If you’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism or are at risk of developing it due to family history or other factors, you may want to consider taking a closer look at what’s on your plate. Diet can play a big role in helping your condition or making it worse, so deciding what to eat and what to skip can make all the difference in your condition.
Diet plays an important role in managing hypothyroidism
Goitrogenic foods can interfere with the thyroid’s absorption of iodine and production of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and lead to an enlarged thyroid – a condition known as goiter, further worsening your thyroid problems.
Hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid can result from an autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, medications, surgical removal of the thyroid, or even radiation therapy. When the thyroid is underactive, the gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones to support normal body functions, resulting in weight gain, feeling tired easily, dry skin, feeling cold, forgetfulness, and even depression.
