The recommended dietary allowance for iodine is 200 mcg/day during pregnancy and 75 mcg/day while breastfeeding. For the rest of us, the answer for optimum thyroid health is, therefore, to get enough -- but not too much -- iodine. You might be deficient in iodine if you have, for health reasons, cut iodized salt out of your diet, or switched to non-iodized sea salt.
The brain and spinal cordâ¦ together make up the central nervous system. The spinal cord begins at the occipital bone and extends down to the space between the first and second lumbar vertebrae; it does not extend the entire length of the vertebral column. It is around 45 cm (18 in) in men and around 43 cm (17 in) long in women.
A complete injury is when there is no movement or feeling below your spinal cord injury level. If you have some feeling or voluntary movement below your injury, you have an incomplete injury. This is because there is only partial damage to your spinal cord. A numbering system is used to describe the level of injury. It is named for the lowest level of the spinal cord which functions the way it did before your injury. For example, âC-5â means that your spinal cord from the 5th cervical nerve and above still functions the way it did before your injury.
