In recent years, studies have found that excessive iodine intake has a certain relationship with intelligence. The survey results show that the intelligence of students in high iodine areas is lower than that of students in suitable iodine areas because of long-term excessive iodine intake. At the same time, researchers have done the same experiment on animals, and excessive iodine load will make the animal's brain lighter. Students who use too much iodine will have adverse reactions such as decreased learning and memory.
Fruits and vegetables are not rich in iodine, only seafood such as kelp and laver, or sea fish, seafood and sea crabs are rich in iodine. Patients with thyroid gland, such as hyperthyroidism, should ban iodine diet, such as kelp and laver, and try not to eat it.
At the same time, like some western medicine ingredients, such as amiodarone, try to avoid it. In addition, some traditional Chinese medicines, such as seaweed and oysters, should be avoided as much as possible, and other fresh fruits and vegetables can be eaten normally.
At the same time, like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, we should avoid the misunderstanding that food contains iodine. All kinds of food should be eaten normally, but excessive consumption of kelp and seaweed should be avoided. Normal consumption is no problem, and fruits and vegetables are not rich in iodine.
Low iodine components include:
1, various starchy ingredients, such as white rice, fresh noodles, steamed bread, sweet potato vermicelli, potatoes, wax gourd, etc. ;
2, animal ingredients, such as beef and mutton, raw pork, all kinds of freshwater fish. ;
3. All kinds of fruits and edible materials containing calcium and phosphorus, such as milk, dried fruits and live fish.
Iodine is an essential trace element for human body, so it is necessary to eat food containing iodine in moderation in daily life to ensure the normal supply of human body. However, some patients need to ban iodine intake, such as hyperthyroidism patients, and should strictly limit iodine intake, including seafood.
Some patients are short of iodine and need iodine supplementation. For example, patients with hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer need iodine supplementation, and they can eat iodine-containing foods normally without limiting iodine intake.
