(Food-Beverage-News.Com, July 24, 2014 ) Glasgow, UK -- A new survey published by About.com has revealed the worse symptoms of thyroid disease. Out of the hundreds of participants, thyroid patients voted tiredness and exhaustion as the worst.
Weight gain was also a major concern for the survey correspondents, with 29% citing weight gain as a major concern. The survey also highlighted other symptoms such as anxiety, depression and problems with hair, skin and nails.
Patients with this condition are usually prescribed Levothyroxine to help manage the symptoms, but there are some natural alternatives that might also help to address some of the major signs of hypothyroidism.
Virgin coconut oil could prove to be extremely beneficial to patients suffering from this health problem. The lauric acid that is contained in virgin coconut oil can act to lower the bad cholesterol levels and also helps to improve the function of the thyroid.
One issue many patients with low thyroid experience is weight gain; the slower than normal metabolism make the excess weight difficult to lose. However, virgin coconut oil has been shown to help aid weight loss and to enhance the fat burning process.
Another major symptom can be dry skin. Although this might not seem like a major issue for many people, when skin becomes dry it can get sore and becomes easily irritated. Dry skin can make the patient want to itch regularly; when the skin is scratched, it can lead to small cuts and infections. However, virgin coconut oil offers a way to help patients with poor thyroid function to ease their dry skin.
Moreover, virgin coconut oil can help patients to increase their energy levels. This is vital to patients suffering from this condition as patients with low thyroid often feel drained of energy and this can start to interfere with everyday life.
