It is projected that one in seven adult Americans and 27 percent of women in the United States have low thyroid functions and signs of chronic thyroid disease, respectively. This figure is in part due to the function of the gland that is a sentinel.
The thyroid’s function is to help regulate metabolism and hormones, in addition to muscle control, temperature, bone maintenance, development, brain growth, digestion, energy, hunger, and heart function, and much more. These mechanisms mean that when something wrong goes on within the body, the thyroid gland will show signs of function as it will become fatigued with trying to regulate a failing system. This is the reason why thyroid disease is so common.
The thyroid gland is a small”H” shaped organ that sits at the bottom of your neck. Although this gland is no bigger than a walnut, it’s a tremendous impact on your body. If your thyroid gland isn’t working correctly, producing thyroid hormone, you can experience painful symptoms.
Factors that can contribute to Thyroid Disease:
- Stress
- Environmental toxins
