Nutrition Tips for Hypothyroidism
In addition to the thyroid supplements your doctor has prescribed, you can use the foods you eat to help ease the symptoms of thyroid disease.• Eat foods high in vitamin B and iron. Foods like grains, vegetables and liver will help stimulate underactive thyroids.• Avoid refined foods such as white sugar, white flour, white breads and white pastas.• Eat fewer red meats. Choose nutrient rich foods like fresh fish, nuts, whole grains and lean meat. Avoid processed meats and excessive soy products which may interfere with medications.• Drink plenty of water.• Take a multivitamin like Grandma’s Herb Thyroid.
