Gaining fat ,depression, mood swings, unwanted hair can be a hormonal issue and its root cause has to be treated, rather than treating it superficially .

This article will be dealing with thyroid issues in particular Hypothyroidism and how it can be treated through weight training and a proper diet and taking fat burner popping pills prescribed by popular health institutes is not always the solution.

      SYMPTOMS OF HYPOTHYROIDISM

Obesity, Excessive facial hair, Hair loss, Dry skin, Irregular menstrual cycle, Fatigue, Mood swings, Constipation .

     WHAT IS HYPOTHYROIDISM??

Hypothyroidism literally means underactive thyroid , An underactive thyroid means the thyroid gland produces less than normal amount of thyroid hormone. This underactive state of thyroid gland is called HYPOTHYROIDISM .

The two main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are Thyroxine(T-4) and Triiodothyronine(T-3)
These two hormones help control your
-Body temperature
-Heart rate
-Calcium in your blood
-How body uses the fat (Metabolism level)

T-4 and T-3 are produced by the thyroid gland , their release is controlled by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus (Both of them are situated in a region of the brain)

The thyroid hormone helps the liver break down the fat circulating in your body and stimulates other enzymes needed to get rid from your body of triglycerides . When you don't have enough thyroid hormone your triglycerides rise. Hypothyroidism can also negatively affect your mood. The thyroid gland helps regulate the chemical messengers - Neurotransmitters - that your brain uses to communicate with your nerves , when these hormones are not released properly it leads you to feel anxious and depressed.

  HOW WEIGHT TRAINING CAN HELP YOU COME OUT OF HYPOTHYROIDISM
Most of the woman start taking pills to get their cycles on time.

Antidepressants,calcium tablets come into play the moment Hypothyroidism is diagnosed .

Women rush to their parlours quite often to get rid of facial hair.

The question raised here is -
"IS THIS A PERMANENT SOLUTION "?

"DID OUR ANCESTORS HAVE PARLOURS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO GET RID OF SUCH PROBLEMS"?

Treating problems superficially is never a solution.
                Weight training or progressive resistance training and a proper diet can help treat the problem from the root cause.

1}PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING HELPS YOU LOOSE FAT.
Fat gain is a hall mark of hypothyroidism. Weight training builds muscle which rises the metabolism.

2}PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING GIVES YOU ENERGY
Hypothyroidism makes a person feel tired and dull all the time. Exercising and eating right can enhance your energy level.
                                                                  Cut out the refined carbohydrates,wheat,rice and sugar and sugar laden foods and stick with a diet consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables,milk and eggs , you will notice that your energy levels will soar.

3}PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE .
Hypothyroidism makes people get into depression which makes them feel like staying alone all the time, progressive resistance training makes them feel confident as the intensity increases and the weights that they are lifting makes them come back with a CAN DO attitude.

4}PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING ENHANCES MOOD.
Mood swings is another symptom of hypothyroidism after a person finishes weight training the body releases feel good hormones like endorphins and encyphalins which makes a person elated and feel euphoric.

Make sure that next time you do not rush to a parlour or to buy anti depressants or  fall a prey for fat burners advertised by the so-called health institutes because our grandmothers never did
