Iodine

Here’s another one you don’t hear a lot about, but should. Iodine is a natural mineral found in the earth’s soil and ocean. Iodine is important for everyone but especially important for pregnant women as it plays a role in the healthy brain development of a fetus. Adults who are low on iodine can experience swelling in the neck, an enlarged thyroid, constipation, fatigue, confusion, and other serious symptoms. It can be found in some foods like seafood and seaweed (remember it comes from the sea), but you’re probably most familiar with it from your table salt. Healthy adults can take 140 micrograms per day.
