Foods for Hypothyroidism
If you have put on weight and are feeling low and sluggish because of your hypothyroidism you need to know which foods will get your body back to feeling great and get you back in control of your mind.
I’m going to take you through the foods that I used to treat my condition naturally so that you can do the same. By using this information you will be free from draining crashes in energy, hair loss and brittle nails plus many other side effects.
Go for foods that include tyrosine such as almonds, pumpkin seeds, bananas, lentils, fish, turkey and chicken breast. These helped me to feel a whole lot better.
You must also add into your diet foods containing iodine. If you find this difficult then maybe try a supplement. Fish oil supplements are a great option here. You can also buy seaweed and sea kelp from health food shops.
One technique that helped me was to listen to my own body. This means to sit quietly an hour after eating and really notice how you feel. Has your meal made you sluggish or are you feeling better?
This is a great idea for anyone with hypothyroidism as it means you will be able to cut out bad foods (for you) and increase your good foods very quickly.
Another great tip and one that I have tried myself is to keep a food diary. I recorded all of m meals and how they made me feel afterwards. I would also recommend this technique to anyone using medicines as well. It’s much easier to look back over a diary than to try to remember how you felt at a certain time. If you keep a log on line in this way you can also help others going through the same problem.
Please make sure that, even if you gain weight, you do not try any faddy diets. These are diets that include only drinking fruit juice or only one food group. These diets can put a massive stress on the body and the results are usually only temporary. If you have hypothyroidism you need foods that will treat your condition naturally.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this article on hypothyroidism foods and will be taking the first steps to feeling better very soon.
