Manage stress….Stress makes your thyroid gland perform at sub-optimum levels. Thus, destressing with activities like yoga, reading a book, or taking long walks can help your thyroid gland perform better.
Avoid raw goitrogenic vegetables…. Certain vegetables like kale, cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts, cabbage, and turnip are known to suppress thyroid function especially when eaten raw. If you cannot do without these veggies, cook them before eating to manage your thyroid disease better.
Add seafood…..Seafood and sea vegetables contain iodine which is extremely beneficial for correcting thyroid function.
Eat diet rich in Omega-3... Foods that are rich in Omega-3 reduce inflammation and strengthen your immune system. Omega-3 can be found in foods like meat, fish, eggs, milk and milk products.
Exercise….Moderate exercise is immensely helpful for thyroid patients.
Choosing an exercise regime wisely is important. One can opt for yoga, brisk walks, Pilates, Zumba, swimming etc.
Cut down on caffeine… If you wish to reduce the stress over your thyroid gland, cutting down daily caffeine intake is helpful. It is advisable to drink no more than one cup of coffee in a day.
Following the above-mentioned health tips will not only ensure optimum functioning of your thyroid gland but will also complement the thyroid treatment you are taking
