Foods high in Iodine
Your thyroid uses iodine to make the hormones that regulate metabolism, and in pregnancy it is essential for the baby's brain. Seafood, seaweed, dairy and eggs are the natural sources. Iodised salt is the other big one, so people who cut salt or use sea salt can fall short. Iodine is measured in fewer foods than most nutrients, so some good sources may be missing here.
