The thyroid gland, which is located in the neck, produces hormones that affect a variety of metabolic processes in the body. If the body does not produce sufficient amounts of the thyroid hormone T4, symptoms of underactive thyroid result.Among these symptoms are fatigue, depression, weight gain, hair loss, feeling cold often, constipation, brittle or splitting nails, memory problems, and dry skin.Since iodine is required to produce thyroid hormones, certain foods that are rich in this important mineral may play a key role.mong these symptoms are fatigue, depression, weight gain, hair loss, feeling cold often, constipation, brittle or splitting nails, memory problems, and dry skin.

Flowers lure pollinators in several ways, with color as their main attractant. Bees are drawn to yellow, blue and white but cannot see red. When you spot a bee burrowing deeply into a red or pink flower, the center of the flower is probably yellow. The center holds the flowerâs reproductive organs.
The yellow color of zucchini blossoms attract bees necessary for pollination. Zucchinis (Curcubita pepo) are botanically related to cucumbers, squash and melons. All plants need male pollen added to female flowers in order to bear fruit. Some plants have flowers with both sexes, while others, like zucchinis, have separate male and female flowers. The striking yellow color of zucchini flowers attracts bees that carry the pollen from male to female parts. Zucchinis are warm season vegetables that mature in 35 to 55 days.
