FRONT: [thyroid image only] BACK: FACT: The thyroid is a gland located in your neck that has a butterfly shape to it. It does so much that without it working properly you could have many health issues. It can regulate body temperature, help with digestion, and converts nutrients into energy. The thyroid secretes three different hormones: thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and calcitonin. These hormones can affect metabolism, your bones, and every cell in your body. Stress is a major factor when it comes to the health of your thyroid, so make sure to practice activities that lower your stress level as often as possible. * Blank Inside * Card size: 5x7 * Color of envelope will vary!
