La dieta y el yodo

Recomendaciones:

Éstas son las cantidades diarias recomendadas:

Bebés: 40 a 50 microgramos
Niños
- de 1 a 3 años: 70 microgramos
- de 4 a 6 años: 90 microgramos
- de 7 a 10 años: 120 microgramos
- de 11 años en adelante: 150 microgramos
Mujeres embarazadas: 175 microgramos
Mujeres lactantes: 200 microgramos

Un 1/4 de cucharada pequeña de sal de mesa yodada proporciona 95 microgramos de yodo y una porción de 170 g (6 onzas) de pescado de mar proporciona 650 microgramos. La mayoría de las personas pueden satisfacer sus necesidades de yodo consumiendo comida de mar, sal yodada y plantas cultivadas en suelos ricos en yodo. Al comprar sal, se recomienda asegurarse que tenga la leyenda "yodada" en la etiqueta.
