Your thyroid (THY-roid) is a small gland found at the base of your neck, just below your Adam's apple. The thyroid produces two main hormones called T3 and T4. These hormones travel in your blood to all parts of your body. The thyroid hormones control the rate of many activities in your body. These include how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats. All of these activities together are known as your body's metabolism. A thyroid that is working right will produce the right amounts of hormones needed to keep your body’s metabolism working at a rate that is not too fast or too slow.

So how does this all affect you? At Harvest Drug & Gift we believe that knowledge is power. It’s important to be informed about your thyroid gland and know the basic information on keeping healthy. Harvest will be providing the Thursday evening seminars FREE to the public. Just give us a call at 940-692-7081 to reserve your FREE seat. Refreshments will be served.
