Cold and Seaweed

Some people are very sensitive to cold, but the others are not in winter. This is due to the high or low amount of thyroxine isolated from the thyroid gland. In a word, a person with a high level of thyroxine is less sensitive to cold, and a person with a low level of thyroxine is more sensitive to cold.

Iodine is an important substance for thyroxine synthesis and is used for thyroxin synthesis in the thyroid gland. Among the foods, the most abundant iodine is found in seaweed. Therefore, high consumption of seaweed helps to synthesize thyroxin in the thyroid gland. Therefore, people who are sensitive to cold in winter need to eat a lot of seaweed.
