Dementors drain âpeace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them,â according to Lupin (PA10). Even before a Dementor is seen, its presence is obvious; they are surrounded by an unnatural darkness and terrible icy cold (PA5). Dementors affect even Muggles, although the Muggles canât see the foul, black creatures. They were the guards at Azkaban and made that place horrible indeed.
The thyroid gland of a healthy adult concentrates 70-80% of a total body iodine content of 15-20 mg and utilizes about 80 Î¼g of iodine daily to synthesize thyroid hormones. In contrast, chronic iodine deficiency can result in a dramatic reduction of the iodine content in the thyroid well below 1 mg (1).
One key mineral that your thyroid gland needs to function is iodine, which is used to produce the thyroid hormones, T3 (triiodothyronine and T4 (thyroxine). Unfortunately, the body does not produce iodine on its own, so iodine needs to come from a water source and/or your diet.
