Iodine! is one of the micronutrients essential for human metabolism and growth and development.

Iodine is an important micronutrient that affects intellectual development, and iodine deficiency in the human body can cause different degrees of damage, leading to the occurrence of iodine deficiency disease and even disability.

Iodine deficiency is a very serious hazard, especially for newly married women of childbearing age, pregnant women and infants.

However, in reality, people lack the knowledge of iodine deficiency hazards and prevention. Therefore, it is a very urgent task to popularize the knowledge of disease prevention, raise awareness of self-care, and strengthen publicity and education in the current work of eliminating iodine deficiency diseases.

Raise people's awareness of iodine deficiency disorders.
Iodine is an essential micronutrient for human metabolism and growth and development.
1. Iodine is an essential micronutrient for metabolism and growth and development, and is the main raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormones in the human body.
2, Thyroid hormone is involved in the body's metabolism, maintains the normal function of all organs, and promotes the growth and development of the human body, especially the brain.
3, The child's brain development starts from the mother's pregnancy. The fetal period and infancy (1-3 years old) are critical periods for the development of the child's brain.
4, All the iodine needed by the fetus comes from the mother, therefore, insufficient iodine nutrition for pregnant women will cause fetal iodine deficiency.
If the iodine deficiency is severe during pregnancy, it will lead to miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth and congenital malformation.
5, Pregnant and lactating women require significantly more iodine than the general population and need to be supplemented with appropriate amounts of iodine in a timely manner.
6, Iodine deficiency in adults may lead to low thyroid function, easy fatigue, lack of mental concentration and reduced work efficiency.

Safe consumption of iodized salt is the easiest and most effective way to prevent iodine deficiency disorders
1, Iodine deficiency disease is a general term for a series of diseases that occur due to the lack of iodine in the external environment, resulting in insufficient iodine intake in the human body.
2, Iodine deficiency disease is preventable, and the easiest, safe and effective way to prevent it is to consume iodized salt.
3, Most of the regions have iodine deficiency in the external environment (water, soil, etc.), especially in mountainous areas, hilly areas, river valleys, desertification areas and river washed areas.

It is difficult to change the status quo of iodine deficiency in the external environment. If you stop iodine supplementation, the iodine stored in the human body can last for 3 months at most, so you should insist on consuming iodized salt for a long time.
