Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) affects every cell and all the organs in your body by: Regulating the rate at which your body uses calories (energy). This affects weight loss or weight gain and is called the metabolic rate. Slowing down or speeding up your heart rate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thyroid hormones and metabolism Your body needs iodine to make thyroid hormones. Most people get suitable amounts of iodine from their diet as it is found in most food, especially seafood. Small amounts of iodine are found in vegetables grown in soils containing iodine.
Detailed explanation-3: -Iodine is the critical ‘ingredient’ for the production of thyroid hormones. We don’t need a lot of iodine, but a daily and constant supply of this micronutrient is important. Too much iodine can cause problems with your thyroid gland as described above.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fatigue is a well-known and common symptom of thyroid disease. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can cause fatigue. In people with hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland is overactive and makes too much thyroid hormone, which can accelerate metabolism as well as heart rate. This can lead to fatigue.
