Your thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped gland, located at the front part of your throat just below your Adam's apple.
It produces hormones that affect and regulate virtually every bodily activity.
Thyroid hormones control metabolism and organ function, directly affecting weight loss or gain, energy levels, skin condition, memory, heart rate, cholesterol levels, menstrual regularity, memory as well as many other functions.
If your thyroid gland is not working properly, a variety of possibly severe medical problems can result.
The good news is, if discovered and properly treated, a thyroid disorder can be controlled and the patient can lead a normal and active life. |
