The food you eat can affect your thyroid medication. They can slow the way your body absorbs the medicine and can affect how well it works.
1.Salt
Your thyroid needs iodine to function properly. Most of the human diet gets enough of this element from the diet, usually through fish and dairy products. Make sure you are using iodized table salt at home. You can tell by looking at the label on the product packaging.
2.Green leafy vegetables
Rau bina
Spinach, lettuce and many other vegetables are excellent sources of Magnesium, an important mineral that plays a huge role in the functioning of the body. Symptoms like fatigue, muscle cramps, and changes in your heart rate can be signs that you're not eating enough.
3. Nuts

Cashews, almonds and pumpkin seeds are excellent sources of iron. Nuts help your thyroid in two ways, not only are they a good source of iron, but they are also rich in selenium, another mineral that supports your thyroid. Just a little each day is enough for you to get enough selenium.

Fish, shrimp and seaweed are excellent sources of iodine. You need iodine for a healthy thyroid, but foods rich in iodine like kelp should be avoided. That could make your condition worse.

Possibly the top among superfoods. Kale is a mild goitrogen - in rare cases, it prevents the thyroid gland from getting enough iodine. But kale shouldn't be a problem for you unless you have very little iodine in your diet and you're eating large amounts of kale. This is also the case (to varying degrees) for cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.
6.Soybeans
Đậu nành
In rare cases, certain substances found in soy products such as soy milk can damage your thyroid's ability to make hormones, but only if you don't get enough iodine and eat a healthy diet. large amounts. Just like kale, if your iodine levels are fine, you probably don't need to worry about soy.
7. Organ meats
Thịt nội tạng
If you eat things like your kidneys, heart, or liver, you can get a lot of lipoic acid. You can also eat it as a supplement. But if you take too much, it can mess up your thyroid. Lipoic acid can also affect thyroid medications you take.
8.Gluten and Thyroid

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Unless you've been diagnosed with celiac disease, it probably won't affect your thyroid. Gluten can damage the small intestine of people with celiac disease. They may have other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's disease (resulting in an underactive thyroid) and Graves' disease (resulting in an overactive thyroid). If you have celiac disease, a gluten-free diet can help prevent these thyroid conditions.
9. Thyroid medicine and your food
