Everyone wants to be intellectual and face-to-face
The ideal is very full, but if the iodine deficiency is severe, you may...
Let's nag today
Why is iodine so cattle X?
Iodine is an essential ingredient for thyroid hormone synthesis
And thyroid hormones are the "nuclear weapons" of intelligence and appearance!
Thyroid hormones are mainly these two:
They can promote human growth and metabolism
as well as brain development
Iodine before it enters the human body
You will wander around in nature
From air to water, they are everywhere
When some iodine passes through food, water, air, etc
Slipped up to the human thyroid near...
It will be captured by a thyroid gland that has a special "fetish" for it
The iodine that was forcibly abducted was reluctant to cooperate with the thyroid gland
You will be "taught" by peroxidase first
Oxidation into activated iodine is then synthesized into thyroid hormones
Because the human body produces a certain amount of thyroid hormone every day
And these hormones cannot be consumed at once
Simply pack them all up and save them, and use as much as you want
The amount of deposit will generally be large
It can meet the needs of the human body for 2 to 3 months
Of course
These stored thyroid hormones are packaged
If you want to use it, you must first unzip it
T4 and T3 are released into the bloodstream after decompression
Part of it can immediately meet true love (combined with protein)
The rest will become single dogs (free state)
Normally the thyroid gland is like this
Synthesize and release a quota of thyroid hormones per day
Once there is not enough iodine, problems arise
Originally synthesized every day to have a stockpile
But now there is not enough iodine, and there is no way to synthesize enough thyroid hormones
At this time, the thyroid gland will be in line with the principle of "many people are powerful"
Produce more thyroid cells and constantly grow thyroid tissue
The immediate manifestation is enlargement
It's what we call the "big neck."
Because thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion are reduced
Or its physiological effects are insufficient
It will cause the body's metabolism to decrease, resulting in hypothyroidism
But too much iodine is also a problem
Too much iodine means more thyroid hormones can be synthesized
Too much thyroid hormone in the blood
It can cause hypermetabolism and sympathetic excitement
Causes hyperthyroidism
If thyroid hormone production is exceeded for a long time
The immune system may use thyroid cells as destroying molecules
Attack it
This can cause inflammation of the thyroid gland
Mr. Immediately Mr. Thyroiditis
When the attack begins
A portion of the thyroid hormone stored in the thyroid gland
will be released
As more and more thyroid cells are attacked
Instead, there is nothing to produce hormones,
This eventually leads to a decrease in production leading to hypothyroidism
Serious ones can even lead to cancer
So, how should thyroid disease patients eat iodine?
First, patients with hyperthyroidism
Avoid the iodine diet
Due to the excessive production and release of thyroid hormones
Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the intake of iodine from the source
Second, hypothyroidism patients
Depending on the high or low iodine diet
Iodine deficiency type nail reduction should be supplemented with more iodine
You can consume more high-iodine foods
Autoimmune hypothyroidism
Iodine deficiency cannot be judged directly from symptoms
The "urinary iodine" value can be used to determine whether to increase or decrease iodine intake
Then the problem arises again
If we eat iodized salt every day, will it lead to iodine exceeding the standard?
World Health Organization
Adults are recommended to consume 150 micrograms of iodine per day
And eat 6 grams of salt a day
Approximately 120 micrograms of iodine can be ingested
In addition, iodine is easily volatile at high temperatures
When cooked at high temperatures (such as stir-frying), some of the iodine volatilizes
Therefore, the normal consumption of iodized salt does not have to worry about iodine exceeding the standard
Even if you eat too much iodized salt in a short period of time, don't be afraid
The human body has a self-regulating function
Excess iodine can be excreted through the kidneys
Unless you eat a lot of high-iodine foods every day
Only may cause iodine to exceed the standard
Usually pay attention to a balanced diet, and eat high and low iodine foods together
So how do I know that there is more iodine?
Don't worry, there are 5 common foods here
