Exercise regularly. Regular moderate activity (in the fresh air) strengthens immunity.
Maintain a healthy weight.Drink plenty of water. Limit refined sugars and processed foods.
If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.
Get adequate sleep. 7-9 hours a day, crucial for the regeneration of immune cells.
Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands frequently and cooking meats thoroughly.
Don’t forget the helpers – food supplements, that the Lifestyles company offers you.
Try to minimise stress. Try Hardening: Can improve immunity and resilience.
Those who had regular sex ( with a loved one) twice a week, were found to have higher levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in their saliva. (IgA is one of the five major classes of human antibodies, which is widely released on the mucosal surface and plays an important role in protection against microorganisms.
The goal is harmony, not “switching” the immune system to higher performance, which can lead to autoimmune reactions.
Nowadays, when, among other pitfalls, we have to responsibly approach various regulations, we should really be aware of one fact that we talk about in our posts, webinars. By this we mean the fact that there is only one difference between those who will get through the disease “without losing a flower”, that is, those who are prepared, and those who will have to be treated because their immune system was not strong enough, prepared and the body’s defences failed. We are talking about an immune system that needs to be strengthened, stimulated, built. Our immune system is waging a systematic war against these invaders that is more exciting than any movie thriller or television report.
Strong immunity is key to fighting infections and is achieved through a combination of a healthy diet (vitamins C, D, E, zinc, a variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts), enough sleep, regular exercise in the fresh air, hydration, stress management and care for the gut microbiome. Natural supplements such as echinacea, ginger, turmeric, garlic or herbal teas are also important, but always in accordance with a balanced lifestyle.
In one study, 112 Canadian soldiers living in the same extreme conditions were given 1 gram of vitamin C daily. The number of colds decreased by 68% compared to the control group, which did not receive vitamin C.
Two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling calculated that the diet of prehistoric man contained about 40 times more vitamin C than our diet today. That’s more than 3 grams of vitamin C a day.
Aspirin used in colds increases the excretion of vitamin C from the body tenfold.
Refined sugar paralyzes white blood cells, so it destroys them, so white blood cells lose their mobility and their functionality.
No wonder infection can easily overwhelm us today. Don’t forget the helpers – food supplements, that the Lifestyles company offers you.
Healthy tips to strengthen your immune system
Hygiene: Frequent hand washing, covering your mouth when coughing/sneezing.
Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables.Whole grain products, legumes, apples, onions, garlic.
Exercise regularly. Regular moderate activity (in the fresh air) strengthens immunity.
Maintain a healthy weight.Drink plenty of water. Limit refined sugars and processed foods.
If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.
Get adequate sleep. 7-9 hours a day, crucial for the regeneration of immune cells.
Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands frequently and cooking meats thoroughly.

Don’t smoke.
Bacteria and viruses multiply explosively. Thus, from a few individuals, a huge number of millions of pathogens can be present within a few hours. Therefore, at the moment of attack, our body begins to explosively produce millions of immune cells.
However, for this, the immune cell factory needs building materials:
A/ Proteins. If there are few of them, he pulls them out of the muscles and our muscles lose weight (which weakens us). Protein consumption increases by up to 30%. Plant proteins (eg legumes) are ideal because animals multiply the work of the immune system and thus overload it at a critical moment. Complete proteins contain all 20 amino acids. Eight of these amino acids are called “essential amino acids”, which the organism cannot produce on its own, and it is therefore really important to supplement them regularly!
B/B vitamins to control the construction of immune cells. In the absence of vitamin B, the immune system does not produce sufficient striking power (there will not be enough lymphocytes and macrophages).
C/ Vitamin C. We also need a sufficient supply of vitamin C to “fill” new white blood cells with it.
D/ The immune cell factory also needs selenium (increases lymphocyte stimulation, NK-cell activity, and increases the production of interferon, which stimulates defense) and zinc, which is necessary for DNA synthesis.
E/Plus needs vitamin E, which together with vitamin C “armors” cells against free radicals. So what to do in case of infections? Read the next chapter.

The term constipation usually refers to difficult emptying of hard stools, which is accompanied by unpleasant sensations. It is an extremely common disease and about 30% of the adult population suffers from it.
We have three types of constipation: atonic constipation, spastic constipation (psychogenic), and complete bowel obstruction (you need to get to the hospital immediately).
The Question:The stool must be every day?
A large majority of the population is convinced that the stool must be every day. Daily emptying (defecation) is not absolutely necessary, nor is it an indicator of correct or incorrect bowel function. Immunity and microflora are inextricably linked, as up to 70% of immune cells reside in the gut, and a healthy gut microflora (microbiome) “trains” the immune system, teaching it to distinguish between harmless and harmful substances, thereby protecting against infections, allergies and autoimmune diseases. Microbiome disorders (dysbiosis) lead to weakened immunity, inflammation and other health problems, which is why a varied diet rich in fiber, fermented foods, probiotics, prebiotics and minimizing stress are key.
The decisive factor is the regularity of defecation and the fact that it is a painless process.
If You like prevent constipation, drink enough water during day. You need to establish an adequate drinking regime. The Water is very important to our bodies. Our bodies are made up of 70% to 80% of water. There are many diseases you can prevent, if you drink enough water, around 4 to 6 glasses of water in a day. If you feel thirsty, drink.
Tip 2. Move. Do the exercises against constipation. Exercises can be performed when the patient is able to move. There is also a light abdominal massage, but carefully.You can also start practicing bandhas (yoga). A prerequisite for practicing bandhas is the regular and long-term practice of breathing techniques.
Tip 3. Restore the defecation reflex.
Tip 4. Change The Diet. Ensure adequate fiber, fluids, fat, and carbohydrates for atonic constipation or spastic constipation (psychogenic reasons). Start The Day with the porridge with milk, butter, cinnamon. It is easy to cook. Start with a small amount of flakes, follow a drinking regimen. You can add a banana.
Soak the flakes in water in the evening, pour water over them, cook for 2 minutes in the morning until the desired porridge consistency, add milk, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and add a piece of butter.
The Question
I am Taking antibiotics. I‘m constipated, is that bad?
How to restore intestinal microflora, when taking antibiotics?
Answer To The Question:
Addictive constipation is caused by the suppression of the defecation reflex.
This reflex is first extinguished by a lack of natural stimuli: a low-volume diet, a lack of fiber and fluids, little exercise. The second cause is the suppression of the spontaneous urge to defecate in a hurry). Never suppress a bowel movement!
Defecation reflex training
Practicing the defecation reflex is also important: the patient drinks a glass of water (saline mineral water) after waking up. He performs the usual morning activities in the same order every day and the morning ritual ends with breakfast. Defecation is attempted every 20-30 minutes, regardless of whether a spontaneous compulsion has occurred. This needs to be done with iron regularity daily for several weeks. Most of the time, success comes soon.
Stool is a need, not a leisure activity. …
Try flaxseed! Be careful you have to crush it first!
Try Probiotics and magnesium bisglycinate.
Add more Fiber.
Where to find fiber?
In addition to normal food, which should contain enough whole grain products (black bread and pastries, oatmeal), fruits and vegetables, you can add 10-25 g of linseed, wheat germ or bran. All this, of course, provided that there is sufficient supply of fluids. Sufficient exercise is also important, abdominal massages can also help.
If you are already taking Intra add Fiber Life. Beware, if you are starting with Fiber Life, drink a lot of liquid and start with one capsule a day between meals! Read more…
How microflora affects immunity? -Immunity trainer: Bacteria in the gut teach immune cells to recognise pathogens and respond to them without overreacting to harmless substances. -Protective barrier: Forms a physical and chemical barrier against pathogens entering the body. -Inflammation regulation: Helps maintain balance and prevents chronic inflammation and autoimmune reactions Substance production: Produces antimicrobial substances and helps with digestion.
What harms the microbiome (and immunity)? -Unbalanced diet, low in fiber. -Taking antibiotics (frequently). -Stress.
How to care for the microflora? -Diet: Eat lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes (fiber). -Fermented foods: Kefir, yogurt... -Probiotics: Dietary supplements with live cultures (ideally in combination with prebiotics). -Lifestyle: Get enough sleep, exercise, reduce stress. A healthy microbiome is the basis of strong immunity, which protects us from diseases and contributes to overall health. Tip. Start The Day with the porridge with milk, butter, cinnamon...

Without quality sleep, the body cannot rest properly, which results in reduced attention, fatigue, and impaired thinking. If sleep problems occur more frequently, a person is at risk of developing or worsening mental illnesses.
Basic advice for better sleep/Ways to Fall Asleep the Fastest
Go to bed at the same time whenever possible.
Lie down only when you are tired.
If possible, do not read in bed, avoid distractions from your smartphone, and under no circumstances work in bed.
Do not eat in bed. Digestion interferes with falling asleep smoothly.
Do not deal with anything serious in the evening. Leave that for daytime.
Try to talk about something pleasant instead, and choose simple topics.
Tidy up the bedroom, remove if possible the ticking alarm clock, TV, clutter, or anything that reminds you of unfinished work.
Ventilate before sleeping. You can also get fresh air on an evening walk – try to push yourself and take a 10–15 minute walk about an hour before bed. You will get just enough tired to fall asleep more easily.
Do not smoke or drink alcohol before bed.
Although a few beers may help you fall asleep, the sleep will be of lower quality and you will not wake up feeling rested.
Avoid daytime naps. If we have trouble falling asleep, we can try a simple activity and then return to bed and attempt to sleep again.
A person should sleep approximately 7 to 8.5 hours a day, while three-year-old children need about 12 hours. However, this duration is individual and changes throughout life. Some people need only five hours of sleep for full recovery, while others need more time. Sleep, however, must not only be sufficiently long but also deep enough and uninterrupted. Therefore, the quality of sleep is important. Sleep disorders can arise as a result of other illnesses, but they are also often caused by poor lifestyle and bad sleep habits. It is not always possible to determine the exact cause of sleep disorders.
The causes of insomnia can be stress and long-term psychological problems, worries, but also fatigue or poor lifestyle habits. Difficulty falling asleep can also be caused by strong tea, coffee, or alcohol in the evening hours. However, sleep problems can also signal the onset of serious illnesses (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or sleep apnea). Moreover, with increasing age, the level of the hormone melatonin in the human body decreases. This is a hormone produced at night by the pineal gland in the brain, which acts as a timer for biological rhythms. Among other things, it induces the onset of sleep.
Symptoms of Insomnia
Sleep disorders are divided into insomnia, increased sleepiness (hypersomnia), and other sleep disorders, such as nightmares (night terrors), sleepwalking, sleep apnea syndrome, or restless legs syndrome.Insomnia is a serious condition that affects about 10 to 15 percent of people. It manifests as difficulty falling asleep (taking longer than half an hour to fall asleep), frequent awakenings, waking up earlier than planned. Poor quality sleep at night then causes fatigue during the day, concentration problems, irritability and tension, loss of energy and susceptibility to mistakes, daytime sleepiness, and more.
Increased sleepiness manifests as excessive daytime sleepiness (a person sleeps more than 12 hours a day) and an inability to control falling asleep during the day. These problems affect approximately 5 percent of people. Sleep apnea syndrome is one of the most serious sleep disorders. It occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted for more than 10 seconds during sleep (apnea) or breathing is restricted for more than 10 seconds (hypopnea). In addition to apnea and hypopnea, symptoms include loud snoring, restless sleep without feeling refreshed, morning headaches, and microsleeps (short episodes of sleep) during the day. Interrupted or restricted breathing during sleep causes reduced blood flow to the brain. Short-term sleep deprivation and poor-quality sleep can lead to fatigue, irritability, poor concentration, and as a result, problems at work (or at school) and accidents. Chronic insomnia can trigger the development of serious heart, metabolic (diabetes), or brain diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. It may result in anxiety disorders and depression.
Treatment
For the treatment of insomnia, the first and foremost step is to adhere to proper sleep hygiene (see below). In cases of acute insomnia, for example due to stress, a doctor may prescribe medications known as hypnotics. Long-term insomnia, lasting months to years, is not suitable for treatment with these drugs, as even newer medications are not completely free of unwanted side effects.A specialist may also newly prescribe so-called melatonin hypnotics. Melatonin is a hormone that induces natural sleep, which provides the body with essential rest. However, careful consideration is needed when using the medication, because insomnia can sometimes be caused by other as-yet undiagnosed conditions that need to be treated. Therefore, the treatment of insomnia is different for each individual, and an improperly chosen treatment method could even harm the body.
Psychotherapy, acupuncture, or physical therapy (treatment with bright light, magnetotherapy) can also help relieve sleep problems. If insomnia is a symptom of other diseases or issues, the underlying condition is treated.
Medications
It is possible to administer medications from the so-called hypnotic group (both non-benzodiazepine and benzodiazepine), and if anxiety is part of the problem, anxiolytics (soothing medications to reduce anxiety) are given. Circadian rhythm disorders (disruption of the sleep-wake cycle) are treated with melatonin, a hormone naturally produced in the human body that normally induces sleep.
Herbs
Sleep induction can be aided by teas or tea blends containing lemon balm, valerian, or hops. Drops or tablets with these herbs are also available.
Homeopathy
Cocculus indicus is suitable for insomnia caused by physical and mental exhaustion. Stramonium is the main homeopathic remedy for insomnia caused by nightmares. Nux vomica is the remedy for managers. They fall asleep in the evening but wake up during the night and cannot fall back asleep. They wake up around 3–4 a.m. with an active mind and only manage to sleep again in the early morning. Upon waking, they feel tired, reluctant to get up, and very irritable.
Home treatment and self-help When treating insomnia, practicing sleep hygiene is important.
The method used by American soldiers
Most of us have surely experienced lying in bed for hours without being able to fall asleep. Stress, a hectic lifestyle, or an uncomfortable environment can prevent restful sleep. American soldiers, for example, could tell stories about this. Due to the nature of military service and the environment, it is difficult for many members to fall asleep, which is why a method was developed that offers an effective solution. The method used by American soldiers, known as the “2-Minute Sleep Technique,” allows soldiers to fall asleep almost immediately, even in the most demanding conditions.
Step by Step: How to Do It?
Start by lying down comfortably. Relax all the muscles in your body, beginning with your face. Relax your forehead, cheeks, jaw, and tongue. Let all tension leave your face. Move on to your shoulders and slowly let them drop down. Next, relax your hands and fingers. Just let them rest beside your body. Also, relax your chest and abdomen. With each exhale, imagine the tension in your body dissolving. Then relax your thighs, knees, and calves. Finally, focus on your feet and toes. According to a 2017 study, this relaxing process helps release tension and stress that prevent peaceful sleep.
But also focus on your breathing. Breathe slowly and deeply, because slow and deep breathing, according to a 2019 study, also releases tension in the body and relieves stress. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Try to focus only on your breathing and ignore all the thoughts that come to mind. If something distracts you, return to your breathing.If you still can’t fall asleep, imagine calming scenarios. For example, picture yourself lying in a quiet boat on a lake. All around you is silence and tranquility. Or simply choose a place where you feel best and are alone. Imagining these calming scenarios, according to a 2023 study, soothes the mind and helps achieve relaxation.
If various thoughts keep running through your mind, try to stop them. Say ‘no’ or ‘stop’ to yourself and focus on calm. Create a mental space where no worries, stress, or obligations exist.The whole process takes a total of 120 seconds, but the last 10 seconds are enough for you to finally fall asleep.
TIPS. Just like with any skill, the more you practice the technique of falling asleep, the easier it will be for you to use it. Try to use this method every evening as part of your sleep ritual.Maintain a calm environment. Creating a pleasant and peaceful environment is crucial for the success of this technique. Use curtains or blackout blinds to prevent disruptive light from entering the room. Keep the room at a comfortable temperature, ideally between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius. Consider using earplugs or white noise to mask unwanted sounds.Set a routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. This will help regulate your internal biological clock. Before sleeping, engage in activities that calm you, such as reading, listening to music, or meditating. Avoid stimulating activities, such as watching action movies or working on the computer.
Limit stimulants. Caffeine and nicotine negatively affect your sleep. Try to avoid these stimulants for at least a few hours before bedtime. This also applies to alcohol, which may help you fall asleep faster but disrupts the quality of your sleep.Be patient. Don’t expect the technique to become effective overnight. Every person is different, and some people may take longer to get used to new methods. If you cannot fall asleep immediately, don’t despair. Continue practicing and observe how your ability to fall asleep improves day by day.
Insomnia, frequent awakenings, nervousness, this could be covid or post-covid syndrome?Limit or completely stop the intake of sugar in food, we mean sweets. Increase your intake of whole grain rye flour.
Every person is unique, which is why Covid can manifest itself differently in the infected person. It also depends on the course of the disease. For the most part, the symptoms of Covid-19 are similar to a common flu infection.Approximately 20% of people infected with the coronavirus do not experience any symptoms, but these people can still be infectious and spread the infection to their surroundings. According to current knowledge, up to 59% of these transmissions can be from asymptomatic individuals. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out regular testing and then follow the prescribed isolation.
The most common symptoms of Covid are:
Temperature 37.3°C and above
Cough
Fatigue
Difficulty breathing
Pain in the neck, head, back, muscles or joints
Loss of taste or smell
Different types of skin rash (electrified skin)
Skin color changes on the fingers or toes (‘covid toes’)
Diarrhea.
Nausea or vomiting.
Please, let your doctor know as soon as COVID symptoms start so they can advise and monitor you. It is important to get tested if you have any COVID symptoms. Symptoms of the omicron variant disease
Omikron usually attacks much more of the upper respiratory tract, so it does not result in severe pneumonia and associated breathing problems. The other symptoms are very similar to the previous variants, although they are usually milder. The president of the South African Medical Association, Angelique Coetzee, in an interview with Reuters, said that the omicron mutation is most often manifested:
Extreme fatigue (1 to 2 days), headaches, and a dry cough. Quite often, however, there is also an asymptomatic course of the disease.
Symptoms of a more serious course of covid
Shortness of breath – a person experiences significant breathing problems. He is short of breath during normal activities, even when moving around the house or going to the toilet. A feeling of suffocation may also occur.
Loss of appetite
Confusion
Persistent chest pain or pressure
High temperature – above 38 °C
Young sick and ill man in bed holding tissue cleaning snotty nose having temperature feeling bad infected by winter grippe virus in flu and influenza health care concept.
Other less common symptoms of covid:
Irritability Confusion Decreased level of consciousness – may be associated with seizures Anxiety
Depression
Sleep Disorders
More serious neurological complications – stroke, encephalitis, delirium and nerve damage The mentioned difficulties are certainly not worth underestimating. If you experience any of the above symptoms of covid-19 (or a combination of several symptoms), contact your general practitioner by phone, who will inform you of the next course of action.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most patients with covid-19 recover relatively easily without the need for hospitalization. In such a case, the general practitioner prescribes individual supportive treatment, during which you should observe isolation, bed rest and have a sufficient supply of fluids. Approximately 15% of those infected face a moderately severe course of the disease and require the supply of oxygen. Around 5% of those infected end up in critical condition and need intensive medical care. According to experience so far, it appears that a greater number of symptoms in the first days may be related to a more severe course of covid.
Pay particular attention to shortness of breath. If you start to get short of breath even while talking and doing normal activities, this is a sign that your blood oxygen levels are low. If the condition worsens dramatically, do not wait for anything and contact the emergency service
Post-covid syndrome (long covid)
Even a few months after recovering from covid, some people may experience quite serious health problems. Professor Nyarie Sithole from the Faculty of Clinical Medicine of the University of Cambridge told TV 24 that about 10% of people who have experienced covid-19 suffer from post-covid syndrome.
Patients turn to doctors with post-covid syndrome even 3 or more months after experiencing covid. Based on the available data, no link between the severe course of the disease and persistent health problems has yet been proven. Nyarie Sithole, on the other hand, claims that they have seen many patients who had a mild course, recovered from covid in a few days, and yet they subsequently gradually developed post-covid syndrome. Although it is widely believed that the elderly and sick are more prone to these problems, in reality post-covid syndrome does not escape even young people in good health.
Symptoms of post-covid syndrome
Since the beginning of the pandemic, experts have already noted more than 200 different symptoms of post-covid syndrome, which also comes in waves and changes over time.
The most common symptoms of post-covid syndrome include:
Fatigue (the person can’t even do basic housework)
Brain fog (impaired concentration, memory problems, difficulty finding words, etc.)
Shortness of breath (breathlessness even with minimal activity)
Pain in the chest heartbeat
Migrating joint and muscle pains abdominal pain and headache
Insomnia and impaired sleep.
TIP. Insomnia, frequent awakenings, nervousness, this could be post-covid syndrome?Limit or completely stop the intake of sugar in food, we mean sweets. Increase your intake of whole grain rye flour.
For now, there is not enough information and professional studies about the post-covid syndrome to be able to summarize all the effects on human health. But Nyarie Sithole says that based on studies with related coronaviruses, at least 90% of people with post-covid syndrome can be expected to fully recover within 12 months. If you suspect post-covid syndrome, see your GP. He will carry out the necessary examinations and may also send you to an X-ray of the lungs, regular blood tests or to an appropriate specialist.
What works for long covid / post covid syndrome?
Early studies show that certain dietary supplements can help in the treatment of post-covid syndrome, which is characterized by high and chronic fatigue. Dietary supplements containing vitamins B, C and D have proven to be effective. Rest and Drink Fluids. Protect Others.
How is Covid showing up today?
Common symptoms of the disease include: Temperature 37.3°C and above. Cough. Difficulty breathing. Pain in the neck, head, back, muscles or joints
What medicines to take for coronavirus?
Paracetamol. For fever, choose either medicines containing paracetamol (known for example as Paralen, Panadol, etc.) or with the active substance ibuprofen (for example Ibalgin, Brufen, Nurofen). Paxlovid, Molnupiravir, and Monoclonal Antibodies for individals only.Dose the medicine correctly!!
How to treat yourself at home with Covid?
Protect Others. Recovery time can range from a few days to more than two weeks for severe cases. The infected person should stay in a separate, well-ventilated room and at the same time limit movement around the apartment and in common areas. In case of necessary contact with other household members, it is recommended to keep a distance of two meters, if they not were already sick with Covid-19( the usage of the respirators is essential) . Recovery time can range from a few days to more than two weeks for severe cases.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease. GERD occurs when stomach acid or, occasionally, stomach content, flows back into your esophagus because your lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is not closing as it should. The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD. Both acid reflux and heartburn are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time. When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life, you may have GERD.
Avoid fatty and spicy foods.
In small amounts, you might be able to continue eating them for a treat, but as a regular part of your diet, you need to cut them out.
Fried foods, particularly deep-fried
Foods with lots of chiles or hot peppers
Creamy, buttery, or dairy-heavy foods
Stay away from alcohol and caffeine.
Neither substance is easy for your body to process. They also tend to dry out your mouth, which is bad for saliva production. Saliva helps your body break down and process your food.[
You can have a drink of alcohol or coffee occasionally, but keep track of how you feel afterward — if it exacerbates your symptoms you should probably try to never drink either.
Steer clear of acidic foods.
Acid reflux and heartburn can both be exacerbated by the acid in your diet. Unfortunately, they are common in many diets. Some of the common acidic foods to avoid are:[
Citrus fruits
Tomatoes
Cocoa products (chocolate-based)
Strawberries, although not super acidic, also exacerbate GERD symptoms.
Choose healthy foods. A varied diet of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats will help keep GERD at bay. Check the website below for help planning healthy meals.[ Some good choices include:
Berries
Apples
Leafy greens
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower
Whole grains like oatmeal, farro, quinoa, wild rice

The thyroid gland is a small, inconspicuous organ that plays a vital role in maintaining your physical and mental health. The thyroid gland controls almost every cell in the body. Getting your thyroid checked early can save your life.
Approximately 200 million people worldwide suffer from some form of thyroid disease. The two most common are hypothyroidism (reduced activity of the thyroid gland) and hyperthyroidism (excessive activity of the thyroid gland), with women, affected ten times more often than men.
About 15% of women develop thyroid problems during their lifetime. Difficulties very often come with pregnancy or during menopause.
The most common condition worldwide is hypothyroidism, symptoms of which usually include fatigue, feeling cold, muscle weakness, and unexplained weight gain. In reality, however, the consequences are even more serious.
“The thyroid gland controls almost every cell in the human body,” points out Cindy Samet, a professor of chemistry at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, who studies thyroid issues. “The thyroid gland can be said to be the main metabolic control center of the body. Brain, heart, and kidney function, as well as body temperature, growth, and muscle strength (and much more), are all at the mercy of thyroid function.”
The number of sick people is increasing.
The symptoms are alleviated by the mandatory iodization of edible salt in some countries, and therefore we no longer see goiter, which was a visible sign of problems with the thyroid gland.
How does the disease manifest itself?
Increased activity of the thyroid gland is accompanied by, for example, increased heart activity, high blood pressure, fatigue, weight loss, and psychological changes. But reduced activity doesn’t have to be so alarming. It manifests itself in fatigue, chills, swelling, shortness of breath, apathy, constipation, and sometimes joint pain, which many women (for example, during pregnancy or menopause) easily mistake for difficulties related to their condition and do not seek medical attention.
For example, according to the American Endocrinological Association, 60 percent of people with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition.
The number of patients with thyroid disease is increasing very rapidly. This is due both to the increase in the incidence of autoimmune diseases in the population and to the improvement and availability of diagnostics. Laboratory determination of thyroid hormone levels is today a basic and commonly available examination even in general practitioners’ clinics. A large proportion of patients with thyroid disease are detected as part of other tests, not for thyroid problems. In children, it is often an immunological examination due to repeated respiratory diseases, in adults, the finding on the thyroid gland is detected during an ultrasound examination of the vessels in the neck.
There are many causes of the disease.
The most common cause of thyroid disease is an autoimmune process that damages the thyroid gland and it can lead to a malfunction of the thyroid gland, to a change in its size or structure.
Why the number of autoimmune diseases, including the involvement of endocrine glands, is increasing so much is another complicated question. Once common in the past, hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency is now a rare disease with widespread iodization of salt and is more likely to be a mild disorder in vegans or breastfeeding women. Even foods with a high “Strumigen content” (cabbage, horseradish) in large quantities can lead to reduced thyroid function.
Irradiation of the thyroid gland with radioactive radiation (external or radioiodine) is clearly a risk factor for the development of both reduced thyroid function and the most significant risk factor for the development of malignant tumors of the thyroid gland (irradiation of the neck for malignant tumors). Chemical substances in our environment also affect endocrine processes in the human body (lithium, phthalates). We still don’t know much about the cause of many other endocrine diseases.
Chronic stress also often affects the reduced function of the thyroid gland. Therefore, daily exercise and maintaining healthy relationships are also often recommended by experts, as both can also help the thyroid gland. Rest and at least seven hours of sleep are also important. But the thyroid gland is erratic. Her problems can negatively affect sleep. Depression, mood swings, and impaired ability to learn new things and to think in general are also frequent results.
It is not uncommon for people with hypothyroidism to end up in psychiatry. And it’s up to the doctor’s discretion whether to think of a possible thyroid connection. According to Medical News Today, hypothyroidism can also be responsible for anxiety, memory lapses, speech problems, and the development of so-called. pseudodementia. The paper states that 30-40 percent of sufferers suffer from an anxiety disorder at the same time.
What vitamins for the thyroid?
Thyroid inflammation is an autoimmune disease. As supportive therapy, it is advisable to take some of the vitamins whose levels decrease during this disease – selenium, zinc, antioxidants vitamin C, E, or omega-3 fatty acids. They reduce the formation of free radicals and thus prevent the development of inflammatory processes.
Limit the foods that are most harmful to the thyroid gland: Coffee.Sugar.Fried meals.Cruciferous vegetables.Gluten.Soya
Did you know that?
Thyroid disease or its treatment is never the main cause of obesity.
Thyroid disorders can develop over many years. An individual can live with the disease for a long time without realizing that the disorder affects them. Advanced is better recognized but more difficult to treat. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the disease at the earliest possible stage.
Pregnant and lactating women who have thyroid disease can take iodine. Only rarely do doctors not recommend iodine for women with Graves-Basedow disease or nodules.
After thyroid surgery and radioiodine, lifelong follow-up and usually lifelong thyroxine therapy are required.
A puncture of the thyroid gland is a painless examination because a thinner needle is used and the puncture takes a few seconds.
Examination – a puncture of the thyroid gland can lead to a rapid diagnosis and improve the prognosis of patients.
In stabilized patients with hypothyroidism, the dose of thyroxine is the same throughout the year – it does not make sense to adjust doses depending on the time of year.
If the Thyroid surgery operation is performed in a workplace with sufficient experience, it has a minimum of complications.
If thyroid disease is treated correctly, the symptoms of hyper- or hypothyroidism will gradually disappear, although this can sometimes take several months.
A rich source of iodine, for example, is the seaweed Kelp ( Fucus vesiculosus) – you can add it to food or take its extract in tablets. Iodine is naturally also found in marine fish.
TIP. Try Nutria Plus. Nutria Plus contains selenium, which is found in organic form in this product. This is because it is highly absorbable and usable by the body. Selenium, like iodine, is an important substance for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. Best together with INTRA HERBAL JUICE.
The following is a complete breakdown of the active ingredients found in Nodule Control. It includes their relevance to thyroid disease, mechanisms of action, and a review of supportive research.
Selenium
A recent clinical trials
In a recent clinical trial, the combination of inositol and selenium was tested for its ability to reduce the mass of thyroid nodules. A total of 642 patients were evaluated for nodules. The average age of the patients was 41 and roughly 90% were female. Of them, 333 were randomly assigned to treatment with inositol and selenium or usual therapy.
Selenium is essential for nearly all facets of thyroid function including iodine regulation, cell proliferation, and regulation of free radicals within thyroid follicles.
Inositol
Inositol is a natural occurring sugar that is a conditionally essential nutrient. It has been shown to help regulate cell proliferation, morphogenesis, and glucose regulation
Spirulina
Spirulina is a rich source of the antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) which is one of the endogenous antioxidants that allows for normal thyroid cell replication.
The thyroid cells are exposed to high amounts of free radical damage from the formation of iodine and its attachment to thyroglobulin.
Unchecked free radical formation can lead to DNA damage that can result in the abnormal cell growth behind nodule formation and thyroid cancer.
Boswellia
Boswellia is a tree resin with antiinflammatory effects which block NFkB pathways and normalize the activity of regulatory and effector T cells.
Turmeric
Turmeric has been shown to benefit oxidative pathways involved with nodule formation such as IL-6, hs-CRP, and MDA.
In a double blinded human clinical trial, the combination of spirulina, boswellia, and turmeric was tested for its ability to reduce thyroid nodules.
In the study, adult patients with thyroid nodules were given a combination of the three nutrients or a placebo over the period of 6 weeks. Thyroid ultrasounds to evaluate nodule size were performed at the beginning of the study, after 6 weeks, and after 12 weeks.
Of those taking the nutrient combination, over 85% showed a significant decrease to the size of their thyroid nodules. The average reduction in nodule size for those on the active treatment ranged from 0.6 to 0.9 cm2.
It was noted that the results are especially significant in light of the fact that the supplements were only administered for the first half of the study. They might have been even more pronounced had they been taken for the full 12 weeks.
