OCTOBER 10, 2024 FOOD FOR THE THYROID

For years I have been talking about keeping your thyroid healthy . The thyroid gland needs the support of foods rich in zinc, selenium, copper, Vtiamin B12 and iodine Incorporating specific foods into the diet can provide essential nutrients to support and enhance thyroid function.

Nuts are a great source of selenium for the thyroid . There are two nuts you should consume—Brazil nuts and Waknuts. Walnuts are a powerhouse of essential nutrients, particularly selenium, that are integral for optimal thyroid function. Selenium acts as a catalyst in the production of thyroid hormones and helps protect the thyroid gland from oxidative stres. If you have an autoimmune thyroiditis, called Hashimo9to’s thyroiditis - I suggest cinsuning one brazil nut per day ( and discontinue any gluten from your dietary lifestyle )

The second foods you need to consume are seaweed and fish Both are rich in iodine. Seaweed, a natural source of iodine, is crucial for the production of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency is a common issue, especially in areas where the natural iodine content in food is low. Seaweed offers a rich, natural source of this essential element, supporting the thyroid in hormone production and regulation.

The last food that everyone should consume are blueberries and other berries Berries are celebrated for their antioxidant-rich content, making them a preferred choice for combating oxidative stress and supporting thyroid health. Varieties such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries abound with vitamins and antioxidants that aid in protecting the thyroid gland

So you need to change your dietary lifdestyle to support your thyroid

Until tomorrow….
