Managing hypothyroidism isn't just about taking medications. Its about eating well, staying active and taking the right nutrients in the form of food or supplements that could support thyroid hormone in the body. If your body doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone, certain vitamins and minerals may help. Let me tell you about them;

1 lodine rich foods - iodised salt, Milk and cheese, iodine fortified whole wheat flour Fish and Broad beans.
