This is because iodized salt contains more iodine, and normal people can prevent goiter, that is, neck disease. However, if they are hyperthyroidism, they secrete more thyroid hormones and eat too much iodized salt, the iodine content in their bodies will exceed the standard, which may aggravate their condition. Therefore, patients with thyroid nodules and hyperthyroidism should eat non-iodized salt.

Second, avoid foods with high iodine.

Patients with thyroid nodules and hyperthyroidism should try to eat less or not to eat iodine-containing foods, and at the same time must avoid high-iodine foods, such as the following:

1. Undaria pinnatifida: the iodine content is 15878 μ g/ 100g.

2. Porphyra: 4323 μ g/100g

3. Kelp: 923 μ g/100g.

4. Sea red: 346 μ g/100g.

5. Shrimp skin: 265 μ g/ 100g.

Third, avoid high iodine drugs and cosmetics.

Patients with nodular hyperthyroidism should not use high iodine drugs and cosmetics: amiodarone, iodine, iodine-containing vitamins, throat tablets and contrast agents are prohibited. Cosmetics such as facial cleanser and facial mask containing seaweed ingredients should also be avoided.

Fourth, avoid spicy stimulation.

Patients with hyperthyroidism are easily flustered, afraid of heat and easily excited, so it is best to avoid spicy food, strong tea, strong coffee and other irritating foods to prevent the above symptoms from getting worse. At the same time, spicy food is not conducive to the recovery of thyroid nodules.

Fifth, ensure adequate nutrition.

Patients with thyroid nodules and hyperthyroidism should ensure adequate nutrition supply: patients with hyperthyroidism have accelerated metabolism, so they are prone to symptoms such as hunger and emaciation. Be sure to ensure the staple food, and at the same time pay attention to diversification, thickness matching, not partial eclipse. At the same time, it should be accompanied by the intake of meat, eggs, milk and fruits and vegetables. But pay attention to prevent blood sugar from being too high.
