Dr. Maria Kalushina, an endocrinologist, announced that the best way to compensate for iodine deficiency in the body is to use iodized salt, and eat seaweed, persimmons (persimmons), and feijoas.
In an interview with NEWS.ru, the doctor indicated that the best way to compensate for iodine deficiency is to add iodized salt to food. In addition, you can eat foods, seaweed, persimmons, and feijoas that are rich in iodine. But many do not prefer these materials or are difficult to obtain. Therefore, iodized salt remains the best source to compensate for iodine deficiency in the body.
The doctor confirms that it is possible to obtain a small amount of iodine in addition to the medications prescribed by doctors in cases where the body's need for this element increases sharply. Especially during pregnancy.
How can men reduce their chances of developing prostate cancer?
A recent study found that men could cut their chances of developing prostate cancer by more than a third by running, cycling or swimming more.
It was found that those who increased their annual cardiorespiratory fitness by at least 3% had a 35% lower risk of developing the disease.
The researchers analyzed data on physical activity levels, height and body mass index (BMI) for 57,652 men, along with information on lifestyle and perceived health and the results of at least two cardiorespiratory fitness tests.
Annual cardiorespiratory fitness measurements were expressed as the amount of oxygen the body used during maximum exercise, and divided into groups according to whether this increased by more than 3%, decreased by more than 3%, or remained stable each year.
During an average follow-up period of seven years, the researchers found that 592 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer, and 46 of them died from the disease.
Those whose physical fitness improved by 3% per year were 35% less likely to develop cancer than those whose physical fitness decreased, according to results published in the British Medical Journal.
Increased cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with a 2% lower risk of prostate cancer, but not death, after controlling for potential influencing factors, including age, education level, year of testing, weight and smoking status.
Researchers from the Swedish College of Sport and Health Sciences said the findings “highlight the important role of supporting the general public to increase CRF (cardiorespiratory fitness).
Simon Greveson, assistant director of research at Prostate Cancer UK, said: “This is interesting research that adds to previous studies showing potential links between exercise and a reduced risk of prostate cancer.”
