Kelp is not recommended for people with hyperthyroidism.
Kelp is a common food that is rich in iodine, which is one of the raw materials for synthesizing thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease caused by high levels of thyroid hormones in the body and hypermetabolism. If hyperthyroidism patients eat kelp, it can promote the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which will aggravate the condition of hyperthyroidism patients, so hyperthyroidism patients are not recommended to eat kelp.
In addition to kelp, it is also not recommended that hyperthyroid patients eat seaweed, seafood and other iodine-rich foods. Patients with hyperthyroidism need to maintain a high-calorie, high-protein, high-vitamin diet due to increased body consumption, and can eat eggs, rice, dairy products, and a variety of vegetables, fruits and so on.
If hyperthyroid patients are not clear about dietary taboos, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
