A Healthy Body

Most women love pampering themselves. The common trends followed are visiting a beauty parlour to look good, go on diets to shed unwanted fat, exercise to get fit etc. Very few actually go out of their way to protect their Thyroid. Of course, once a problem manifests, the medication and the subsequent tests put it on the radar. However, I am talking about pre-empting a Thyroid problem before it even takes hold of a person.

Recent tests have found that a chemical called phthalates and bisphenol-A (BPA) commonly found in solvents, plastics, linings of canned foods and various household products may alter the level of Thyroid hormones in the body. This eventually disrupts the reproduction and metabolism of a woman. The greater the exposure, the lower the Thyroid hormone level. One my friend, who works at cleaning service surrey, was not able to get pregnant. After analysis it was found that it was due to her improper thyroid level.

While this finding is quite recent and based on urine samples, researchers concluded that more tests are required on patients over a period of time and emphasized the need to collect several samples as these chemicals tend to metabolize quickly. A single sample may not represent the true chemical exposure. They also stated that developing foetuses and children might be particularly susceptible to disruptions in Thyroid hormone levels.

I would definitely emphasize that it is better to be safe than sorry. If you have options then stay away from plastics as much as you can. Particularly stuff we use in our everyday life like plastic bottles and canned food. Take care of your body and your Thyroid before a problem occurs.
