Attention, friends! Stick to these 12 rules in your daily diet, and thyroid diseases will stay away from you.

Many synthetic chemicals have the highest content in meat fat and dairy products. The less meat and dairy products you eat, the less susceptible your body is to hormones that disrupt thyroid function. If you really like meat, but it doesn't hurt, then eat less and eat only a small part of it every meal.

Eat more low-calorie dietary fiber.

This kind of food includes vegetables, fruits, beans, plant seeds and sprouts. Foods with high dietary fiber content (such as dried plums and prune juice) can promote normal intestinal peristalsis, and adequate intestinal peristalsis plays a key role in maintaining thyroid function. Slow intestinal peristalsis will lead to the accumulation of toxins in the intestine, causing thyroid dysfunction.

Eat more vegetarian food.

People with thyroid dysfunction should shop in health food stores, where there are various non-animal protein sources, including avocados, olives, nuts and tofu.

Chew nuts

For people with unstable blood sugar and metabolic function, eating a small amount of nuts every 2-3 hours can ensure adequate protein supply and balance hormone levels.

Read the label on the food package carefully.

A general rule that can be used for reference is that if you don't know how to pronounce the words of various ingredients on food packaging, you'd better not eat them. Preservatives used to prolong the shelf life of food will cause metabolic dysfunction.

Don't miss breakfast.

After a whole night's sleep, the body needs to replenish energy. For many thyroid patients, eating a small amount of food evenly throughout the day, rather than eating and drinking, is most beneficial to metabolic function.

Remove CATS food.

CATS food is the acronym of caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and sugar, which will lead to metabolic disorder in people with abnormal thyroid function. It should be noted that chocolate contains xanthine, which is similar to caffeine and is not suitable for eating more.

Growing fruits and vegetables at home does not require chemicals.

For those who like to grow fruits and vegetables in their gardens, they should use less chemical pesticides and more natural methods to control pests and diseases.

Remove the substance that causes goiter.

Some foods containing goiter-causing substances will adversely affect thyroid function. You need to cook them thoroughly, or eat only a small amount of these foods, or avoid them completely. This kind of food includes soybean, some cruciferous vegetables (such as cauliflower and broccoli), rape, Brassica, etc.

Cook food with good quality oil.

Compared with hydrogenated vegetable oils used in many processed foods, olive oil and coconut oil contain healthier fats. Nutritionists strongly advise people to avoid eating hydrogenated oils, because they will disturb metabolic function.

Avoid artificial sweeteners

Try to avoid using artificial chemicals such as aspartame to add flavor to food, because they will disturb the metabolic function of the human body. Many clinical patients have obviously improved after giving up using artificial sweeteners.

Stay away from stimulants

Prescription stimulants and natural stimulants are harmful to thyroid function. Some components in energy drinks (such as ephedra, taurine and tripterygium wilfordii) can temporarily promote metabolic function, but have no benefit to failed glands and organs.
