7 Nutrient Deficiencies You Probably Have

  1. Iodine

Thyroid issues seem to be more common in women these days, as hormones struggle to remain stable.

Iodine is a mineral that is needed for your thyroid to function, and produce the thyroid hormone.

Thyroid hormones are essential for growth, brain development, bone maintenance, and metabolic regulation, according to Healthline.

The National Institute of Health reported:

“Iodine deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the world. It affects nearly one-third of the world’s population.”

Without iodine, children can become mentally retarded or have developmental abnormalities.

In adults, iodine deficiency symptoms are recognized by increased heart rate, shortness of breath, weight gain, or a goiter.

Order some more of your favorite vegetable rolls, because seaweed is a great source of iodine, along with fish, dairy, and eggs.
