Seaweed = Iodine for thyroid
Did you know that the mineral iodine is required to make thyroid hormone? If we’re not eating iodine then we may not be able to make adequate amounts of thyroid hormone that our body needs.
So how can we make sure we’re including this important mineral in our diet each week? Seafood! Since iodine is abundant in seawater, veggies and fish contain good amounts.
My favorite sources:
Seaweed snacks - I like olive oil snacks in my lunchbox
Dried kelp flakes - great for sprinkling on veggies
Seaweed soup - just add seaweed sheets to your broth
Seafood meals such as shrimp
Quality salt - like
How do you enjoy your iodine?
