The better the thyroid works, the better your metabolism is. A lack of thyroid hormones slows down our metabolism. A slow metabolism can be a result of hypothyroidism. At first, hypothyroidism may be confused with exhaustion because sometimes we consider drowsiness, fatigue, and reduced work capacity an indicator that we are overexerting ourselves.
But we have to be careful. Does your skin get dry? Do your nails and hair get fragile? Do you experience anemia, nausea, and constipation? It’s probably hypothyroidism: your metabolism worsens, your intestines start working slower, and you gain weight. If you’ve noticed these symptoms, it’s recommended that you visit a doctor since diet and exercise won’t help here.
In the case of type II diabetes, unlike type I, our pancreas produces enough insulin but our receptors don’t respond to it and they become insulin tolerant. As a result, the excess amount of this accumulated hormone causes obesity.
The main danger is that this disease may be invisible for a long period of time and can be found only during a blood test. Normal diabetes features like excessive thirst or excessive urination may not occur. But if you also experience itching, this could be a reason to worry.
