Deficiency will lead to disease
The clinical manifestations of iodine deficiency disorders are complex, often depending on the severity of iodine deficiency and iodine deficiency when the body's developmental stages. Fetal period can occur abortion, stillbirth, congenital malformations, such as cretinism; neonatal period can be induced by neonatal hypothyroidism, goiter; children and adolescents may be caused by goiter, subclinical cretinism, Chile and physical stunting , deafness and so simple; adults and its complications can cause goiter, hypothyroidism, mental retardation, iodine hyperthyroidism. Easy to cause clinically important that goiter and cretinism. In addition, the deficiency will be a people known as the "big neck disease." When the human body when hyperthyroidism, excessive thyroid hormone secretion, metabolism acceleration, a large number of nutrients consumed will lead to the human body weight loss, rapid heartbeat, change strange temper, impatience irritability, exophthalmos, goiter, etc., the disease also hereinafter referred to as "hyperthyroidism." Therefore, in order to effectively prevent these diseases, the need for timely supplementation.

Iodine is an essential factor in intellectual
Iodine "intellectual element" known, iodine and protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and other nutrients, like as a present in the human body, its content in the human body is only 20 mg (average 30 mg), for the able-bodied 1/2000000 weight, belonging to 70 species of trace elements in a, although very low, but it is all the body systems, especially the nervous system development are indispensable.
Iodine is a synthetic thyroid hormone is not the lack of important raw materials. Have an impact on thyroid hormone metabolism, growth and development, in particular, the physiological role of brain development. The body has sufficient iodine in order to ensure normal thyroid function, iodine in the human body during the metabolism of every day, putting an end to the case of iodine intake, body reserves to maintain enough iodine 2 months. The body's iodine supply depends entirely on the natural environment, and must daily intake. The only way to maintain normal thyroid function, and promote metabolism and maintain normal growth and development body, the nervous system function and normal mental development.

The most safe and effective prevention method - consumption of iodized salt
The cause of iodine deficiency disorders is very clear, is caused by iodine deficiency, prevention is the most important measures. Correctly as long as the consumption of iodized salt on iodine deficiency disorders can be prevented.
Iodized salt is not only China, but also to combat iodine deficiency disorders around the world the safest and the most basic means. How much iodine the body needs daily? How to detect whether the body of iodine deficiency? Recommendations of the medical experts can be made to the hospital for examination of iodine in urine, if its content is less than 100 micrograms / L, it means that iodine deficiency. Experts, for health, we must buy iodized salt, especially in rural areas people can not buy the cheapest Private Salt Fig. Although the Private Salt cheap, save money, but will eat Private Salt suffering from iodine deficiency disorders were more losses than gains. In fact, the difference between the two cut down as long as a few cigarettes, liquor few will be able to make up for cutting.
In addition, medical experts emphasized that patients with hyperthyroidism, thyroid inflammation in patients with a very small number of people, such as unfit for human consumption of iodized salt. Living in iodine residents, their daily food from the high iodine and high iodine in drinking water has been a relatively high dose of iodine, it is possible goiter caused by iodine excess, so that some people are not fit for human consumption of iodized salt.

Supplementation is not better
To be a normal adult daily iodimetry for 100 to 150 micrograms, of which 80% ~ 90% gain from the food; for children, the daily 90 to 120 micrograms of iodine is sufficient, as long as the normal amount to eat something iodized salt can be. The highest iodine content of food is seafood, such as kelp, seaweed, fresh fish, clams, cockles, shellfish and so on, the highest iodine content of kelp, other foods are generally considered low iodine food. I do not eat seafood and iodized salt in the crowd, there is often inadequate or deficiency of iodine may, in particular, children should be added from other sources of iodine deficiency disorders.
Of course, the human body is not to say that the better intake of iodine. When the body of the iodine intake more than normal demand for long-term, it will cause goiter that diseases such as hyperthyroidism. There are enough examples. Ms. Wang in order to supplement, from 3 years ago to eat kelp crazy, it certainly points every pot rinse seaweed, cooking at home and also put some salt. Recently, she woke up the morning, eyes swollen into a seam on the near extinction before noon symptoms and inability to feel her body becoming obese.
