one in 10 Indians suffers from thyroid
issues most of the time with
hypothyroidism
that's 120 million Indians and women are
much more likely than men are developed
thyroid issues so if you're a young girl
watching this it's your duty to know
everything there is to know about
hypothyroidism it might affect you or
your relatives at some point in your
life hypothyroidism hypo means less and
thyroidism is anything related to your
thyroid gland a gland present in your
neck and responsible for producing two
key hormones t3 and t4 and t3 and t4
regulate your metabolism anything that
going wrong with your thyroid line has a
carryover to your metabolism your
metabolism determines the speed with
which your body works so determines your
body's temperature how fast you can use
energy from food your heartbeat and most
importantly how you can burn calories it
has a one-to-one relation with your
overall fitness levels and that's why -
i roit ism is a fitness issue in many
cases because a lack of those thyroid
hormones can lead to a slower metabolism
which in the long term leads to weight
gain and once you gain weight it slows
down your metabolism even more and it
causes many long-term issues so a lot of
middle-aged women women in their 40s or
50s will gain a lot of weight suddenly
they struggle to lose weight and it's
actually a hormonal issues nothing to do
with their food habits but most of the
time hypothyroidism goes undetected and
that's why it's such a big issue
hypothyroidism and the slower metabolism
can lead to weight gain or struggle with
losing weight depression changes in your
mood changes in your menstrual cycles
and a bunch of long-term issues as well
long-term outcomes include heart disease
infertility serious joint pain and
obesity but those are long-term outcomes
as I've always said any kind of
lifestyle disease like thyroid can be
cured by fixing your diet and fixing
your exercise regime but the point we
noted here is that hypothyroidism is one
of those rare life
the visas that of two types one which
can be fixed by fixing your fitness and
diet but the other cannot be fixed so
simply so as much as dietitians and
fitness influences will tell you that
I'll cure your hypothyroidism through
your diet that may not be the case every
time so let's get into the science of it
now both the cases of hypothyroidism
have similar symptoms so if you're
seeing that you gain weight suddenly as
you're struggling to lose weight or if
you have a swelling in your neck it's
time to get yourself tested for these
hypothyroidism issues then you need to
think of what kind of hypothyroidism it
is the first kind of hypothyroidism is
the most common case and it can be fixed
just through your diet it happens
because of a deficiency of iodine and a
deficiency of iron in your diet in order
to fix this iodine deficiency you need
to include iodine rich foods so that's
primarily seafood or seaweed if you're
non-vegetarian and if you are a
vegetarian you can go for iodized salt
occurred that day and as for the iron
rich foods if you're non-vegetarian
include a little bit of red meat once a
week in your diet and if you're a
vegetarian go for beans and go for dry
fruit so iodine an ion help with the
production of t3 and t4 but there's a
third factor called goitrogens and
goitrogens are foods that affect the
production of those two hormones in your
thyroid gland and these are foods you
want to avoid this is a list of commonly
found koi Trojans food items that you
need to avoid in India the common ones
are cabbage cauliflower mustard greens
that Circo and broccoli avoid these soon
now these were the diet factors that you
need to change if you're someone dealing
with hypothyroidism eventually I will be
putting out a detailed diet plan to help
you do the same but let's come to the
second kind of hypothyroidism in this
case you cannot fix it with just fixing
your diet and your fitness regime I am
of the opinion that is possible you
shouldn't be putting medication inside
your body and all kinds of lifestyle
diseases can be fixed just by fixing
your diet and exercise plan but this is
one of those rare instances where you
need to turn to medicine and doctor
the second kind of hypothyroidism
involves your body producing antibodies
against your thyroid gland so this is a
genetic issue
it's nuns and families now if your mum
support from this kind of issue it's
likely that you might as well in this
situation your body produces substances
actually go and attack your thyroid line
and prevent it from producing those P 3
and P 4 hormones in the process you end
up with hypothyroidism and your
metabolism slows down and you get all
those bad outcomes of having
hypothyroidism so the solution to this
problem is that firstly go see your
doctor the doctor is going to prescribe
a man-made form of the P for hormone to
you so that's a synthetic drug but it
will help you cure your thyroid problem
if you back it up with the correct diet
and exercise plan and coming to exercise
that always the main solution in
long-term problems like this remember if
you have a habit of exercising regularly
it's very likely that you won't end up
with hormonal issues like this when
you're older that's what exercise can do
for you obviously it can help you burn
off fat but it also perpetually
increases your metabolism you always
have a fast metabolism if you are
dealing with thyroid issues take up and
exercise regime that's my biggest advice
to you as a fitness and health coach and
as a human being your main job is to
keep your body active if you don't move
forward your body will move backwards if
you're someone who has an active
lifestyle throughout your life you won't
end up with thyroid problems later in
life and even if you have higher ed
problems currently you can get rid of
them completely by taking up an exercise
regime along with a little help from
medication of course my biggest advice
to every single woman who is suffering
from thyroid issues is that firstly
again just like all hormonal problems in
2017 this is a very common very normal
issue get yourself tested get yourself
educated and get yourself fit again hey
