Iodine at the seaside and on the table

We must take advantage of our beach holidays to intake more iodine and vitamin D, found in fish and shellfish, but also in meat, eggs, milk, cheese and dairy products, and in lower amounts also in fruit and vegetables, in iodized salt, even though it must be used sparsely.
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.

This precious mineral is also important in order to help us prevent general fatigue, bone weakness, lack of muscular strength and pains.
For breakfast we can have a cup of milk or yogurt, eat appetizers and second courses of fish and fresh summer side dishes, enriching our snacks under the umbrella with a fruit and a flake of “Grana Padano” cheese.
Grok strong taste for a light meal: produced only with Italian milk and with no additives or preservatives, it is nutritive and light because it has been baked.
Let’s prepare a mixed salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, a handful of corn and Grok crumbled: we will enjoy a crispy and tasty summer dish!
