In daily life, patients with hypothyroidism should choose a low-sodium, low-fat diet, eat more food containing crude fiber, such as celery, apples, etc., in order to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and learn to chew slowly and eat small meals. In addition, if the hypothyroidism is caused by iodine overdose, it is also necessary to limit the patient’s iodine intake.
