I am proud to share this with you..
I was tested positive for hypothyroidism in 2017, and now when I look back, I am so grateful that I got myself tested. I'll tell you why !
My life before test and after test has changed drastically. To be specific it's not the test, it's the medicine and lifestyle changes I made after I was informed that I have thyroid.
It surely, took a while for things to get normal but when it did, I never felt better than this before in my whole life.
In (Hypothyroidism - Weight gain), there were some serious symptoms I had such as :
1. Sensitivity to cold (I use to super cold in air conditioned room, almost shiver)
2. Weight gain (10 pounds in 2 months)
3. Severe PMS ( Don't even ask me about this.. anger, high blood pressure, crying etc.)
4. Depression & mood swings
5. Tiredness
Until i was tested, I never realized that it could be a hormonal disorder rather I used to blame myself and started to believe that I am such a horrible, negative person and it started to take toll on my health and relationships. (Health and relationships are closely related, I will talk about this some other day).
So to bring my life back on track, there were a few very important things that I followed :-
Thyroid medicine
Take your prescribed on time. Be regular, try to take at the same time everyday for e.g. if you took it at 6 am today then take it at 6 am next day and all days.
Green Juice
Everyday 1 glass,

Raw Vegetables
This should be a replacement for evening snacks. Have (Carrots, cucumber, corn) instead of (Biscuits, tea and coffee)
Green Tea
Post dinner and evenings (you need to develop taste for it, it's not so bad after all)
Physical activity
This is a must ! You can't skip this part, I am not pushing you to go to gym or run for hours if you can though, it's great but if not then, at least try something less exhausting
For e.g brisk walk, jogging, yoga, climb the stairs if nothing else.
Sleep time consistency
If you sleep at 11 pm then sleep at 11 pm everyday, keep the time consistent and hours of sleep should minimum be 6.5-7 hours.
Avoid Sugar, Smoke & Alcohol
Try to skip sugar instead try fruits, in limited quantity and stay stress free, the smoking or drinking habit may take sometime :) )
Disclaimer :The above mentioned tips are all natural and does not have any side effects, but if anyone has a unrelated/related disease or disorder may discuss with their respective physicians before following a specific diet routine.
Last but not the least, before I leave this post I wanna share the results I experienced :)
1. Increase in Productivity
2. Better and Healthy personal relationships
3. Positive approach towards life
4. Controlled weight gain
5. Calm mind
6. Increased stamina and exercise routine
Remember, consistency is the key !
