By now, we all know how important it is for our bodies to function properly. But unfortunately, we miss focusing on some essential functions that affect our overall health, one being our thyroid gland. It helps secrete hormones that regulate essential bodily functions including metabolism, weight management and mental well-being to name a few. It is believed that low production of the hormone affects these functions majorly. This is where our diet comes into play. As we all know, we are what we eat; hence, it is important to focus on the foods we eat and their nutrient quotient for holistic well-being.
