Are Your Ready To Uncover The Secrets To Living a Healthier, More Energized Life?
Today, more than ever it is important to educate yourself about the
value of good nutrition and healthy eating to support your thyroid.
A natural thyroid diet places an emphasis on consuming a wide
variety of fresh, natural foods that supply an array of nutrients to
support healthy thyroid activity.
Here are some general guidelines;
- Up your intake of iodine-rich foods. Iodine is an
essential component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and
triiodothyronine (T3). Concentrated food sources of iodine include sea
vegetables.
- Cook your brassica vegetables for six to seven
minutes. These vegetables contain ‘goitrogens’ which prevent the use of
iodine. Goitrogens are found in broccoli, sweet potato, cabbage,
cauliflower, turnips, brussel sprouts and mustard greens. Cooking
inactivates the thyroid inhibiting effect.
- Avoid soy foods, and processed soy ingredients.
You need to check the ingredient list on the food labels to find out if a
food item contains some type of soy ingredient.
- Avoid soy oil which is often labelled as
‘vegetable oil’. This makes it sound healthy but it is far from
nutritious. The term vegetable oil can describe soy oil, Canola oil and
palm oil, or even a mixture of these oils which are harmful to the
thyroid.
- Eat selenium-rich foods such as asparagus, Brazil
nuts, grains, garlic and mushrooms. Selenium assists activation of
thyroid hormones.
- Eat foods that provide a plentiful supply of zinc
such as oysters and pumpkin seeds. Zinc is a necessary nutrient to
assist healthy thyroid activity.
- Avoid trans fats or ‘plastic fats’ found in
margarine, TV dinners, bakery foods, commercially prepared snack foods
and deep fried food. These very unhealthy fats are very damaging to the
thyroid cell membranes.
