Thyroid conditions do tend to be hereditary. However, one of the most common causes of thyroid problems is having a lack of iodine in your daily diet. Including iodinized salt in your daily diet is important because it can help prevent thyroid conditions such as a goiter. A goiter is inflammation of the thyroid gland, also known as the thyroid gland becoming enlarged. Worldwide, the most common cause of a goiter is due to a lack of iodine in our daily diet.

Primary hypothyroidism is caused by a problem with the thyroid gland itself that produces a low amount of thyroid hormone.Secondary hypothyroidism occurs when another problem interferes with the thyroid's ability to produce hormones.
