The condition in which the thyroid gland cannot secrete enough hormones is called hypothyroidism. When hypothyroidism develops, a slowdown in metabolic rate develops. Dietitian Gözde Karaca gave information about the subject. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is secreted more than normal. In this case, the metabolism works faster than normal and can cause problems such as not gaining weight.
Abnormal secretion of thyroid glands can affect not only weight gain/loss but also many vital functions. For these reasons, routine follow-up of blood values is of great importance. Thyroid patients should pay attention to drug treatment and healthy diet throughout their lives under the supervision of a doctor.
