Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of thyroid enlargement and goiter. Iodine plays a significant role in giving us a healthy life. Those with poor intakes of selenium, vitamin A, and iron may be at a greater risk for iodine deficiency symptoms. Underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism slows down the rate of metabolism.

✅ Weakness
When a person lacks a good proportion of iodine, they may likely feel weak. And picking up huge objects might look more burdensome than it used to be. The simplest way to explain this weakness is by a person not having as much energy as they used to.

✅ Unusual Cold
One of the most common symptoms of iodine deficiencies is cold. Research has shown that about 80% of people with hypothyroidism may be more vulnerable to cold temperatures than usual. Iodine deficiency can easily make your thyroid levels plummet because iodine is used to make thyroid hormones.

✅ Changes rate of heartbeat
The heart rate is a measure of the number of times your beats per minute. Your heartbeat could easily be affected by the levels of iodine in your body.

✅ Challenges during pregnancy
One of the most vulnerable groups of people to iodine deficiency in pregnant women. And this is due to the rate of their consumption to meet their personal daily needs and also for the needs of their growing baby.

✅ Heavy or Irregular periods
Iodine deficiency may result in heavy or irregularities in menstrual bleedings. Like some of the symptoms I told you about earlier, this symptom too has connections with low thyroid levels, provided that iodine is required to make thyroid hormones.

✅ Difficulties in learning and remembering
In a study of about 1000 grownups, it was discovered that those with higher thyroid hormone levels had a better performance in learning and memory tests, compared to the ones with lower thyroid hormone levels.

✅ Dry, Flaky Skins
Thyroid hormones enable your skin cells to get renewed. When the levels of the thyroid hormone are low, the renewals will not happen regularly and possibly result in dry, flaky skin.

✅ Swelling in the Neck
This is the most common symptom of iodine deficiency. It is called a "goiter" and it happens when the thyroid gland becomes enlarged. This occurs when your thyroid gland forcefully generates thyroid hormones when the supply of iodine in the body is low.

✅ Weight Gain
There may be an unexpected surge in the weight of a person if the body does not have sufficient iodine to make thyroid hormones. And this is because the rate of your metabolism is controlled by thyroid hormones. Metabolism is the process by which your body transforms food into heat and energy.

✅ Hair losses
Thyroid hormones also help in controlling the growth of hair follicles. When you have low levels of thyroid hormone, it may affect your hair follicles by stopping them from regenerating.
