In daily life, many people have thick necks. For example, there is a saying in our country: "If you have a big head and a thick neck, you are either a boss or a cook."

But are all thick necks normal?

This may not be the case.

For example, typical goiter, in addition to a thick neck, is often accompanied by general weakness, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, psychological stress, etc. The main reason is iodine deficiency, or goiter caused by a certain enzyme defect in the body.

.

This phenomenon is also known as "big neck disease", especially in areas with severe iodine deficiency.

But if your neck suddenly becomes thicker and thicker, you cannot ignore it. For some areas, if the iodine content in the air, soil, and daily diet is very low, and the daily intake of iodine is insufficient, the iodine content will also increase over time.

Dangers of goiter.

If you have this condition, you should stay away from these foods as soon as possible to avoid worsening the condition.

1. Potatoes, also called potatoes, are one of the vegetables that people eat every day. Because of their good taste, they are also made into potato chips, potato cubes, snacks, etc. Many people also like to eat mashed potatoes.

But if you have goiter, you should stay away from this kind of food.

Potatoes contain hydrogenated compounds. After their amino sugars are absorbed by the body, they will produce a component called thiocyanate, which has a certain inhibitory effect on the thyroid structure. Eating too much will prevent the thyroid gland from absorbing iodine, which is not beneficial to the condition.

2. Spicy and irritating foods. If you have inflammation or swelling in a certain part, such as thyroid enlargement, it is not recommended that you eat spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, vine peppers, pickled peppers, etc., which can easily stimulate the thyroid gland in the body.

Hormone secretion may even aggravate one's own condition.

In addition, you must also pay attention to foods rich in caffeine, such as coffee or tea. It is better to drink less or not as soon as possible, and stay away from tobacco and alcohol.

3. Cruciferous foods, typical turnips, also called cabbage, also contain hydrogenated compounds. This substance will affect the secretion of thyroid hormones and the synthesis of thyroid hormones to a certain extent, thereby aggravating the condition, especially

Patients with larger swelling areas need to be more vigilant.

Of course, you don’t have to eat forever. If your condition has improved after actively cooperating with the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment, or it has been a long time, then you can ask the doctor for advice. If possible, it is okay to eat less. Everyone treats it scientifically.

That’s it, don’t lose the big for the small.
