Just have to SHARE THIS as it shows how many bodily functions are affected by the thyroid!

Thyroid health is essential to support all other body systems!

▷Immune system

Thyroid hormones can influence the activity and function of various immune cells, including T cells, B cells, macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells.

▷Cardiovascular system

Thyroid hormones influence heart rate, blood pressure, and overall cardiac function. They can increase or decrease the heart rate and contractility, thus affecting blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues.

▷Digestion

Thyroid hormones affect the gut’s motility and function. Hypothyroidism can slow down digestion and cause constipation, while hyperthyroidism can increase gut motility, leading to diarrhea or frequent bowel movements.

▷Nervous system

In adults, thyroid hormone helps maintain normal cognitive function, mood, and sleep patterns.

▷Endocrine system

Thyroid hormones are essential for normal reproductive function in both men and women. Imbalances can lead to menstrual irregularities, infertility, and complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

▷Metabolism

Thyroid hormones regulate the body’s metabolic rate, affecting how quickly the body uses energy, produces heat, and breaks down nutrients. They help maintain a proper balance between energy storage and energy expenditure.

▷Bones

Thyroid hormones influence bone development, growth, and remodeling, which are essential for maintaining bone strength and density.

▷Skin

Thyroid hormones influence skin hydration, hair growth, and nail strength. Hypothyroidism can cause dry, rough skin, brittle nails, and hair loss, while hyperthyroidism can lead to thinning hair, warm and moist skin, and increased sweating.

▷Liver

Cholesterol synthesis, absorption, and excretion in the liver are influenced by thyroid hormones.

▷Muscles

Thyroid hormones play a role in muscle strength, growth, and repair. Hypothyroidism can lead to muscle weakness, cramps, and stiffness, while hyperthyroidism may cause muscle wasting and weakness.

▷Lungs

Thyroid hormones help regulate the central respiratory drive, which controls the rate and depth of breathing. Thyroid hormones also influence lung tissue development and overall lung function.
