Foods with the most iodine
In addition to being actively added to spices, iodine is also found naturally in dozens of foods.
According to doctors at the Ho Chi Minh City Nutrition Center, iodine is an essential micronutrient for the body, contributing significantly to the formation, development and maintenance of human activities, especially in pregnant women and young children.
It is recommended that children under 6 months need 40 micrograms per day (1 mg = 1,000 micrograms); children 6-12 months need 50 micrograms per day; children 1-3 years need 70 micrograms. The amount of iodine increases to 120-150 micrograms per day for adults. Pregnant and lactating women should increase by 50 micrograms.
Diet is the only way to supplement iodine for the body. In addition to salt and fish sauce with added iodine, experts say some natural foods also contain a certain amount of iodine and are very necessary to supplement iodine. However, the dosage of each type is different.
