1. thyroid hormone

   Thyroid hormone refers to any of the major hormones produced by the thyroid gland that regulate metabolism, growth, and development in the body. There are two main types of thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones play a vital role in every cell in the body to help regulate body temperature, heart rate, production of proteins, and much more. An imbalance in thyroid hormone levels can lead to several health problems such as hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).

1. Thyroid hormone

   The thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine and thyroxine, are tyrosine-based hormones produced by the thyroid gland that are primarily responsible for regulation of metabolism. Iodine is necessary for the production of T3 and T4. A deficiency of iodine leads to decreased production of T3 and T4, enlarges the thyroid tissue and will cause the disease known as goitre. The major form of thyroid hormone in the blood is thyroxine, which has a longer half-life than T3. The ratio of T4 to T3 released into the blood is roughly 20 to 1. T4 is converted to the active T3 within cells by deiodinases. These are further processed by decarboxylation and deiodination to produce iodothyronamine and thyronamine. All three isoforms of the deiodinases are selenium-containing enzymes, thus dietary selenium is essential for T3 production.

You're too thin Low body weight — defined as a BMI hovering around 18.5 or under — can chill you out for a couple of reasons.

Consider putting on a few pounds by loading up on whole, healthy foods that contain lots of protein, fat, and complex carbohydrates.
