Disorder of the thyroid? A disease of civilization?

1. What is thyroid dysfunction?
It is found in the anterior and lower part of the neck and is responsible for the secretion of hormones: triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and calcitonin. The thyroid hormones affect the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and cholesterol.2. Causes of hypothyroidism
Classification of thyroid insufficiency by time of occurrence: congenital thyroid aplasia (non-development), ectopia (occurrence other than physiological), acquired Hashimoto's disease, postnatal thyroiditis, thyroid injury, chronic iodine deficiency in the diet, radiation of the neck area in the event of cancer, removal of the thyroid gland. There are several classifications of thyroid insufficient according to location, time of onset and time of incidence.3. Symptoms of thyroid insufficiency
Thyroid insufficiency is also associated with an increased risk of overweight, obesity, lipid disorders, and cardiovascular disease. The most common symptoms of advanced thyroid inefficiency are drowsiness, lack of energy, decreased tolerance to exercise, impaired intellectual ability, impairment of concentration, depressive states, reduced sensitivity to cold, slowed heart action (bradycardia), dryness and hardening of the skin, seizures, constipation, menstrual disorder, infertility, hearing loss, and joint inflammation.4. Diagnosis of hypothyroidism
The correct values for TSH are 0.24.5 IU/ml. The test allows the diagnosis of autoimmune bowel diseases, e.g. the USG test, which is essential for the functioning of TSHs, to identify the type of hormonal disorders deficiency or hyperactivity. The normal values for FT3 are 1.54.0 ng/l, and for FT4 820 ng/L.5. Treatment of thyroid insufficiency
Hormonal therapy is complemented by a properly balanced diet and physical activity. The doctor selects the appropriate treatment for the patient individually, which aims to regularly supply thyroid hormones that are deficient in the body. TSH, FT4 and FT3 tests (fasting before taking a dose) should be carried out systematically during treatment.6. A diet in the hypothalamus
Regular intake of low-fat animal protein (meat, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products) throughout the day is very important to speed up metabolic processes. Excessive caloric constraints should affect the slowing of metabolism and the increase in TSH levels. The diet of people with low levels of glucose in the pancreas should take into account the increased supply of full-fat protein from animal products (flesh, fish and milk, and low fat milk products).
