What are the dietary principles for patients with hyperthyroidism?

  1, high calorie (cereal): combined with clinical treatment needs and the patient’s eating situation, generally increased by 50%-70% compared to normal, each person can supply 3000-3500Kcal per day.  2, high vitamin (fruits and vegetables): mainly supplement B vitamins and vitamin C. 3, higher protein: appropriate increase in soy products such as tofu, mixed beans; meat, eggs, poultry and fish.  4, the right amount of minerals: mainly potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc. 5, avoid iodine: iodine is an important element in the synthesis of thyroxine, within the limits of a certain amount, the synthesis of thyroxine increases with the increase in the dose of iodine, if the dose exceeds the limit, it temporarily inhibits the synthesis and release of thyroxine, so that and human symptoms are rapidly relieved, but this inhibition is temporary. If you take high iodine food or medicine for a long time, the thyroid gland will “adapt” to the “inhibition” of iodine, and the synthesis of thyroxine will be accelerated again, and the accumulation of thyroxine in the thyroid gland will increase day by day. A large amount of accumulated thyroxine is released into the blood, causing the recurrence or aggravation of hyperthyroidism. At the same time, many tests for hyperthyroidism, such as iodine uptake rate and I131 treatment, require a ban on iodine.  Notes on diet for hyperthyroidism patients: 1. Eat less and more meals, and do not overeat. Avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol.  2.Supplement sufficient water, drink about 2500ml of water every day, avoid coffee, strong tea and other excitatory drinks.  3, appropriate control of high-fiber foods, especially when diarrhea.  4.Pay attention to the reasonable combination of nutrients.  5.Forbid to eat foods with high iodine content such as seaweed, sea fish and sea jelly skin. The iodine agent added to iodized salt is mainly potassium iodate and potassium iodide. The previously used potassium iodide has poor stability and is susceptible to decomposition. Since the late 1990s, potassium iodate has been used as the designated iodizing agent for iodized salt. According to experimental tests, prolonged stewing destroys less of the iodine in the qualified iodized salt. Other experiments have shown that sunlight exposure has little effect on potassium iodate salt. Even when exposed to sunlight for more than 100 hours, the loss of iodine is less than 5%. For those who want to eat non-iodized salt due to illness, do not “deiodize” iodized salt by yourself, which is currently available in some of Ningbo’s Sanjiang supermarkets such as Sanjiang on Huayan Street.  6. Eat foods rich in potassium and calcium.  7.After the disease is reduced, control the diet appropriately.  Nutritional composition of major foods: 1, cereals: carbohydrates and B vitamins 2, beans and products: high quality protein, low fat 3, vegetables, fruits: vitamin-rich.  4, milk and products: various nutrients except fiber 5, appropriate amount of meat and products: high quality protein, fat, B vitamins 6, appropriate amount of eggs and products: high quality protein, high methionine
