Random But Useful Nutrition Fact #32

Iodine is a powerful mineral. As some of you may know, the US began iodizing salt in the 20s because iodine deficiency was becoming a problem. Not only does iodine support thyroid health, it super oxygenates the blood. Higher oxygen levels in the blood can help increase respiratory function, support immune health, increase vitality, and most importantly...prevent cancer. Cancer cannot live in an oxygenated environment. So how do you get iodine in your diet? Aside for iodized salts, fish, himalayan pink salt, beans, potatoes, cranberries and seaweed are iodine rich sources. Try incorporating one of these into your diet each day. #iodine #nutrition #theelevatednutritionist
