“Whether it is hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, it is auto-immune. Which means the body’s own immune system goes on a drive against its own tissues. Why does that happen? It is the stress, worry, anxiety, the diet, pollution all together at play. So, do everything to take care of that stress and worry, and you will see your immune system cooperating and protecting your tissues”.
Dr. Kumar also gave some tips to keep the thyroid healthy. She captioned it as, “Consuming a balanced diet, sleeping well, giving your body adequate time to relax and continuing to take your medications as advised by your doctor.” Thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland, which is a tiny organ found in the front of the neck, visually covering over the windpipe or trachea. The thyroid, similar to other glands in the body, produces hormones called thyroxine that assist in governing many critical processes of the body, the most important of which is it increases metabolic rate and regulates growth and development.
If the thyroid gland is not working correctly, it might have a negative influence on the overall health. Hyperthyroidism is caused when the body produces too much thyroid hormone, whereas hypothyroidism is caused when the body produces very little thyroid hormone. A healthcare professional may give you more advice on this. However, according to Dr Kumar, it is critical to adopt certain lifestyle changes in order to stay healthy.
