Iodine enters the body through iodine-rich foods, including certain salts (âiodized saltâ), eggs, sea vegetables and fish. We rely on iodine to create thyroxine (T4 hormone) and triiodothyronine (T3), two of the main hormones produced by the thyroid that control numerous important functions.
Iodine is a trace mineral necessary for normal cell metabolism. It is required by the thyroid gland in the synthesis and secretion of hormones. Good food sources are: seaweeds like dulse and kelp, bananas, blueberries, peaches, strawberries, watermelon, black walnuts, carrots, asparagus, eggplant, kale, green beans, okra, spinach and tomatoes.
