In the past few years, thyroid disorders have made the news all over India. According to an article from Indian express, over 30% of Indians suffer from thyroid disorders and it has been found more prevalent among women with problems, like weight gain and hormonal imbalance.
Thyroid hormones regulate Metabolism (BMR) in humans and even in animals. In hypothyroid condition, the thyroid gland produces fewer hormones, which decreases the metabolic rate. Low metabolism means our body uses less energy (calories) than the energy (calories) we get through foods. These extra calories are stored in our body as fat, which means we start putting on weight.
Hence, slow metabolism is one of the main reasons for weight gain in case of hypothyroid condition. Now, one has to note that an excess of thyroid hormone is also not an ideal condition. It may end up with the sister of hypothyroidism – yes, hyperthyroidism it is! And it causes sudden weight loss.
With decreasing metabolism, hypothyroid also lowers your heart rate, makes you feel tired, depressed and all these symptoms speed up the weight gain process.
Now as we know, thyroid decreases metabolism so, our aim is to increase our metabolism by adding metabolism boosting food complemented with some lifestyle changes and exercises. This way, our body can burn more calories and lose weight.
With this, we will also decrease calorie intake as negative energy balance helps in burning the stored fat resulting in weight loss.
End Note:
All of this can take some efforts, but be rest assured that Hypothyroidism doesn’t have to restrict you from following a healthy lifestyle and weight loss. Taking the challenges in your stride, choosing the right balanced diet and making a regular thyroid level check up can help you to have an absolutely normal life.
