10. Learning and memory problems
Iodine deficiency in children and adults is dangerous for memory and can lead to reduced intellectual abilities.
The slowed functioning of the thyroid gland caused by iodine deficiency is reflected in mental abilities. That is because as the thyroid secretes too few hormones, the entire psychomotor system slows down. Memory is also affected as a result of intellectual fatigue caused by this hormonal imbalance. There might be a strong decrease in the capacity for memorization; the person becomes inattentive and distracted and has difficulty concentrating.
Iodine might seem like a small and trivial part of the health puzzle, but it is vital to regularly check your levels. If anything worries you, never hesitate to contact a doctor.
