Hypothyroidism And Weight Loss

If there's one term that gets thrown around the most these days I'm quite sure it would be weight loss. It doesn't seem to matter where you look, whether it be in the latest magazine or in the advertisement on the TV, it seems everyone wants to help you lose weight. With such bold claims as "the quickest way to lose weight", " lose your gut now" and how about " revolutionary weight-loss method". Unfortunately it takes a little more than a glossy magazine page to get the results you need. Some of the weight loss programmes and supplements on the market though do work or they simply wouldn't exist.

The idea of this particular article is to look at one sole cause of not being able to shed the pounds, an increasingly common disease called hypothyroidism. This disease if you have it can have a direct affect on you trying to lose weight, as it can actually cause you to rapidly gain weight for no apparent reason. I will also look point out some of the other symptoms associated with it. While hypothyroidism does indeed affect a large number of people, it may not be the only reason you cant slim down.

It would not be right of me not to point out the obvious that the food you eat does have a direct impact on your body, whether it be in the form of weight, muscle or the amount of energy that you have. What this means is that even if you are hypothyroid you really do need to monitor what you eat to get results. And of course regular light exercise goes a long way, even if it is just walking. Of course you if you do have a deficiency in the body it will make it increasingly difficult to notice results. If you believe you may be suffering from hypothyroidism then you should know what the symptoms are.

Even a doctor can have a difficult time diagnosing this disease. The reason for this is that nearly all of the symptoms will be associated with other diseases. While the main symptom we are looking at is unexpected weight gain or the inability to lose weight some of the others can include; stiffness or cramping in the joints and muscles, decreased libido, in women a heavier than normal period, depression and even hair loss. While depression is on this list it can be the cause of having any number of those symptoms.

Well over 25 million adults and children are currently affected by an under active or irregular thyroid gland. Women seem to be the majority of the sufferers, but everyone is at risk including your dog. It may not be a bad idea to ask family members if they have ever been affected as hypothyroidism is also hereditary.

I am sure you are reading this because yourself or someone you know is currently having problems losing weight effectively, and I'm glad to say there could be help available. There is an increasingly popular herbal supplement called Thyromine which is currently helping a large number of people with this battle. Thyromine is an all natural supplement created with the most potent ingredients are available specifically designed to target hypothyroidism. I would firstly encourage you to consult a health professional as well as to find out more information about this, but it could be the help you need.
