Why Himalay people mostly suffer from Goitre
Asked by mahenshaikhjuly12 | 26 Jun, 2019, 13:06: PM
- Goitre is a disease caused due to the deficiency of iodine in the diet.
- We get iodine from salts.
- Hilly areas such as Himalayas are far away from the sea coast, hence the iodine content of the hill soil is negligible.
- As a result, the food grown in such soil also becomes iodine deficient.
- When people in the Himalayas consume iodine deficient food, they do not get adequate intake of iodine. Hence, they mostly suffer from goitre.
