Bromine, commonly found in breads and soft drinks like Gatorade and Mountain Dew, is not only harmful to thyroid function but can also contribute to aggressive behavior and gastrointestinal problems. Chlorine, fluoride and bromine all belong to the same chemical family (halogens) as iodine, which is the key mineral for the thyroid. They compete with iodine and interfere with hormone production.

It's amazing how many health problems as well as weight management problems can be attributed to an improperly functioning thyroid. Here's a simple test to check your thyroid function: Take your forearm temperature on five different mornings. To do this, put a thermometer by your bed tonight. Immediately after waking up, place it under your arm for 10 minutes (before moving or getting out of bed). Do this for 5 consecutive days. If the average temperature is below 97.8°C, you should see a doctor who understands how the thyroid works in a deficient state and seek treatment. A healthy thyroid can make a HUGE difference in your life!
The list of symptoms that can result from an abnormally functioning thyroid is extensive. Here are some of the symptoms associated with an underactive thyroid: Constant fatigue; Muscle stiffness in the morning, morning dizziness/nausea, motion sickness, wrinkled/swollen skin, heart palpitations, nighttime cough/cramps, pulse less than 65, outer 1/3 eyebrow thin, bothered by cold weather, poor concentration, ringing ears, insomnia, poor memory, lack of motivation, morning headache, heart palpitations after bedtime, neuralgia, constipation, difficulty losing weight and cold sweat.
To support your thyroid, get plenty of iodine, trace elements, calcium and magnesium. It is also very important to reduce your stress. Good ways to do this include exercise, yoga, meditation, listening to your favorite music, and basically taking time to take care of yourself daily. A good healthy diet consisting of fresh vegetables, a good source of protein and a limited amount of grains.
