High iodine foods such as kelp are not recommended for hyperthyroidism, while non-iodized salt is required.
Hyperthyroidism, or hyperthyroidism, causes the body to be in a state of high metabolism because the thyroid gland synthesizes and releases too much thyroid hormone. The high level of thyroid hormones in hyperthyroidism can cause a series of changes in the body, such as fear of heat, palpitations, excessive sweating, hyper appetite, diarrhea, or increased frequency of bowel movements.
Since iodine is the raw material for synthesizing thyroid hormones, hyperthyroid patients should avoid iodine-rich foods in their diets, including kelp, shrimp, seaweed, shellfish, and marine fish. Also consume non-iodized salt.
It is also recommended that patients with hyperthyroidism consume high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin foods to compensate for their consumption and improve the general nutritional status. Appropriately restrict foods containing much dietary fiber to avoid aggravating diarrhea.
After the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism should be timely to the hospital treatment, but also should cooperate with the doctor standardized treatment. For more information on the health of food, consult a nutritionist and consume scientifically and reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
