Where to look for iodine?
Iodine is an essential component of the production of thyroid hormones. These hormones are responsible for the course of energy reactions in the human body. Iodine deficiency in food may lead to functional disorders of the thyroid glandleading to the development of goiter (visible swelling in the neck), i.e. hypertrophy of the thyroid gland and its hypothyroidism.
Iodine deficiency occurs in all latitudes. It is currently estimated that over a billion people around the world live in regions where iodine deficiency exists. A close relationship has been observed between the amount of iodine in the human body and the body’s defense power and ability to resist diseases. It was found that the iodine content in the thyroid gland depends on the type of food consumed and the quality of water. In case of iodine deficiency, pathogenic germs are not eliminated effectively by the body.
There is a relationship between the energy a person has and the optimal amount of iodine consumed.
Iodine can also have a calming function in the body freeing him from renal tension, which manifests itself in increased excitability, insomnia and constant anxiety. It is also one of the best oxidation catalysts. It promotes tissue burning of nutrients, thus preventing the deposition of unnecessary fats and toxins in body tissues.
Drinking chlorinated water and consuming excessive amounts of salt causes iodine to be lost from the thyroid gland as it is displaced by chlorine.
Man can supplement iodine deficiency by eating products rich in iodine. The best source of iodine is sea fish and other products of marine origin. Small amounts of this element are found in vegetables – such as radishes, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, onion, spinach, beans, and asparagus. It is also found in some fruits (strawberries, bananas, wild strawberries, Lidia vine). Iodine of natural origin is found in sea algae tablets (spirulina and chlorella) and preparations containing cod liver oil. To replenish iodine reserves in the body, it is beneficial to stay in places with a high concentration of this element in water and air. In Poland, these are the Baltic Sea regions and graduation towers, e.g. in Ciechocinek.
