Question

Which type of nutrients should be included in diet of people living in hilly areas?

Answer 1

Iodine is the nutrient which should be included in the diet of people living in hilly areas.

People living in hilly areas are prone to a disease called goitre, caused by a deficiency of iodine.

So, it is necessary for people in hilly areas to eat food rich in Iodine.

Thyroid gland and parathyroid gland requires iodine to function well.

Answer 2

iodine is the nutrient which is required by the people of hilly areas ..and it should be included in thier diets because the hilly regions lack in iodine so the people living there are prone to a disease named goitre caused by deficiency of iodine .......and goitre is caused because the thyroid gland and the parathyroid gland require iodine as thier main indegredient to prepare a hormone named thyroxine ...and lack of iodine causes swelling of this gland leading to goitre ..........so iodine is required for this reason.......
