Do we know our Thyroid enough?
I recently attended an event on Thyroid awareness wherein Endocrinologist Dr Shehla Shaikh and celebrity guest Juhi Chawla threw light on interesting facts on Thyroid.
Juhi shared her personal life experiences that her husband and father in law are suffering from Thyroid disorder themselves and with a simple pill every morning, they have overcome this situation and leading a life to the fullest!
My mom too, who is suffering from Thyroid from the last 5 years is living a healthy life. Just by getting her Thyroid hormone levels checked at regular intervals and taking medication on time has helped keep her thyroid hormones in control.
Do you know that 1 in 10 Indian adults suffer from Thyroid Disorder! You could be one of them too.
