Diet for hyperthyroid patients Excessive secretion of thyroid hormones in hyperthyroidism promotes the metabolism of three major nutrients, namely, essence, fat and protein, and accelerates oxidation. The body’s heat production and heat dissipation increase significantly, and the basal metabolic rate increases abnormally, so the energy must be increased every day to correct the energy consumption in the body. For these reasons, the diet of hyperthyroid patients must pay attention to high calorie, high protein, high vitamin and supplementation of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and magnesium to correct the consumption caused by hypermetabolism. Improve the general condition. (1) Three high, one forbidden and one moderate; refers to high calorie, high protein, high vitamin diet, avoid iodine diet and moderate supplementation of calcium and phosphorus, etc. 1) Increase calorie supply; sufficient carbohydrates should be given daily to correct overconsumption, daily energy supply of 12,540-14,630 dry joules (3,000-3,500 kcal), 50%-75% more than normal, to meet the increased metabolic rate caused by excessive thyroxine secretion. 2) Ensure protein supply; supply 15 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, but animal protein should be limited. 3) Pay attention to vitamin supply is appropriate to supply the main rich multivitamins, because of high metabolic energy consumption and consumption of a large number of enzymes, a variety of water-soluble vitamin deficiency, especially B vitamins, vitamin D is to ensure intestinal calcium, phosphorus absorption of the main vitamin, should ensure supply, while (4) Appropriate supply of calcium and phosphorus; to prevent osteoporosis and pathological fractures, the supply of calcium and phosphorus should be increased, especially for patients whose symptoms cannot be controlled for a long time and the elderly. (5) Avoid iodine foods and drugs; iodine is the raw material for synthesizing thyroid hormones, and the presence of a large amount of iodine in the thyroid gland accelerates the formation of thyroid hormones, thus iodine can trigger hyperthyroidism and aggravate the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Therefore, food containing iodine and drugs containing iodine should be avoided. All kinds of iodine-containing contrast agents should also be used with caution. (2) Increase the number of meals; (3) Meal preparation 1) Suitable food: According to the patient’s usual diet, a variety of starchy foods, such as rice, noodles, steamed bread, vermicelli, potatoes, pumpkin, etc.; a variety of animal foods, such as beef, pork, mutton, various fish, etc.; a variety of fresh fruits and foods rich in calcium and phosphorus, such as milk, nuts, fresh fish, etc. When low potassium, more oranges and apples can be chosen. 2) Avoid choosing foods; avoid iodine-containing foods, such as kelp, nori, hairy vegetables, iodized salt, etc. Chinese medicines such as mushroom Kun-shi, seaweed, Xia Gu Cao, Dan Shen, Yuan Shen, Xiang Shen, Zhe Bei, etc. also belong to the Bureau with. 3) pay attention to the sexual taste function of food from the point of view of Chinese medicine, food straight selection has the effect of nourishing Yin, such as turtle, turtle, water duck mother, etc., eat less warm, spicy and stimulating food.
