HEAL YOUR THYROID NATURALLY!

IMPROVE ENERGY

Mushrooms

Working three cups of mushrooms (any type!) into your weekly meals could cut your risk of thyroid slowdowns by 70%, report researchers in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness. The result? You'll sail through even your busiest days with double your usual energy and focus. The credit goes to mushrooms' rich stores of selenium, an essential mineral the thyroid uses to produce the energizing hormone T3.

CLEARS AWAY TOXINS

A morning breeze

Ushering fresh air into your home (by opening a few windows for 20 to 30 minutes each morning) is a wonderful way to start the day—and it's a proven way to prevent thyroid slowdowns. According to investigators reporting in the journal Medical Archives, the air pollutants that tend to build up in tightly sealed homes can clog hormone receptor sites on your thyroid, making this gland (and you) sluggish. But breathing in fresh, clean air quickly flushes out pollutants, sharpening focus and restoring stamina in minutes!
