1, limit fat intake: fat is a substance that supplies heat energy and helps fat-soluble vitamins to absorb. Plasma cholesterol is excreted slowly during hypothyroidism, so the plasma cholesterol concentration is very high. The intake of fat should be limited to reduce the concentration of plasma cholesterol. Thyroid patients must pay attention to the intake of fat, not too much, so as not to be metabolized and lead to more serious diseases.
2. Supplementing iodized salt: In China, 1g potassium iodide is usually added to every 2 ~ 10kg of salt, which can prevent goiter and significantly reduce the incidence of hypothyroidism. This kind of iodized salt is very suitable for endemic goiter areas. Women of childbearing age should pay more attention to supplementing iodized salt to prevent future generations from suffering from cretinism due to maternal iodine deficiency. However, some patients with hypothyroidism are caused by excessive iodine intake, which cannot be generalized, and must be treated according to syndrome differentiation. Supplementary iodized salt can be taken not only from iodized salt, but also from iodized soy sauce, iodized bread, kelp and laver rich in iodine. Avoid eating Chinese cabbage, cabbage, rape, cassava, walnuts and other foods to avoid goiter. Patients with hypothyroidism can eat more foods containing iodine. Such as kelp, seaweed and Chinese cabbage, can reduce goiter and hypothyroidism.
3. Adequate supply of protein: Because patients with thyroid diseases need much more nutrients every day than normal people, we must pay attention to adequate supply of protein, which can promote metabolism and help patients with hypothyroidism recover in time. The amount of high-quality protein per person per day should be at least 20g, so as to maintain the balance of human protein. Once there is a decrease in protein, it is necessary to supplement essential amino acids and adequate protein to improve the condition. Therefore, we should eat more eggs, milk, meat and fish, and pay attention to the complementarity of plant protein and animal protein.
What should hypothyroidism patients pay attention to? Some common sense about diet is still very important. Must be used in conjunction with the above parts. Eating more iodine-containing foods and having a light diet can prevent and alleviate the symptoms of hypothyroidism, and also play a good role in promoting the recovery of the disease. These are all very important.
