Dr.Fevzi Özgönül talked about what hypothyroid patients, that is, patients with underactive thyroid or thyroid surgery, should do, what they should consume and what they should stay away from. Dr. Özgönül, 'Since vitamin B1 reduces thyroid hormones, stay away from foods with high vitamin B1 content such as bran, brewer's yeast, rice, corn, rye. 'said.
Thyroid hormones are like the conductor of the entire endocrine system. In cases of insufficient secretion of this hormone, its dysfunction due to various reasons, and the loss of this organ with the thyroid surgeon, the body cannot be restructured because other hormones cannot work in coordination. A well-known fact emerges and hypothyroid patients begin to get fat and gain weight. For this reason, people whose thyroid functions do not work well are very inclined to gain weight.
It is imperative that people with this type of disease are under the control of an endocrinologist. However, since there are not enough endocrine specialists for all patients in our country, if you live in regions where there are no internal medicine specialists or even no specialists, your family doctor can easily undertake your controls. The important thing in such cases is to adjust your drug use in the light of thyroid function tests by following some world-recognized drug protocols.
Because, unfortunately, it seems impossible to live a healthy life by eating only without thyroid medication support. Even a doctor like me who is very anti-drug can't stand against medication when it comes to thyroid.
Here are the 10 rules that people with thyroid disease should follow:
1- We should stay away from floury and sugary foods.
2- We should not eat very sweet fruits, even with meals.
3- We should stay away from acidic drinks such as cola, sugary drinks, ready-made fruit juices, fruit sodas, drinks containing sweeteners and high-caffeine drinks. So our thirst will come back and we will be someone who can drink the water.
4- Since we already have a lazy body and a lazy digestive system, we should try to stay away from snacks. If we need a snack, we can choose liquid foods such as milk, buttermilk, yoghurt that do not start the digestion again.
5-The most important support of a lazy body is regular exercises. For this reason, if you do not want to gain weight, you should definitely pay attention to exercises and especially the walks you will take before dinner in the evening.
Follow your 6-B12 vitamin, if it is found to be deficient, make sure to complete it.
7- Eat a diet rich in animal and vegetable proteins.
8- Since vitamin B1 reduces thyroid hormones, stay away from foods with high vitamin B1 content such as bran, brewer's yeast, rice, corn, rye.
9- Have your Selenium level measured in the blood. Selenium is helpful in cases of thyroid insufficiency.
10- Take care to eat cooked vegetables at meals, if there is constipation, it is important to take vegetables to prevent constipation, as digestion will be impaired. In addition, bilberry and flaxseed are supplements that can be used in constipation.
