Ever wondered why you feel sluggish, gain weight inexplicably, or have mood swings? It might be your thyroid, a small gland with a big impact on your overall health and your ability to focus on studies or work.
4 Signs Your Thyroid Might Need a Tune-Up:
- Energy Imbalance: Feeling constantly tired or unusually energetic?
- Weight Fluctuations: Unexplained weight gain or loss?
- Mood Swings: Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability?
- Hair and Skin Issues: Noticeable hair loss or dry, flaky skin?
“India has one of the world’s highest thyroid disorder rates.”
Don't Ignore the Signs:
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, consult your Campus Medical Officer. They will offer you advice or refer you to a specialist. Early detection and treatment can help manage thyroid disorders and improve your quality of life.
Keep Your Thyroid Happy:
- Nourish Your Body: Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and foods rich in:
- Selenium: Brazil nuts, almonds, meat
- Iodine: Iodised salt, milk, seafood, eggs, etc.
- Zinc: Beans, lentils, meat, seafood, dry fruits
- Stay Active: Regular physical activity, like brisk walking or sports, can boost thyroid function.
- Manage Stress: Practice relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga to reduce stress.
