Thanks for asking the question.
It is very important to have iodized salt in our diet because iodine in important for the synthesis of a hormone, called thyroxin. It is a very important hormone as it helps in metabolism, growth and development of body and brain.  Our body cannot produce thyroxin on its own, so iodine is needed for its production. 
Hope I helped.

Answer:

Iodine is needed by the thyroid gland for the production thyroxin hormone. This hormone regulates fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism in our body. If quantity of iodine in food is lesser than required, then the neck will swell up due to the enlargement of thyroid gland
