Thyroid and Diet
90 Day Thyroid Diet
WHAT IS THE THYROID GLAND | FUNCTIONS OF THE THYROID GLAND | TESTING FOR THYROID IMBALANCE
Thyroid function and diet go hand in hand. Infact, some foods may be affecting your thyroid gland in the wrong way. Western diets, foods of convenience, and other unhealthy dietary habits can "muddle" the signals sent to cells throughout the body, fostering negative genetic (phenotypic) expression that leads to premature aging and chronic thyroid illness. What you eat does have a direct influence on your thyroid and how you feel. And addressing those eating patterns allows you to manage thyroid symptoms, lose weight and even halt or reverse the progression of your illnesses.
Thyroid Diet - exploring the role of iodine in thyroid function
Your thyroid gland needs iodine and some foods are known to possibly suppress iodine levels and influence other hormones like insulin, estrogen and progesterone. Can a thyroid diet be the missing link to maintaining a healthy body weight and overcoming fatigue and other thyroid symptoms? The answer is yes. So what does a personalized diet to support thyroid function include? To answer these questions and a variety of others related to the thyroid gland, it is important to first have a clear understanding of its function and purpose in the human body and then we can explore the individual aspects of a thyroid diet that supports optimal health and wellness.
This mineral is a necessary component of T3 and T4. It combines with the amino acid tyrosine and gets converted into the two thyroid hormones. For this reason, getting sufficient amounts of iodine through fish, seaweed, iodized salt, and shellfish is critical for the optimal function of the thyroid.
Thyroid Diet and Low Glycemic Foods
Insulin resistance associated with thyroid diseases. Due to this strong association, a diet in good carbohydrates and healthy protein sourced is recommended, but some women should avoid soy and whey protein powders. This includes adequate food combining at each meal and snack to incorporate protein, fat, fiber, and carbohydrate accordingly. In this way, glucose enters the bloodstream gradually which in turn modulates the amount of insulin release. A controlled insulin production means a more efficient use of calories and less opportunity for the body to store calories. This is all helpful, however it is also important to eat according to your other ormonal influences as imbalances in female reproductive hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all influence thyroid health.
Thyroid Diet and Goitrogenic foods
Goitrogens are naturally-occurring substances that can interfere with function of the thyroid gland. Goitrogens get their name from the term "goiter," which means an enlargement of the thyroid gland. If the thyroid gland is having difficulty making thyroid hormone, it may enlarge as a way of trying to compensate for this inadequate hormone production. "Goitrogens," like circumstances that cause goiter, cause difficulty for the thyroid in making its hormone. (Read more)
Thyroid Diet - Vitamins and Minerals
In general, a multi-vitamin is beneficial in a thyroid diet. Zinc has been shown to be a required mineral for the prevention of diminishing T3 levels, especially when caloric reduction takes place for weight loss purposes. Selenium behaves in a similar fashion. A daily dose of 15 to 25 milligrams of zinc and 400 micrograms of selenium is worth trying. Iodine, Magnesium and B vitamins are also important for healthy thyroid function.
- Constant dieting undermines your metabolism and decreases your metabolic rate, a compounding factor for the thyroid, especially during menopause.
- Regular consumption of foods that slow down your thyroid function.
- Increased stress affects your adrenal, brain and thyroid function, resulting in increased cravings for sweets and simple carbs to provide instant energy and feel-good hormones.
- Female reproductive hormonal fluctuations affect thyroid function, slowing your metabolism. Conditions such as PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis and cysts can cause thyroid hormone fluctuations.
