<strong>Thyroid</strong> Imbalance can be caused due to a variety <strong>of</strong> factors:<br />

Stress and Tiredness – Stress, anxiety and tiredness affect the working <strong>of</strong><br />

the thyroid gland. When a person is overtired or is unable to get enough<br />

sleep, the hormonal balance <strong>of</strong> the body goes out the window. At least 6-<br />

8 hours <strong>of</strong> sound sleep is essential for the body to prepare itself for a<br />

new day. Adequate amount <strong>of</strong> sleep is essential for the body to<br />

rejuvenate itself and for the cells and tissues <strong>of</strong> the body to get repaired<br />

and replaced. When a person is stressed, the production <strong>of</strong> Cortisol<br />

hormone is increased in the body. Increased levels <strong>of</strong> cortisol puts you at<br />

an increased risk <strong>of</strong> high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and<br />

dysfunctioning <strong>of</strong> the immune system.
