Boost Your Iodine Levels

I wrote an article about adrenal fatigue recently and I mentioned the importance of taking iodine.   Thinking about it I realized I should expound more on the many great ways to get iodine into your diet and into your life.

Sea vegetables are an excellent source of iodine and other trace minerals.  Sea kelp is available as granules you can sprinkle on your food.  I like to add it to soups.  But you can also put it on your salads, casseroles or any other dish that you like.  For your convenience kelp also comes in tablets and capsules so you can just take it with your other daily supplements.

Another fun and delicious way to get your iodine is with tasty snacks.  Seaweed crackers and nori treats are available online and in your local health food stores.  Asian or Thai markets are another great resource to find products made with seaweed.

Dried fish or fish sauce also have good amounts of iodine In them.
Iodine boosts your metabolism and keeps your thyroid in good shape.   Which also helps your immune system and  can help you lose weight.  Or gain weight if you need it.

I think getting plenty of iodine is not just important for people with thyroid issues.

Everyone can benefit!
