Many people in the discovery of the thyroid nodules, will think of controlling their own diet, such as reducing the intake of iodine. After all, in the last century, the publicity of patients with neck disease is written next to the word "iodine", which makes a lot of people have a very deep impact.

This is not the case either, as technology advances, more and more tiny nodules can be detected by accurate testing equipment and treated in a timely manner, but not all thyroid nodules are associated with excessive iodine intake. In order to cause unnecessary dietary conflicts, patients with nodules should be aware of what is causing their nodules, so that they can "treat the symptoms". The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good diet and that you are not eating too much seafood.

1, stimulating foods, such as alcohol, chili peppers

The thyroid gland is very susceptible to stimulation, once the stimulating food stimulation to the thyroid gland, will lead to the body health affected. Patients who often eat irritating foods, such as alcohol, chili peppers and other foods, can lead to abnormal secretion of thyroid hormones.

2, high-fat food, such as fried, fried food

People's bodies need fat to produce heat, high-fat food is a better choice, but if you eat greasy food for a long time, the body's fat is full of fat, easy to cause obesity and a variety of diseases, but also affects the secretion of hormones by the thyroid gland, resulting in the production of nodules .

Thyroid nodules can actually be divided into many types. Some are simply nodules that do not adversely affect thyroid function and can be properly consumed with iodine-containing foods such as crab, shrimp, and shellfish, which have relatively low iodine content. People in this category will not have any effect on their body if they can avoid the above 2 types of food intake and also reduce cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and broccoli.

If you have hyperthyroidism at the time you are found to have a thyroid nodule, it is important to strictly control the amount of iodine in your diet. Hyperthyroidism is caused by excess iodine, and long-term consumption of iodine-containing foods can lead to worsening of hyperthyroidism and damage to the thyroid follicles.
