Thyroid

The thyroid gland runs the metabolism of the body. Maintaining balanced thyroid levels is critical for your overall well-being. The following are common symptoms of low thyroid levels:

• Inability to lose weight (despite dieting and exercising)
• Cold hands and feet
• Dry skin
• Mild depression, mood swings and irritability
• Chronic fatigue (despite plenty of sleep)
• Constipation
• Brittle finger nails
• Loss of hair
• Forgetfulness
• Anxiety

If you have several of the above symptoms, your risk of imbalanced thyroid levels is increased. Many medical studies now show that low thyroid levels almost always equate to high cholesterol. By bringing thyroid to an optimal level, cholesterol levels normalize.
