More iodine won't do you any good without plenty of Vitamin A to go with it. Vitamin A helps your thyroid absorb iodine properly. Getting enough is easy. It's abundant in orange vegetables like sweet potatoes. In fact, a single, mid-sized sweet potato gives you 1,096 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin A, more than the 900 mcg a day the government recommends for men over 50, or the 700 mcg suggested for older women. Sweet potatoes are heart-friendly, too, with no saturated fat or cholesterol, but lots of vitamin C.
