Do you know how to help your thyroid work faster and more efficiently?
The secret to sustainable weight loss is to speed up your metabolism, not to slow it down. And to boost your metabolism you need a healthy functioning thyroid.
The 7 best foods to Help your thyroid 
- Sea vegetables like kelp (seaweed) because they contain iodine which is critical for making thyroid hormone.

- Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of zinc which helps your cells activate your thyroid hormones.
- Spinach is rich in minerals like magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc which are all essential for optimal thyroid hormone production.
- Prawns and scallops have omega 3 oils and vitamin B12 but mostly they are a rich source of iodine if you don’t like the taste of seaweed.
- Cashews are loaded with copper, magnesium, and zinc. Important minerals if you want to boost a sluggish thyroid.
