# And what about iodine?

Iodine helps keep the all-important thyroid gland, found in your neck, healthy which controls a number of key functions in your body. Iodine deficiency is so commonplace in many countries that, regardless of your diet, the Ministry of Health recommends the use of iodised salt. This means that the normal amount of salt (don’t exaggerate!) typically used in cooking automatically guarantees that you meet your required iodine intake. Just make sure that the salt you buy is marked "iodised salt".
