Schilddrüsenerkrankungen: 6 Dinge, die du unbedingt wissen solltest!

Today we are going to talk about the most important disease we have, the thyroid. I am going to tell you 6 things that you should definitely know about your thyroid. Of course, I am happy about your thumbs up and also if you subscribe to my channel. Thyroid diseases are getting worse and worse. What are the reasons for that and what can you do about it? That is today's topic. The thyroid is really the clockmaker of your body. It controls the entire metabolism that is going on in your body through 3 hormones, namely through the TSH, through T3 and T4 and thus controls your overall health condition. In addition, the thyroid stores iodine and forms the so-called calcitonin, which inhibits bone decomposition by the incorporation of calcium and phosphate into the bones. About half of the people in Germany are affected by the function of the thyroid. In the past, the head was the most common thyroid disease. You often saw people with a thick neck. Today, however, it is more often the subfunction, also known as hypothyroidism. By the way, we women are much more often affected than men, probably due to the intake of the anti-baby pill or the hormone replacement therapy. Because thyroid hormones and sexual hormones are closely related, they cause disorders, especially in the phases of hormonal changes, i.e. in puberty, pregnancy, infertility and later also in the climacterium, i.e. in the alternating years. When things are bad for people, they often don't think about the thyroid, but rather about the psyche. The psyche is responsible for this, because the symptoms can be very similar, such as mood swings, sleep disorders, heat waves, water retention, and performance and weight gain. These are the symptoms that women get. But, as I said, it's not just women. There are also men who have problems. I've had some here in practice, and that's crazy, because men think much less about the thyroid than women. So, if you men out there have any strange symptoms, which I just showed, please have your thyroid examined. If a latent thyroid dysfunction is diagnosed, then the cause should be found. For example, an autoimmune disease can be caused by this. It's called Hashimoto. The body's own immune system attacks the thyroid tissue and actually destroys it. Then you have to look again at the cause of the autoimmune disease in the patient. If you know the cause, then go to the solution. Now come the most important reasons, in my opinion, which can lead to the development of a subfunction of the thyroid. First of all, it's one-sided nutrition with a high proportion of animal foods. Just try to reduce this proportion or avoid it for a while. I've already experienced incredible things in my practice with my patients. The second reason is vitamin D deficiency. For God's sake, have your vitamin D levels checked, especially if you have these symptoms that I mentioned earlier, which could remind you of hypothyroidism. Often an insufficient iodine supply is also responsible. We live in an iodine deficiency area and therefore it may be that this is simply the reason why your thyroid doesn't work so well. But we still live in another deficiency area, namely in a selenium deficiency area. And that's why you have to look if there may be a selenium deficiency. Yes, and if you belong to those who take the anti-baby pill or also a hormone replacement therapy due to the beginning or already in the middle or already completed change of year situation, then you should definitely consider whether you want to deal with it in a different way. And the sixth reason can actually be a Q10, which is caused by the permanent intake of statins. For God's sake, statins! These are cholesterol-lowering drugs and of course this can also be the case. And that's why you have a high fat level and you take a drug, it can be a statin. A statin prevents you from producing Q10 yourself and then you can have a Q10 deficiency and it can be responsible for a subfunction. Back to Hashimoto's disease and also to latent subfunctions. In my experience, this can be strongly influenced by a full-fledged diet with sufficient supplementation of vitamin D, selenium and iodine. Helpful, by the way, this is perhaps something completely new, are tight fit exercises that you can find on our Liebscher & Pracht YouTube channel. It goes up here. And especially, of course, stretching in the neck and shoulder area so that the blood circulation of the thyroid is supported by the movement factor. And now please don't laugh, but I am convinced that singing also links the metabolism of the thyroid. And since singing has never been harmful, you should start right away. And if you think you have a beautiful voice, then wherever you are, and if you think, well, my voice is not necessarily, I need a little more training, then you should start every day in the shower. Yes, that's it for today. Thanks for watching. If you want to see more of my videos, then you can do this. By the way, I have linked sources on this topic under the video. Thank you and bye.
