How To Eat if I get thyroid disease?
Many patients with goiter have asked for green life. I have a thyroid nodule. What should I eat? After I saw it on the Internet, I was still confused and the information was chaotic. Such as: Can you eat spicy? Do you want to avoid polyiodinated food? Can you drink alcohol? Do you want to add calories, protein, and vitamins? In fact, netizens can see a lot of answers on the Internet, but it seems that there is no one that suits you or is impossible to follow.
How should I eat?
The answer to Green Life is to follow your own habits. For example, Hunan people are very spicy, and Fujian people are less spicy. If you have thyroid disease, how can you give these two people the same answer, should you eat spicy? All our answers are, keep the original eating habits, eat spicy or stimulating food, eat less! Some netizens immediately asked about drinking? Smoking? The answer to Green Life is to drink less and take less!
Why is this so?
Goiter is an endocrine disease, and green life often says it is an emotional illness. When the patient is stressed or unhappy, the neck will be harder and larger. The patient itself is uncomfortable, and when he is eating, he thinks about it, thinks about it, and fears it, which is totally unhelpful for the patient's recovery. So green life advice, rest assured to eat! After rest assured, you can be safe, peace of mind, before treatment (whether it is the treatment of Chinese and Western medicine), after treatment, can be cured!
There are many websites that say that they need to supplement nutrition.
We have seen many websites saying that they have to add protein, eat chicken, fish, supplement nutrition, and even some patients buy a lot of expensive Cordyceps. The answer to Green Life is to look at the patient's own situation, which varies from person to person. If the patient is in the early stages of rehabilitation, Green Life does not recommend that the patient supplement the nutrition. Because the patient's endocrine imbalance is not absorbed, the green life is recommended to eat a little easier and slowly recover. The old man often said that ‘virtual is not to make up’ is the reason.
No food to avoid?
Yes, Green Life recommends avoiding eating soy beans, especially soy milk. The more fresh soy or soy milk, the less you can eat. In fact, there have been a lot of studies in foreign countries. The protein of soybeans will worsen the enlargement of the thyroid gland and increase the nodules. So Green Life suggested that the patient think of our reminder, if you are drinking soy milk, spit it out. Immediately, some patients asked, what about the tofu or other products with soy beans? Green Life's answer is that tofu has been added with other substances, soy products are also diluted, as long as it is not eaten every day, there is no big problem.
Are there other foods to avoid?
No, just the same. Easy to remember! However, the chickens on the Internet, Green Life still want to appeal, patients try to eat less. The reason is that many chickens may have hormones for rapid growth. The thyroid patient is originally a hormone imbalance, and then eat some hormone-bearing chicken or problematic fish, isn't it a plug for your recovery?
Sorry, I saw some answers on the Internet, and I couldn’t help but say a few more words. There are deficiencies, please correct me. A friend who has a problem can ask us or pay attention to our ‘green life’.
