Jod=I Iodin=I Jod=Iodin

And both have atomic number 53, so confirm la Jod itu adalah Iod aka Iodin.

Sebelum tu, terima kasih banyak2 dearies semua yg respon to my entry on Jod the other day hihi sweet tau uols especially Zonaku yang siap tanyakan kawan dia lagi. Hehehe

So, from further research memang confirm la yang Jod tu adalah Iod. Tapi pelik la jugak kan sebab selalu doctor bagi asid folic ker,vitamin abc xyz.. and tekankan pengambilan iron, ni firstime jugak la dengar doctor suruh ambil Iod, and I again googled.. here's what I got regarding Iod in pregnancy.

And of course, I will clarify with doctor in my next check up. That day I malas nak tanya banyak since communication barrier was the main problem, Insya Allah nextime dorang promise a doctor with better English to serve me, tapi I suka doctor perempuan tu....

How much iodine you need

Pregnant women: about 220 micrograms (mcg) of iodine per day

Breastfeeding women: about 290 mcg

You don't have to get the recommended amount of iodine every day. Instead, aim for that amount as an average over the course of a few days or a week.

Food sources of iodine

Iodine is found in dairy products, eggs, vegetables, seafood (especially ocean or saltwater seafood), and brewer's yeast. (The amount of iodine in many types of food varies according to the amount of iodine in the area's soil or water.)

Sea vegetables contain large amounts of iodine – sometimes too much for regular consumption, in fact. Kelp, for example, contains 1,986 mcg of iodine per tablespoon, which puts it above the tolerable upper intake level – the maximum amount considered safe by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine – of 1,100 mcg per day.

Good food sources of iodine include:

• 3 ounces cod: 99 mcg
• 1 cup low-fat yogurt: 87 mcg
• 1 tablespoon wakame (sea vegetable): 82 mcg
• 1 medium baked potato with skin: 60 mcg
• 1 cup milk: 56 mcg
• 1 sheet of nori (sea vegetable used in many types of sushi): 40 mcg
• 3 ounces shrimp: 35 mcg
• 2 fish sticks: 35 mcg
• 3 ounces turkey breast, baked: 34 mcg
• 1/2 cup cooked navy beans: 32 mcg
• 2 ounces mozzarella cheese: 20 mcg
• 3 ounces tuna, canned in oil: 17 mcg
• 1/2 cup strawberries: 6 mcg

(Note that 3 ounces of meat or fish is about the size of a deck of cards.)

Frankly speaking, I tak kisah sangat pun pasal zat galian ni semua coz I believe our body will tell us what we need and more. Contoh, I duk angau nak makan nasi lemak semua tu kan, pasai my body nakkan zat dari bilis tu ha. Konklusi nya, makan la apa yang nak makan asalkan berpada. Heh ayat...  I baru lepas pekena nasi panas´panas ngan gulai daging semalam tapi berpinggan tambah pasai tempoyak ngan kacang botor. Aduhhh tak larat nak gerak. Cik Eka la ni suka benor promote tempoyak :P
