy for cancer
Treatments for Hypothyroidism
For both hyper- and hypothyroidism
Use your thumb and fingertips occasionally to press very gently along the front of your neck just below the Adam's apple to feel for lumps and bumps. If you feel lumps or bumps this may signal thyroid trouble.
For Hypothyroidism
Avoid excessive amounts of cruciferous vegetables. They can suppress thyroid function. Example foods to avoid are broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, and kale.
Avoid grains and sugars
Get plenty of iodine-containing foods such as shellfish and saltwater fish.
Use iodized salt, also found in many breads and cereals.
