9 in 10 Don’t Get Enough Iodine And It Causes Health Issues

When you hear iodine, many people might automatically think about the reddish-orange liquid used in medical offices as a disinfectant. But iodine is also an essential element for your body.

Unfortunately, iodine deficiency is something that affects billions of people worldwide. In fact, it is estimated that around 90% of North Americans are deficient in iodine, and it has been linked to many major health and wellness problems.

The body requires iodine to produce thyroid hormones, and iodine also increases the efficiency of your body’s metabolism. Additionally, iodine controls virtually all hormone balance within the body and helps cells absorb important vitamins and minerals.

So when people aren’t taking in sufficient amounts of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals, while also being deficient in iodine, these two situations can obviously combine to cause major health problems to arise.

How Do I Know If I’m Getting Enough Iodine?

There are plenty of signs that your body will exhibit if it is not getting enough iodine. Ten of the most common signs and symptoms of an iodine deficiency are:

  1. Swelling in the neck
  2. Unexpected weight gain
  3. Fatigue and weakness
  4. Hair loss
  5. Dry,

Is Your Body’s Check Engine Light On?

If you own a vehicle, or really any piece of equipment that requires constant upkeep to continue functioning correctly, you know how important preventative maintenance is. You also know how easy it is to get behind on preventative maintenance, or to constantly kick the can down the road for another day.

Not All Multivitamin Supplements Are The Same

It is currently estimated that one in three adults in the United States takes a multivitamin supplement on a daily basis, with the percentage of users gradually increasing as age increases.

This huge user base has caused the dietary supplement industry to go over $50 billion in total sales per year, which, in turn, creates opportunities for many different companies to enter the supplement market with their own product.

When you go down the supplement aisle in your local grocery store,

Examining The Link Between Heart Health and Micronutrients

The month of February has several associations with the heart. The two most prominent among those, however, are Valentine’s Day (of course) as well as the fact that February is American Heart Month. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and one-third of all global deaths each year can be attributed to cardiovascular disease overall.

Many doctors worldwide say that these deaths are mainly due to people’s unwise diet choices and high salt intake–although we’ve already talked about how important salt (the right kind of salt) is for your body–but another link continues to pop up in research all around the globe: micronutrient deficiency.

Osteoporosis Rates Continue To Rise. Here’s How To Prevent It

If you are a relatively healthy young adult, you probably haven’t given much thought to osteoporosis. As you age, though, the risk for developing this disease continues to rise. As of 2020, an estimated 53.6 million U.S. adults aged 50 years or older–over 50% of that total population–had either osteoporosis or low bone mass.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more susceptible to sudden and unexpected fractures. The disease often progresses without any symptoms or pain,
