It is advisable for us to use iodide salts for the proper functioning of our Thyroid glands.

Explanation:

  • The common salt or the table salt that we use is simply made up of Sodium Chloride, but in this Sodium or Potassium iodide is added.
  • This small quantity of iodine is needed by our body for the proper functioning of thyroid glands.
  • The inadequate amount of iodine in our diet can lead to iodine deficiency which causes the swelling of the thyroid glands and this disease is called as goitre.
  • Thyroid glands play active role in controlling the temperature of our body, blood pressure, heart rate, etc. So, the proper functioning of thyroid gland is essential for a healthy body.
  • Apart from the common salt, sea food are also a very good source of iodine.
  • About 3 grams or half a teaspoon of salt is said to be enough for meeting our daily requirements of iodine.\
