DIETARY RESTRICTIONS DURING HYPOTHYROIDISM
1. Iodine Intake
It's no secret that iodine is needed to produce thyroid hormone in your body. If you have hypothyroidism, diet should always include foods that are high in iodine.
You should make sure to use iodized salt instead of plain rock salt in cooking.
2. Water
You need to drink lots of water, at least 64 ounces or 8 glasses a day. Remember when you are dehydrated, your body stores more fat and making you gain more weight.
3. Fiber
Fiber is beneficial to you if you have hypothyroidism. Diets high in fiber will not only help you lose weight but also promote regularity in your bowel movement and can help lower your cholesterol. How does it make you lose weight? Fiber makes you feel full so it lessens your hunger levels, and will simply make you burn more calories. Most fruits and vegetables are high in fiber content.
4. Coconut Oil
It has been identified that consumption of coconut oil stimulates the production of thyroid hormone. It increases your metabolism and is considered as an energy booster but this should be taken in moderation, appropriate to your age and body structure.
5. Green Tea
Green tea helps you lose weight by raising your metabolism and also through fat oxidation. You can start drinking a cup of green tea everyday.
6. DIET RESTRICTIONS
Complete Restriction : Spinach (PAALAK) & COFFEE (coffee beans only)
Once a week (only) : Cabbage, Cauliflower, Soyabean (all products)
