hyperthyroidism diet guide

three highs and one less: high protein, high energy, high vitamins, limited iodine intake

after hyperthyroidism occurs, iodine intake should be limited. iodine is an element of unique physiological significance that participates in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. studies have found that the incidence of hyperthyroidism in residents in areas with excessive iodine is twice that of those in areas with appropriate iodine. the iodine content in the human thyroid gland is 20% of the total body volume. most of the iodine ingested by the human body is reduced to iodide in the gastrointestinal tract and then absorbed. excessive accumulation of iodine itself in the body or large amounts of intake will accelerate the synthesis of thyroid hormones and may also induce and aggravate hyperthyroidism. therefore, the intake of high-iodine foods and iodine-containing drugs should be limited. various iodine-containing contrast agents should also be used with caution.

high iodine foods include: dried wakame, kelp, seaweed, laver, sea cucumber, dried shrimp, jellyfish, etc.
