Wake Up Your Thyroid
Start your day off every morning with a thyroid-boosting smoothie. This smoothie uses three key ingredients -- tyrosine, greens, and antioxidants -- to blend together and form a nutrient powerhouse. Tyrosine, which is found in seeds like sunflower or flax, helps regulate your thyroid hormones. Greens, like kale and spinach, help activate your thyroid to boost your metabolism. Antioxidants, such as those in raspberries or blueberries, can reduce inflammation in your body. Pick your favorite one out of each category (don't be afraid to switch up flavors each day!) and enjoy for breakfast.
