Seaweed is an excellent source of iodine, which is essential for healthy thyroid function. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate your metabolism. White fish is also a great and affordable way to get in those essential fatty acids while fresh orange juice will give you a vitamin C boost. This recipe is one of our favourite all-rounder meals.
