Say goodbye to fat and stimulation! Hyperthyroidism diet has taboos

Hyperthyroidism is now a common disease. Many men know that one of the main causes of hyperthyroidism is excessive iodine intake. From this point of view, the treatment of hyperthyroidism is definitely closely related to daily diet. So, what foods should hyperthyroidism patients not eat in their daily lives?

1. Avoid eating fatty foods

Although hyperthyroidism patients have increased appetite, their digestive function is poor and nutrient absorption is poor. Therefore, they should avoid eating mutton, hen, dog meat, as well as greasy, fried and other foods to prevent phlegm and fire.

2. Avoid taking large amounts of iodine

Hyperthyroidism is not caused by iodine deficiency, so patients should avoid eating more marine fish, seaweed and other foods, because eating iodine-rich foods may cause hardening of the thyroid tissue. Although iodine-rich foods can slightly alleviate symptoms, they can prolong the course of hyperthyroidism and make it difficult to cure the enlarged lumps.

3. Pay attention to supplementing vitamins

Hyperthyroidism patients are very likely to suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In addition, hyperthyroidism itself and the use of antithyroid drugs in the treatment of hyperthyroidism cause a decrease in white blood cells, so they also need to increase vitamins and minerals.

4. Patients with hyperthyroidism should pay attention to increasing calorie supply

Sufficient carbohydrates should be given daily to correct excessive consumption. The daily energy supply of hyperthyroidism patients' diet is 12540~14630 kilojoules (3000~3500 kilocalories), which is 50%~75% higher than that of normal people, in order to meet the increased metabolic rate caused by excessive thyroid hormone secretion.

5. Avoid spicy food

Avoid irritating foods. Raw onions, garlic, and chili peppers are all highly irritating foods. Avoid giving them to highly excited hyperthyroid patients. Because most hyperthyroid patients have tachycardia, they should also avoid drinking all kinds of alcohol. This is the main dietary precaution for hyperthyroidism.
