Iodine is not just a chemical element; it is a key ingredient that keeps our bodies healthy. Let's dive into the world of iodine and find out why it is so important to us.
Here's a quick sock-it-to-you guide to daily iodine requirements:
Infants (first 12 months): 50 mcg
Young Children (2 to 6 years): 90 mcg
School-age Children (7 to 12 years): 120 mcg
Adults (12 years and older): 150 mcg

Iodine deficiency can lead to serious health problems such as goiter, mental retardation, and even spontaneous abortions in pregnant women. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, or dry skin. If you experience these symptoms, it might be time to consult an endocrinologist.
Iodine is found in various foods. Squids, mussels, crabs, sea kale - all this saturates the body with the necessary trace element. In addition, nutritionists advise including beets, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, persimmons, apples, grapes, plums, buckwheat, millet, cheese, cottage cheese, and milk on the menu.
