Your thyroid is a gland in your neck, just below and surrounding your “Adam’s apple.” Its function is to make and release hormones. These hormones play an essential role in setting your metabolism.

If you have a thyroid disease, which millions, mostly women, do, then your body’s energy usage either speeds up or slows down. If your thyroid gland is sluggish, hypothyroidism, that problem can cause you to:

• gain weight
• feel fatigued
• cold temperature difficulties

If your thyroid is overactive, hyperthyroidism, your body is receiving too much of your thyroid’s hormone. This condition can result in you having problems, like:

• weight loss
• heat sensitivity
• sped up heart rate

Treatment involves trying to reset your body’s metabolism to a normal rate. And healthy living is an important part of your recovery from thyroid disease. This means:

• exercising regularly
• getting enough sleep
• eating a balanced diet
• fresh air & relaxation time

This healthy living is also a prevention in your acquiring thyroid disease in the first place, along with a myriad of other negative health conditions.
