Russian doctor Elena Baritskaya, a specialist in allergies, immunology, and pediatrics, recommends consuming berries and seafood to strengthen immunity and replenish the body's iodine reserves. Baritskaya listed foods that will help renew the body's iodine reserves and strengthen the immune system. According to her, with iodine deficiency, the entire body suffers, especially children, as growth and development become disrupted. In adults, immunity and work capacity decrease, and prolonged iodine deficiency can lead to goiter formation, thickening of the neck, and an increased risk of tumors.
According to the doctor, blueberries, strawberries, peaches, fish, tuna, turkey, baked potatoes, white beans, and seaweed will excellently saturate the body with iodine. She noted that all these products are excellent sources of iodine and other vitamins. Iodine deficiency in the body can be identified by paying attention to several symptoms, including lethargy and drowsiness, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, discomfort and tightness in the chest, headaches, decreased appetite, problems with hair and nails, reduced attention, and sensitivity to weather changes.
