What about iodine and aging?
As most of us know, hypertension (high blood pressure) often becomes an issue as we age. Because of this, many are being told that they need to decrease the total amount of salt in their diet. However, we must realize that most people over age 60 are becoming depleted of iodine due to the lack of iodine in the diet and that this particular group of individuals is also the group with the highest occurrence of thyroid nodules and goiters. Also of interest is that 25% of the people in this age category will become senile as a result of low thyroid (hypothyroidism) .

Supplementing iodine can snap a person out of even quite advanced senility. And it has proven to increase IQ, even in younger people!
So you can see why it is important for everyone to supplement Kelp (a good iodine source) in their diets! You can get kelp from swansonvitamins.com I started with 5 pills am and pm. Then once I’d built up my levels, I dropped to 5 per day. You can test for iodine deficiency at home if you have some liquid iodine. Paint a spot on your skin about the size of a quarter. Check the time. If the iodine is absorbed and disappears from your skin within 4 hrs. you are seriously depleted. If it lasts 8 hours, you have sufficient iodine. Check every hour and see where you stand. If you live near me, I have liquid iodine and can test you here.
