What are the considerations of diet for hyperthyroidism patients?

  Hyperthyroidism is a hypermetabolic disease, which generally leads to excessive body consumption and nutritional deficiency, so the corresponding nutrients should be supplemented.  2.Increase protein supply: Hyperthyroidism can lead to increased protein decomposition, so protein supply should be increased, because animal protein has stimulating excitatory effect, so plant protein such as soybean is the main supplement.  3.Increase the supply of vitamins: Eat more foods rich in vitamin B1, B2 and vitamin C (such as fresh green leafy vegetables), eat animal offal appropriately, and supplement vitamin preparations if necessary.  4. Mineral supplementation: Increase the intake of minerals (such as potassium, calcium and phosphorus), especially for patients with diarrhea.  5. Restrict dietary fiber: Hyperthyroidism patients have enhanced gastrointestinal motility and often have symptoms of increased bowel movements or diarrhea, so foods with more dietary fiber should be restricted.  6. Low iodine foods and drugs: Iodine is the raw material for synthesizing thyroid hormone, so foods containing high iodine such as seaweed, sea fish, kelp, hairy vegetables, shrimp, etc. should be consumed less.  7, reduce the consumption of spicy stimulating food: such as chili, ginger, onion, garlic, etc.
