8. Missy Elliot

This legendary rap artist famously came forward about her struggle with Grave’s disease, a thyroid disorder that causes bulging of the eyes and swelling of the neck.

The disease also affects motor skills, and at times Missy struggled just with holding the pen in her hand. She also spoke about her problems while driving, causing a few near-accidents that could have claimed her life. After taking on a radiation therapy and increased her gym time, she says she’s been feeling much better . Since then, things have started to look better and better and now she even talks of returning in the celeb world.

Although there are no specific diets and foods that will change thyroid function, but the healthier foods consumed, the better the body will fight against infection and further development of the disease.
