Goitre is the swelling of the thyroid gland. This is caused by too much or too little activity in this gland. The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck and secretes hormones regulating metabolism, affecting things like body temperature and energy levels. Problems arise if the thyroid is overactive or underactive.
The diagnosis of goiter starts with the patient's symptoms and medical history. During the physical examination, the doctor checks for swelling or nodules. Blood tests are then conducted to measure thyroid hormone levels. If necessary, imaging methods such as ultrasound and scintigraphy, and sometimes a fine needle aspiration biopsy, can be used to determine whether a nodule is benign or malignant.
The treatment for goitre varies depending on the type and severity of the thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism is typically managed through hormone replacement therapy. For hyperthyroidism, treatment options include medication, radioactive iodine therapy and surgery.

It supports the structure of many tissues, including skin, joints, muscles, tendons and bones, and is naturally produced in the body. However, its production decreases with age. This decrease can result in wrinkles, joint pain, and weakened connective tissue.
Consuming foods that naturally contain collagen is also very beneficial for increasing collagen production.
Foods rich in collagen:
• Bone broth: One of the most natural sources of collagen.
• Egg whites: Contain amino acids that support collagen production.
• Salmon and tuna: Rich in omega-3 and collagen.
• Green leafy vegetables: Contain antioxidants that support collagen production.
• Fruits rich in vitamin C (orange, strawberry, kiwi): Increase collagen synthesis.

Inflammation is the body's natural defence response to infection, injury or harmful substances. It is actually part of the healing process; the body uses this mechanism to repair damaged tissue and fight pathogens. However, uncontrolled or prolonged inflammation can pose a threat to our health.

Inflammation manifests itself through symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain and increased heat. There are two main types:
• Acute inflammation is a short-term, sudden response.
• Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, is a long-term condition that can lead to many health problems over time.

Chronic inflammation, in particular, is associated with heart disease, diabetes, and certain autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to keep inflammation under control.

Diet and lifestyle habits can directly affect inflammation. Foods rich in antioxidants and fibre, a diet heavy in fruits and vegetables, and regular physical activity can help balance the body's inflammation levels.

During sleep, the body regenerates itself, muscle tissue is repaired and hormone balance is maintained. Growth hormone, which is particularly important for muscle development, is produced in the highest quantities during sleep. Insufficient sleep can lead to muscle fatigue and a decline in performance. Quality sleep is essential for a strong immune system and endurance in sports. Furthermore, sleep deprivation can raise cortisol levels, increasing stress in the body and disrupting an individual's physical and mental balance.
