    Here's how you can get more iodine in your diet

    Iodine deficiency has become quite common these days. The is so because there are a very few good sources of iodine, more so, for vegetarians and vegans. The Recommended daily intake (RDI) is 150 mcg per day. Vegans/vegetarians should rely on iodized salt and plain yogurt. However, there are many good sources of iodine for non-vegetarians, such as shrimp, eggs, tuna, dried prunes, etc.
