Adopt These 6 Life Changes to Help Control Your Hypothyroidism

By Toni Spinks

Sometimes, we have to make changes in our lives, to ensure good health and to help with conditions we may be faced with. Can be challenging at times, but here are some suggestions if you or your loved ones are faced with Hypothyroidism.
1. Heavy metals
Heavy metals enter into the body easily from various forms of metal pollution such as radiation exposure from hi-tech gadgets (television, microwaves, and cell phones), mercury amalgam dental fillings, tap water and exposure to polluted environments. If you suspect that you have heavy metal toxicity or simply want to change your life, you must get rid of all toxins in your living environment.
It is very important to detoxify your home. Studies have linked ingredients in various household products to cancer, asthma, hormone disruption, neurotoxicity, and reproductive disorders. Therefore, routine exposure to these ingredients increases our risk for these diseases and health complications. You can easily change your approach to cleaning using simple ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar and borax. Other ingredients such as lavender and tea tree have great antiseptic properties which makes the highly effective for freshening up your floors, shower, toiler and countertops.
2. Alkalize your body
The human body needs to maintain a pH of 7.4 in order to function optimally. However, our standard diet that mainly comprises animal protein, sugars, gluten, processed foods, dried foods, foods grown with pesticides and hormones are very acidic. An alkaline diet that is rich in supplements like chlorophyll, and chlorella such as organic vegetables, smoothies and green juices support strong digestive and immune health, which is also in line with a hypothyroid diet. For instance, you can have a green juice every day or simply drink lemon water daily to stimulate peristalsis and the gastrointestinal tract.
3. Use organic beauty products
Everything you put on your skin is either assimilated into the body or eliminated. Most perfumes and chemical creams burden your body heavily because they contain various hormone mimicking chemicals that interfere with natural human hormones that can cause many health problems.
4. Physical activity
Besides cleansing your body, physical activity relieves stress and restores balance to your hormones. However, it is important to find psycho-physical activities that suit you in order to relieve accumulated stress. Some of the best forms of exercise include meditation, mini trampoline jumping, walking or jogging (in nature: mountains, forests, along lakes, rivers and the beach), rowing, photo-safari, golf, Chi gong, Tai Chi, Meditation, Martial arts (judo, kung fu, karate, and Aikido), and yoga (Chinese yoga and Hatha). Other healthy activities include aerobics, dancing, stretching, gymnastics, swimming and weight lifting.
5. Sweating
Sweating is a very powerful way of cleansing your body. Examples of activities that stimulate a lot of sweating include sauna, exercising with heavy clothes and eating cayenne pepper. Some industrial pesticides and toxins can only be eliminated through the sweat glands.
6. Dietary changes
For a recommended hypothyroid diet, eat a clean diet of real, whole foods that consist of food that is organically grown without any pesticides and hormones. On the other hand, you should avoid processed foods and foods that contain refined sugar. Focus on incorporating fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts into your diet in order to get energy naturally without any unnecessary cravings. For instance, you can challenge yourself to a few weeks of plant based diet that is gluten free and contains no alcohol or caffeine. Adhering to a hyperthyroidism diet will make you feel more radiant, less fatigued and lighter!
Breathing deeply clears your lungs, relaxes the body and also helps the mind to focus in order to let go of stress. Stress interferes greatly with digestion and immunity. So relieving stress, perhaps by including meditation and yoga into your daily routine - is very beneficial to the body.
Help yourself to bring back wellness and balance into your life.
