Iodine is a chemical element that is responsible for many of the body’s health functions.

Heath studies have found iodine offers thyroid support (it is needed for under-active, or hypothyroid), fighting infection, and helping the body fend off cancer and mood instability.

Iodine deficiency can show up in the body masked as fatigue, foggy thinking, cold hands and feet, dry skin, thin hair, and constipation.

In a perfect world, we would naturally only eat until our brains told our body that we had enough food to survive comfortably with, and then we would stop eating.

We would listen for the signal our brain sends to our stomach to recognize that we’ve satisfied (not stuffed) our hunger.

As a result, overeating and needless grazing would be eliminated and our waistlines would thank us for it.

However, when you get that strong craving that you feel compelled to feed, it doesn’t feel like perfect world conditions, does it?

As nutrition science has evolved, it has become clearer that high quality butter (organic, from grass-fed cows) in moderation, is a healthier choice over chemically processed margarine.

Clarified butter has been used in Indian cooking for centuries and boasts many benefits for health.

Especially when it is cooler outdoors, clarified butter can also provide grounding and sustenance from the inside out.
