The Thyroid is a gland in the neck that produces hormones responsible for regulating metabolism in the body.
Thyroid problems occur when there is either too much or too little production of these hormones. Some common thyroid problems include Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), and thyroid cancer.
Preventing thyroid problems involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Exercise regularly, eat a well-balanced diet, and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Screening for thyroid disease is also important, especially for individuals with a family history of thyroid diseases or those with symptoms such as unexplained weight changes, fatigue, or changes in heart rate.
Remember that prevention is better than cure, so take care of your thyroid health and your overall health to maintain a happy and healthy life.
