Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Iodine, zinc, and selenium are beneficial for people with hypothyroidism. However, avoiding iodine and selenium supplements is best unless your doctor advises you to take them.
  • In hypothyroidism, usually, there is a loss of calcium (hypocalcemia) and Vitamin D in our body. In such a case, people with hypothyroidism should opt for calcium-enriched foods.
  • Eat more protein as it may help boost your metabolism, as people with hypothyroidism usually have a slower metabolism.
  • Do regular yoga and aerobics exercises to boost your metabolism.
