Thyroid Foods

Why do we need “iodine foods” ?

The blood takes 17 minutes to complete it’s cycle.  It circulates through our whole body and the thyroid gland multiple times a day. The blood needs sufficient levels of iodine to kill the germs in your thyroid gland. When your iodine intake is low, it can become deprived and less efficient.

What foods contain iodine ?

Foods rich in iodine are

• asparagus
• bananas
• carrots
• chard
• cod-liver oil
• egg yolks
• garlic
• lettuce
• lima beans

• mushrooms
• onions
• potatoes
• peas

If your body becomes saturated with an excess intake of iodine, you will feel an increase of moisture in the nose. Cut back on your iodine intake until the runny nose returns to normal.
