Do you know your great great great grandfather (and grandmother) who pursued a lifestyle of a hunter, didn’t really need to add a pinch of salt to their platter, to enjoy a delicacy? They got their share of salt from the animal meat, hunted and relished. It was only with the onset of agriculture and a change in diet, that they realised, the veggies boiled in salt (or sea water) satiated their pallets that were now accustomed to the salty flavor from the meat.
Ever wondered why the staple food of those living in extreme climatic conditions (hot and cold) was meat or sea food? Not just because the weather or soil was hostile towards agriculture, not just because the fat in the meat helped tolerate the climate… the deeper reason was that, the animal meat, sea weed and sea food are abundant in trace element – Iodine, vital for the health of your thyroid gland – the temperature regulator of your body.
Oh yes…the T3 and T4 in your blood test reports, evaluating the health of your thyroid gland, actually refers to three molecules of iodine and four molecules of iodine. When you are iodine deficient, your thyroid gland cannot do what it should, which is when your T3, T4 and TSH are all offthe graph. You begin to feel cold and exhausted when others don’t or you feel lethargic, brain fogged and unenthusiastic to even show up to work, even when your entire career is at stake.
