Medium Intensity Workout for Thyroid
How can workout help your thyroid? It’s super-easy. When you move your body, you help it to get rid of cortisol, also known as a hormone of stress. So by exercising, you lower your stress levels down and it’s known that stress is one of the core factors contributing to thyroid fatigue. Don’t worry if you can´t find enough time for a “full-power” workout in the gym(high-intensity workouts can even turn out harmful for your thyroid gland, especially if you exercise every day). Exercising for 15 mins a day will already make a contribution to your thyroid health.
NOTE: Remember, that if you are a beginner or have had a break in working out, you should consult your health-care provider before you begin to exercise.
