Discussion: Due to my diabetes, I gained extra weight; on examination, it turned out that I had hypothyroidism. The doctor recommended me a drug that contains iodine and selenium.

The thyroid gland controls our body's metabolic rate and, therefore, has, among other things, an effect on weight. Thyroid hormones contain iodine and selenium; preventing deficiency in essential thyroid minerals is advisable. At the same time, it is better to consume iodine and selenium from a natural source, which is also better absorbed. It is recommended to combine it with a natural diet of unprocessed food. Pink Himalayan salt is an available and convenient source of iodine, while Brazil nuts are an excellent source of selenium. (The main disadvantage is that it is an expensive nut)
