Weight Loss Treatment Advices

Archive for the ‘Hypothyroidism’ Category

It is medically recognized that the main purpose of thyroid hormone in human body is to run the metabolism. Human body requires sufficient amount (neither too high nor too low) of thyroid hormone for optimal metabolism. Excessively high or low amount of thyroid hormone results in two different health conditions. When the amount is too high, ‘overactive’ metabolism will ensue. On the other hand, when the amount is too low, body’s metabolism will be ‘underactive’.

Thyroid hormone deficiency is technically known as hypothyroidism. There are generally two common causes of this underactive thyroid. The first is prolonged thyroid gland inflammation that may deplete thyroid cells in such a way that the cells are incapable of producing sufficient hormone. The second cause of hypothyroidism is medical treatment that requires removal of some or all parts of thyroid gland through surgical procedures. There are also some uncommon health conditions that warrant radioactive iodine therapy, which may kill or damage considerable number of cells.

There are some common symptoms of hypothyroidism whose number and severity may vary from an individual to another. They include fatigue, weakness, weight gain, dry hair, pale and dry skin, hair loss, cold intolerance, constipation, irritability, and some other symptoms. However, since such symptoms may also be found in other health conditions, they can be mistakenly diagnosed as other condition. Therefore, a patient with two or more of the symptoms is recommended to see a physician for a thorough examination.

If you can not lose weight (… and you think you should have gone down because of the things I’ve tried to lose weight) may be suffering from hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism is a condition where you have a slow metabolism because the thyroid gland is inactive. Your thyroid gland controls your metabolism and one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism is the inability to lose weight.

“Not being able to lose weight” is not the only sign that tells you that you have hypothyroidism … But other symptoms you can look before you say that you have hypothyroidism are:

• Inadequate weight gain
• You feel cold when others feel hot
• You feel exhausted, clumsy, lethargic
• Your hair and skin is rough and dry, brittle, fragile and falling apart.
• You have swelling and swelling around the eyes and face
• Do you have aches, pains in joints, hands and feet
• Often feel depressed
• You’re upset all the time
• Mood swings easily
• You have difficulty concentrating
• You seem to have lost interest in normal daily activities

Please treat hypothyroidism in 2 ways:

1. You can take natural supplements like Thyromine to improve your thyroid function to be able to lose weight again, and while taking Thyromine you can eat foods that help your thyroid as seaweed, kelp, edible red seaweed, garlic, radishes, seafood, watercress, egg yolks, fungi, yeast, and you should avoid foods like cabbage, peanuts, pine nuts, turnip, mustard, cassava and millet. The versions of these are well cooked.
2. Another option is the expensive medical treatment. Your doctor will take a blood test to see if you suffer from hypothyroidism. If you have an underactive thyroid, you will be treated with a synthetic thyroid supplement, which will need to take for the rest of your life.
