Posting this because I’ve been fussing at my partner for like what feels like years now to eat some iodized salt and they haven’t done so and keep complaining about “maybe I have seasonal depression” or this or that and like okay unless I’m an ignorant shit ass moron there are few dietary sources of iodine outside of SEAFOOD, DAIRY, EGGS or SEAWEED which is basically seafood but for vegans. Anyway, unless you’re eating that DAILY because it’s water soluble i’m pretty sure, you should be supplementing your diet with probably at least HALF A TEASPOON of iodine EVERY DAY. depending on your weight and whatnot but also like just vibe it out

eat some iodized salt, it was a medical miracle of the 19th or whatever (I’m not an encyclopedia and I’m drunk) century

it imparts a metallic taste to food but like you can just mix it up into some water and swig it, treat it like a vitamin, idk dawg

your thyroid will be like yummy yummy yummy yummy and you might feel more energetic and you’ll definitely be at less risk of developing goiter! don’t make me fuss at you! eat your salt!

p.s. good news it’s one of the cheapest things you can buy (so-far )

    it’s a good practice to interrogate what you’re eating for any vitamins you might be lacking. For example, a deficiency in magnesium can cause headaches and other issues. Iodine is indeed one that I realized I’m not getting enough of because of the lack of it in most foods, and the fact that I have been using kosher salt instead of iodine infused salt.
