Nutritionist Suggests These 7-Day Summer Drinks For Thyroid Health

When it comes to overall health, your thyroid plays a much bigger role than most people realise. This tiny, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck is like the body's "energy manager". It controls metabolism, influences mood, affects weight, and even keeps your heart and digestion in check. When it's working well, you barely notice it. But if it is underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism), you can start feeling tired, anxious, gain or lose weight unexpectedly, or notice changes in your skin and hair. The good news? Thyroid health is something you can support with simple, everyday habits.

Searching for simple, homemade recipes for your thyroid health? Look no further. Nutritionist Lovneet Batra has shared a picture post on Instagram, revealing seven easily prepared summer drinks which will help in boosting thyroid health naturally.
