What are the best vegetables and fruits to eat for thyroid disease

Except for iodine-containing foods, which should be eaten differently, there is no such thing as “what vegetables and fruits are the best” for patients with thyroid disorders, and it is enough to eat them wisely. There is a wide range of thyroid diseases, including non-toxic goiter, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. For thyroid disorders, special attention should be paid to iodine intake in the diet. Take non-toxic goiter as an example, generally no special treatment is needed. For non-toxic goiter caused by iodine deficiency, more iodine-containing foods can be consumed in daily life, such as seaweed and other seafood. For people with hyperthyroidism, they should not take too much iodine supplementation and need to reduce the intake of products such as kelp or not to eat foods with high iodine content such as kelp. For thyroiditis and other diseases, foods containing more iodine should be consumed in small amounts, and vegetables and fruits rich in water and vitamin C can be supplemented, such as fresh dates, kiwi, papaya, lemons, oranges, lychees and other fruits, and vegetables such as leafy greens, kale, and green peppers. Since vegetables and fruits are not medications, people with thyroid disorders need to be treated with medication or surgery to avoid delays.
