Thyroid Detox - 5 Ways to Gently Detox for Better Thyroid Function
Thyroid detox is one way that you can naturally improve your thyroid to help manage your symptoms.
Whether you realize it or not, you are coming into contact with chemicals each and every day that have the ability to negatively impact thyroid function.
These chemicals are referred to as endocrine-disrupting chemicals and they can sit on the thyroid receptor on your cells and prevent your thyroid from doing its job.
Detoxing allows you to get rid of these chemicals more efficiently to help your thyroid function optimally. And that's exactly what we are going to talk about today.
We are going to discuss 5 ways that you can naturally improve the detoxification systems that exist in your body.
By augmenting these systems you can help eliminate toxins that may cause low thyroid symptoms.
These 5 areas include:
#1. Sweating.
Improve how much you sweat by using a sauna or by exercising.
#2. Lymphatic drainage.
Enhance lymphatic drainage with dry brushing, exercising, muscle contraction, or massage.
#3. Liver health and liver function.
Enhance liver function through diet by eating cruciferous vegetables or sulfur containing foods, taking certain supplements like milk thistle, or by using spices such as turmeric and ginger.
#4. Gut health and bowel movements.
Improve gut function by focusing on thyroid function, by taking prokinetic supplements, or by taking vitamin C and magnesium citrate.
#5. Kidney function and urine.
Drink enough water every day to make sure that your urine runs clear!
Find out how you can naturally improve these systems to get around the fact that thyroid patients have a hard time with detoxification due to how the thyroid impacts how much you sweat and bowel movements.
