Answer:
Your body uses iodine to make thyroid hormones. That's why an iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism, a condition in which the body can't make enough thyroid hormones. Luckily, deficiency is easy to prevent. Adding a dash of iodized salt to your main meals should help you meet your requirements.

What happens if I don’t get enough iodine?
Humans need iodine for normal thyroid function, and for the production of thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Iodine deficiency can lead to:
Goiter, a disease characterized by an abnormally enlarged thyroid gland.
Hypothyroidism, a health condition characterized by low metabolism, low body temperature, low heart rate, and sensitivity to cold.
What happens if I have too much iodine?
High levels of iodine from supplements can cause some of the same symptoms as iodine deficiency, including goiter.
High iodine intake can also cause thyroid gland inflammation and thyroid cancer.
Getting a very large dose of iodine (several grams, for example) can cause:
Burning of the mouth, throat, and stomach
Fever
Stomach pain
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Weak pulse
Coma
