The periodic elements have one hundred eighteen elements all in all and what this article is about to tackle now is that fifty third chemical element, which is indeed a great contribution of Bernard Courtois in the world of science. It is no other than the element Iodine that makes the production of thyroid hormone, regulation of temperature, metabolism and heart rate possible. It is no question why iodine derivatives are invented.

Here is a trivia, do you know that once a person gets lack of iodine it can drive them nuts like literally mental retardation. Alarming as may sound, in the world population there are two billion people out there who are suffering such epidemic. Limiting the amount of which does not only affect the state of health but it can also affect your life living in the way full of discriminations.

Here is an additional knowledge, the consequences of lacking iodine can damage your brain as a matter of fact it is one the leading cause of mental retardation. This phenomenon affected a percentage of two billion in the population and that alone is indeed highly alarming number what more to those people that are suffering from goiter.

Are you into salty foods like salami, smoked fish, and perhaps any all others that are in some brands high in salt content in that case do you have any idea how is salt made. Salt is just not all sodium chloride they contain iodine in small amounts and that is just how the major public health problem gets to be cheaply addressed. Well no matter how it is too good to be true, everything else in world have its own pros and cons and so this are the problems you meet with so much intake of its derivatives.

To cheaply supervise this concern, salt is naturally made with a few amount of iodine but then there are two sides of the news and that is both the good and the bad. The bad news about consuming larger amount of salt more than what your body requires is that it you are opening a path where you are putting yourself in danger of heart disease and stroke because it is said that it can be the result gotten from the sudden increase in your blood pressure from so much intake of salt.

A person who is suffering the consequences of lacking iodine fits also the shoe who consumes with such an excessive amount. A large dose can bring you a lot of health threats such as inflammation on the thyroid gland and even cancer too. You will meet also undesirable effects like burning sensation on your mouth going down to your stomach which in result can cause you fever, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and worse diarrhea.

It sucks to live a life like that and so please take care of yourself. Life is already short do not make it even more. Salty foods are tasty but then again everything in return just comes with the right equal amount. Just like everything in this world food also have their own pros and cons and so learn to balance.

If there is a bad news of course there is a good news and that is you have the ability to balance things out by filling up what lacks and lessening the excessive that your body cannot take. A quote gotten straight from the principle of late Swiss physician named Paracelsus makes you realize that dose makes the poison. A proper diet of iodine is all it takes because you know what they say an ounce of prevention is better than the pound of cure.
