The thyroid gland is one of the endocrine glands located near the throat area of human beings. It secretes hormones that regulate metabolic processes like heart rate, blood pressure, appetite, etc.
If we take a look at our bodies, we can easily notice that our thyroid glands are located in front of our shoulders. They are small organs that produce hormones responsible for regulating the metabolic rate and energy production in the human body. There are two parts inside the thyroid gland that work together to regulate the hormone levels in the body: Parathyroid Glands (PTG) and Thyroid Glands. PTGs release parathormone (PTH), while the Thyroid Glands release thyroxine (T4). We need both of these hormones to function properly. If either of them is lacking, it will affect the other functions of the body.
It has been said that the best way to get rid of thyroid problems is to increase its intake. So what exactly are some of the top 2 nutrients for growing a better thyroid?
- Selenium
Selenium helps keep the thyroid producing high-quality T4 and lower levels of PTH. This means less stress is put on the body, so your thyroid gland won’t have any reason to overwork. You should eat foods rich in selenium like Brazil nuts, tuna fish, salmon, eggs, broccoli, garlic, yeast extract, and meat.
- Magnesium
Magnesium is another mineral that plays an important role in your thyroid health. When magnesium is abundant enough, you will have healthy levels of PTH and T4. Some food sources include almonds, avocados, cashews, flax seeds, green leafy vegetables, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sea salt, spinach, wheat germ, yogurt, and whole grains.
