Under-Active Thyroid - HypothyroidismUnder-active thyroid is a distressing condition which, unless treated, makes weight control more difficult and typically leads to weight gain. Thyroid hormones regulate growth as well as a variety of metabolic functions in the body. If the thyroid gland becomes under-active and fails to produce sufficient hormones, almost all bodily functions slow down, including skin regeneration and digestion. This condition is known as hypothyroidism. Women are three times more likely than men to develop the disease. In many cases hypothyroidism can be hereditary although typically it requires a trigger, such as stress or a virus, to activate it. In many cases, the exact causes of hypothyroidism remain unclear.
