Patient's question:
I've been feeling particularly hungry recently, but my weight hasn't increased and I've even been losing weight day by day. Recently, I've also noticed some improvement in my vision. My friend suggested I go to the hospital for a check-up. Today, I had a thorough examination at the hospital, and the doctor said I have hyperthyroidism. I'd like to know what dietary precautions I should take for hyperthyroidism?Doctor's answer:
For patients with thyroid tension, it is best to avoid overeating and not consume excessively spicy foods. At the same time, it is important to drink plenty of water and avoid coffee and strong tea. Alcohol should also be avoided. Do not eat iodine-rich seafood such as kelp, fish, shrimp, and crabs, and avoid iodized salt. You can eat more foods rich in calcium. The diet should be based on coarse grains, (whole grains), and soy products. People with high fever convulsions have high energy consumption, so it is important to replenish energy.
