Vince Gironda used to say that ‘definition’ is the result of diet and thyroid.
He wasn’t wrong.
A fully functioning thyroid gland will produce the thyroid hormones that play a crucial role in the body’s metabolism.
A healthy metabolism enables you to maintain optimal energy levels, as well as burn body fat easily.
The thyroid gland uses iodine, along with the amino acid, Tyrosine, to synthesize thyroid hormones ‘triiodothyronine’ (T3) and ‘thyroxine’ (T4).
However, today’s modern diet, rich in overly processed foods, refined sugar, salt, flour, rice, and hydrogenated oils depletes the body’s iodine stores.
For the first time in centuries, thyroid problems in the USA are rampant…
Resulting in a mass of health concerns across today’s society.
Where did it all go wrong?
Everything Was Fine 200 Years Ago...
Back in the 1800s, when America was a country full of proud farmers, iodine intake amongst the population was very high, ranging between 15-80mg on a daily basis.
At this time, conditions relating to a malfunctioning thyroid were nil.
However, today’s U.S. government recommends a minimum daily iodine requirement of 0.15mg.
A paltry intake in comparison and insufficient for optimizing thyroid health.
What changed?
Since the 1800s, modern farming began to take over, relying heavily on the use of synthetic fertilizers and potassium nitrate (NPK).
These synthetic compounds strip the soil of its iodine content, making it far less prevalent in the modern diet.
Japanse soils are still extremely nutritious and supply the population with a diet rich in iodine.
Similar to the 19th century American farmers, iodine intake amongst the Japanese population is a minimum of 18mg a day.
In comparison to the USA, thyroid problems in Japan are non-existent.
In addition, women also experience very low rates of breast cancer, fibroid cysts, and ovarian cancer.
Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in regulating the body’s metabolism and energy levels, allowing you to function at an optimal level.
However, without Iodine, the thyroid cannot synthesize thyroid hormones, which can lead to a whole host of negative effects in the body, including: -
NSP Super I/KI Iodine Tabs contain 18.5mg of potassium iodide, which yields 12.5mg of elemental iodine and can quickly reverse the symptoms of low thyroid levels by providing the most important building block of thyroid hormone.
If you are suffering from an iodine deficiency, supplementing with Super I/KI Iodine Tabs may help to kickstart a sluggish metabolism.
This could help ignite your fat loss and give your energy levels a much-needed boost so you can train with more intensity in the gym.
