The use of iodine against radioactivity is a strategy used to prevent injuries caused by nuclear radiation and, therefore, all individuals who have been exposed to this type of radiation must take 1 capsule of iodine daily, under medical guidance.
The use of iodine is important because when the body does not find enough iodine in the diet it seeks the iodine present in the radiation, but this type of radioactive iodine is bad for your health and can lead to thyroid disease and even cancer. The purpose of taking iodine is to make sure that the thyroid does not need to absorb more iodine, because its reserves are full.
