Is your thyroid making you fat? by Nutritionist and Naturopath Shoba Jay
Why me? It can be frustrating, stressful and emotionally exhausting trying to lose weight especially when you're hitting the gym and being a dietary saint. You may have known for years that your 'slow metabolism' had been affecting your weight loss goals but could there be a simple explanation as to why this is happening? What is the link between weight, metabolism and the thyroid? Metabolism refers to the chemical and physical processes that take place in order for your body to maintain homeostasis (to stay alive). This process involves transforming the food you eat into chemical energy for our cells to perform their many daily functions including breathing, regulating heart beat, digestion and concentration. A key factor involved in metabolism is the thyroid gland, found just over the trachea (windpipe) in front of your throat. It works with the brain to secrete hormones that regulate energy burning. When you don't have enough thyroid hormone circulating in the blood, the body will slow down, which consequently has an impact on all your daily functions. What is hypothyroidism? Hypothyroidism is the term used to describe a thyroid that doesn't function well and can be influenced by primary or secondary factors. Primary hypothyroidism can result from damage to the thyroid gland itself whilst secondary hypothyroidism may result from stimuli like long term stress, environmental pollution and a not so perfect diet. The symptoms: What to watch out for. ■ Goitre (enlarged thyroid gland) ■ Slow and foggy thinking ■ Inability to lose weight ■ Constant fatigue ■ Depression ■ Dry and thick skin ■ Coarse dull hair ■ Low blood pressure ■ Fluid retention ■ Poor wound and healing abilities What you can do? Nutrition and lifestyle play a key role in the state of your health.Whether due to primary factors, stress or a not so perfect diet, an under active thyroid requires vital nutrients to function properly.* For more information please visit Melbourne Boulevard Pharmacy. Shoba Jay is a qualified Nutritionist and Naturopath, available for general advice and private consultations. *Please note that full investigative blood studies can be organised at your local doctor. naturopath.mbp@live.com.au

WE ALL NEED
LOCAL LIFE Everyone benefits from a strong community. HAVE YOU USED THESE IMPORTANT WORDS LATELY? The six most important words
“I admit I made a mistake.” The five most important words
“You did a good job.” The four most important words
“What is your opinion?” The three most important words
“If you please …” The two most important words
“Thank you.” “As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” ~ Abraham Lincoln
eing active within our society helps us feel less lonely, live a more interesting life, find friends, stay healthy and feel happier.
B
We feel worthwhile, connected, included, important, significant, appreciated and safe. Being active within our community inspires us, brings success in business and helps us find our way in life. With today’s rapid explosion of online social media, entertainment, virtual worlds, email and chat, it is easy to become engrossed in a computer.
It is a modern day reality that people turn to their computers for connection to others.
This can be a great thing but it can also go too far and we can become detached from our local, physical community. Online communities have become very real, significant and help millions feel more connected, but they must not take the place of our physical community relationships. It is also common for people to find jobs online and to move to different locations around the world. This uproots us and detaches us from the community we grew up in, forces us to make new friends and establish ourselves in new locations.
Understanding the importance of community and becoming more active within yours will greatly increase your quality of life.
NORM’S LOCAL LIFE can be downloaded at lifebeinitservices.com.au. for $10.
INTERESTED IN COMMUNITY BUILDING? ‘Life. Be in it.’ Tasmania - http://tas.lifebeinit.org - has developed an exciting mix of programs that may interest you and your community. People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.
‘Life. Be in it’ Mini Sports provides a platform for children aged 2.5 to 5 years with an opportunity to experience a variety of sports in a fun and healthy manner. ‘Life. Be in it.’ South Australia - sa.lifebeinit.org/ - had more than 8000 people involved in their programs during 2012. Many just came to have heaps of fun and enjoy socialising and team building challenges. Others used the programs as a lead into a more active and healthy lifestyle - and some just make them part of their every day wellbeing activities!
Contact lifebeinitservices.com.au. if you would like these programs in your community – some could lead to employment opportunities. ‘FREE TIME FUN’ can be downloaded at lifebeinitservices.com.au. for $20.’ © Palmers People and R Sharp Design
