We must benefit from daylight as much as possible and prioritize healthy walks in the open air, by the shore in the cooler hours of the day.
All this will help us to achieve the daily recommended amount of iodine, which lack is often overlooked, but, according to the World Health Organization, is one of the major public health problems since it is necessary to form thyroid hormone.
On average, about 150 mcg per day are necessary in particular for children under 3 years old, to develop various organs, especially the brain.
