The Two Sides Of The Story Of Iodine

By Michael Edwards


Out from all the one hundred eighteen elements of the periodic table, Iodine somehow has its own kind of brand. It must be very important in health built of an individual because it is what produces thyroid hormone which is responsible for regulating the body temperature, metabolism and of course your heart rate. This particular element is indeed essential to your diet because if not why else invent iodine derivatives.

Here is a trivia, do you know that once a person gets lack of iodine it can drive them nuts like literally mental retardation. Alarming as may sound, in the world population there are two billion people out there who are suffering such epidemic. Limiting the amount of which does not only affect the state of health but it can also affect your life living in the way full of discriminations.

Here is an additional knowledge, the consequences of lacking iodine can damage your brain as a matter of fact it is one the leading cause of mental retardation. This phenomenon affected a percentage of two billion in the population and that alone is indeed highly alarming number what more to those people that are suffering from goiter.

There are certain countries that are focusing on this as a primary problem that needs to be taken in action once and for all because seriously health is important more than anything else in this world. If you are into salty food well at some point that can be a good news because this is one way or another to solve the epidemical problem.

So much consumption of salt is dangerous to the extent that health organization already made a warning for all to know that it leads to an increase of blood pressure followed by being risk of heart diseases and stroke. Nevertheless this remains a theory for the reason of so far no researchers yet justified it but then health is what is being talked about here and you just cannot allow a single bad move because regret always comes after.

On contrary, none of the researchers have successfully justified this statement but the mere fact that it is better to just play safe than to be sorry makes it enough for you to know that all things have their own limits. To warn you even more, what happens to a person deficient causes the same thing to those who are excessive with iodine.

Getting a very large dose of what the body requires causes thyroid gland inflammation and thyroid cancer. What is worse is that there are also side effects that you might not handle to think it burns your mouth, throat and stomach just imagine fever alone is already bumming what more stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that you have deal with on a daily basis.

The bottom line is that balance is a must reminds you the line sola dosis facit venenum, the basic principle of toxicology that Paracelsus once said in English the dose makes the poison. Every single thing can lead to some certain harmful effects in the sense that the body has its own limits it cannot take a whole lot of cow to enjoy the burger. Please take care of yourself because health is wealth and you by all people should know that.
