Thyroid hormone tells all of the cells in your body how busy they should be. Too much thyroid hormone (hypERthyroidism), and your body goes into overdrive; not enough thyroid hormone (hypOthyroidism), and your body slows down.
Place the pot on the stove and turn the heat to high. Check for steam escaping from under the lid, then lift the lid carefully to see how the water is doing. Look at the water. If large bubbles are rising from the bottom of the pot to the surface, the water is boiling.
A few bubbles is not a boil. Boiling means that all of the water is at 100Â° C (adjusted for altitude/purity/etc.). If you measure the water temperature you'll see that the first bubbles start to form at a much lower temperature than that. â Aaronutâ¦ Nov 27 '11 at 3:44.
