Did you know that thyroid disorders are some of the most common diseases worldwide? In the Philippines, 1 in every 11 adults suffer from goiter or other thyroid diseases. Unfortunately, these problems are also common in women and figures show that women are 4 to 7 times more likely to have thyroid disorders than men. They are also at risk of hypothyroidism by 10 times, with those who recently gave birth and those who are in their menopausal age being more vulnerable.

To help raise awareness about thyroid diseases, and just in time for the International Thyroid Awareness Week {ITAW} 2017, leading science and healthcare innovation company Merck, joined forces with the Department of Health {DOH}, Philippine Thyroid Association (PTA), Philippine Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism {PSEDM}, and the Iodine Global Network {IGN}, to help raise consciousness against thyroid disorders.

You + Your Thyroid

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland that sits in at the lower front of the neck and plays a key role in one’s overall health and well-being by producing thyroid hormones that help keep the body use energy, stay warm, and keep the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs in tip-top condition.

But why are thyroid diseases usually left undetected and misdiagnosed? Blame the symptoms. Tiredness, anxiety, weight fluctuations, difficulty in sleeping ~ these are some of the telling signs of a thyroid problem. Unfortunately, more often than not, people usually attribute these to merely having poor lifestyle choices. This is why the theme of this year’s ITAW is: “It’s Not You, It’s Your Thyroid.”

Cliche it may be, but there is indeed a woman behind the person we are today. And that is no less than her ~ our mother. We used to call her nanay, inay, ‘nay, mama, mummy, or simply mum. Needless to say, she deserves more than that given the pivotal role she fulfills in rearing us from childhood to adulthood and possibly for the rest of our lives.

There may be opposing beliefs whether that greater maternal instinct is biologically predetermined or socially imposed, but everyone would agree that a mother is hardwired to love and care about the whole family, especially the children, all the time. For better or worse, it’s always the welfare of everyone at home on top of her priority.
No wonder she’s an epitome of a doting human being that touches everybody’s life. So, it’s but right to honor and return all the favors she has done for us. And what a better way to do this than this Mother’s Day.

Still drooling over the ways on how to spend this time of the year again with her? Well, you may opt for the basics of gift-giving from simple trinkets to expensive items. But take note, your appreciation of her is not equated by the tag price of your present. It’s the thought that counts, as an adage says.

You may consider a set of hankies that will bring back the memory of her wiping out her tears of happiness upon knowing that she’s conceiving a li’l creature inside her womb. That’s you, of course. A loose yet comfy clothes shall make her remember that sort of a duster or preggy dress she wore in the laborious yet exciting “nine months” of gestation.
