If we present symptoms of a weakened thyroid but do not suffer from hypothyroidism, it is convenient that we strengthen the gland naturally, for example, through diet, to avoid future problems.
In recent years, many people have been interested in learning about ways to “activate” or care for the thyroid. This small butterfly-shaped gland is located in the lower and central part of the neck and is mainly responsible for producing hormones that participate in many functions of the body, including metabolism.
When its functions are weakened, for example due to a low production of hormones (hypothyroidism), the body begins to present a series of symptoms that reduce the quality of life if they are not controlled in time. Regarding this, the World Health Organization warns that 10% of the population has thyroid disorders.
Do you have a weak thyroid?
If you have not done tests to check the status of your thyroid, you should know what are the most common symptoms of hypothyroidism or a weakened thyroid. According to information in The Lancet , clinical manifestations include:
Tiredness.
Hoarseness.
Constipation.
Humor changes.
Nervousness or anxiety
Constant feeling of cold.
Dry skin and hair and brittle nails.
Weight changes and difficulty losing weight.
If we suffer from several of these symptoms, we may need to activate the thyroid. However, in the first place we must prioritize a consultation with the doctor and endocrinologist, since they are in charge of giving us an accurate diagnosis. Then, if these professionals agree, we can try some tips to stimulate thyroid functions.
