It's all very well to talk about eco-fitness and to discover inspiring ways to enjoy keeping fit. But what about those people who suffer from thyroid problems, will it help them? First, a trip to the doctor would be a good idea.
If you are one of those people who can honestly say you don't over-eat and if you also enjoy exercise but nothing seems to work, you may need to get your thyroid tested. An underactive thyroid affects thousands of people and is increasingly being recognised as a problem, especially for women.
Hereditary factors, stress, having a baby, certain toxins, smoking and a host of other factors can affect the thyroid which is a key gland, situated in the throat, regulating energy levels and metabolism.
You can ask your doctor for a thyroid check and blood tests. If you suffer from several of the following symptoms: hair loss, dry puffy skin, an inability to lose weight, constipation, fatigue and depression, it might be worth a chat with your doctor.
Only when your endocrine system is balanced and functioning properly will you get the full benefits of eco-fitness.
As with any medical problem, there are many holistic, natural approaches to dealing with thyroid issues. Check with your doctor if these are appropriate for you.
