Stress may exacerbate an underlying thyroid condition, interrupting the normal rate at which thyroid hormones are produced and released. Put exercise on your to-do list. A daily routine of walking, swimming, gentle yoga, tai chi, or meditation can help manage stress, stabilize your weight, metabolism, and energy levels, thus restoring your thyroid health.
Scan for anti-cancer foods at the grocery store. Pick up cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, bok choy) that have ample anti-cancer phytochemicals. Include foods rich in carotenoids (carrots and canataloupes), ellagic acid (strawberries, pomegranates), and resveratrol (red grapes, cocoa, peanuts) that negate free radicals. Fiber-rich whole grains and folate-rich foods curb tumor growth, too.
The key to relieving asthma is to do whatever you can to ensure unblocked bronchi. This includes prevention of mold growth where you live, regulated warmer temperatures, and curtailed smoking habits.
