Thyroid Health How Important Is Your Diet?

• Chances are, you knew you had a problem with your
  thyroid and it took a little while for your blood
  work to catch up to the inevitable. We know our
  bodies better than anyone else, and thyroid
  health is often one of those conditions that have
  us feeling a little frumpier, perhaps putting on
  weight or having the inability to lose it. We
  might notice our thyroid health, or lack thereof,
  effecting things like our hair or bowel
  movements. 
• The lucky ones are sometimes given a
  prescription to help regulate all things, and
  the rest is history, or is it? Most people arent
  that fortunate, and in some cases the medical
  route is not always the way people want to go. 
• The good news is however, that thyroid health can
  be manipulated with diet from mild to more severe
  cases.

Symptoms of Poor Thyroid Health

• Fatigue
• Sensitivity to the Cold
• Constipation
• Dry Skin
• Weight Gain
• Puffy Face Appearance 
• Muscle Weakness 
• .and others. 
• In the event you are experiencing these symptoms
  and have yet to see the doctor, you may consider
  trying some of the suggested foods below, as you
  may be able to notice a difference before that
  appointment even rolls around. Please know that I
  am by no means wanting to deter you from seeing
  your doctor, but these are natural adjustments
  you can make that could potentially have you
  seeing positive changes on your own. 
• Untreated, an underactive thyroid not only can
  make you feel lousy, it can also harm your
  health. People with untreated hypothyroidism
  are at greater risk for developing a goiteran
  enlargement of the thyroid gland. If a goiter
  grows large enough, it can cause problems
  swallowing or breathing. (www.healthguides.com)

Cruciferous vegetables

• Consider consuming these raw, cooked or even
  juiced (or blended). Amongst the many known
  benefits of cruciferous vegetables they rank as
  the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.
  There have been some suggestions that these
  vegetables are not good for those who suffer from
  poor thyroid health, however, this is only true
  in the event that there are very low levels of
  iodine in the body. 
• Cruciferous Vegetables include 
• Arugula
• Bok Choy
• Broccoli
• Brussel Sprouts
• Cabbage
• Cauliflower
• Collard Greens
• Kale
• Mustard greens
• Radish
• Turnip
• Watercress
• Brazil Nuts
• These are the richest dietary source of selenium,
  which is essential in converting thyroxine to its
  active form, T3. You need selenium for
  glutathione production to help decrease thyroid
  antibodies. A suggested serving in a small
  handful 3-5 nuts, every day.

Sea Vegetables

• Remember that concern for low iodine mentioned
  above? Sea vegetables to the rescue! Sea
  vegetables are rich in iodine. Iodine attaches to
  tyrosine (an amino acid) to form thyroxine.
  Having enough iodine in your diet is important to
  limit the ability of thyroid hormones which can
  inhibit thyroid function. 
• Sea Vegetables include 
• Nori
• Kelp
• Hijiki
• Kombu
• Wakame
• Arame
• Dulse
• Chlorophyll
• You might consider consuming a shot of
  chlorophyll every morning, or I might suggest
  foods that are also rich in this area
• Dark, leafy greens especially spinach, kale,
  chard collards
• Fresh herbs like parsley, dill and cilantro
• Sprouts
• Wheatgrass
• Matcha whole leaf green tea
• Green vegetables fruit like peas, asparagus,
  broccoli, grapes celery

Two Foods You NEED to Avoid for Thyroid Health

• Gluten! Stay away! The molecular structure of
  gliadin, the protein portion of gluten, closely
  resembles that of the thyroid gland. When gliadin
  breaches the protective barrier of the gut, and
  enters the bloodstream, the immune system tags it
  for destruction. These antibodies to gliadin also
  cause the body to attack thyroid tissue. This
  means if you have AITD and you eat foods
  containing gluten, your immune system will attack
  your thyroid. (mind, body, green) 
• Soy Protein Isolate  BIG no no! This means no
  junky soy foods like soy cheese, soy yogurt,
  energy bars with soy protein isolate, soy burgers
  and soy-based meats. There are mixed reviews
  overall on soy protein, but there are too many
  relationships between that two (2) that it is
  recommended to avoid the confusion and/or
  likelihood and stay away. 
• Lastly, manage your stress, eat clean and
  consider the right types of supplements (in the
  event your diet lacks the necessities) to help
  prevent, manage and restore your thyroid health.
