The diet of hypothyroidism needs to realize that the etiology of hypothyroidism itself is different from various complications caused by hypothyroidism, and hypothyroidism cannot be blindly supplemented. Generally, in the absence of other complications, the diet of hypothyroidism is mainly high in calories and protein. If there are cardiovascular complications, the diet of hypothyroidism should pay attention to reducing the intake of meat fat and protein, because hypothyroidism will lead to complications such as hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. Here is a brief introduction to hypothyroidism diet.
Avoid eating foods that cause goiter: Do not eat Chinese cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, rape, cassava, walnuts and other foods to avoid goiter.
Nutrient-rich: To supplement enough protein and limit the intake of fat and cholesterol, you should eat more high-calorie and digestible foods, such as eggs, milk, meat, fish, coriander, apricots, dates and dried plums.
Protein is sufficient: Only when the mass of protein per person per day exceeds 20G, can the human protein balance egg be maintained. Amino acids are the basic components of protein, and about 3% of protein is constantly updated every day. During hypothyroidism, the renewal rate of intestinal mucosa slows down, the secretion glands of digestive juice are affected, the enzyme activity decreases, and the general albumin decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement essential amino acids and protein to improve the condition.
Correct anemia and supplement rich vitamins: patients with anemia should be supplemented with iron-rich diet, vitamin B 12, such as animal liver and folic acid, and liver preparations if necessary.
Iodine supplementation: In addition to iodized salt, hypothyroidism patients can also take it from iodine soy sauce, iodine bread, and iodine-rich kelp and laver.
Restricting fat and high cholesterol diet: Patients with hypothyroidism are often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, which is more obvious in primary hypothyroidism. Fat diet should be restricted. The daily fat supply accounts for about 20% of the total calories, and the diet rich in cholesterol is restricted.
Hypothyroidism diet is particularly important, but treatment is inevitable. We suggest that we should treat the disease in time, pay more attention to rest, and don't have too much mental stress.
