Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Iodine, zinc, and selenium are beneficial for people with hypothyroidism. However, it’s best to avoid iodine and selenium supplements 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 affected 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 the metabolism.
  • Eat more vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. These foods are low in calories and may help prevent weight gain.
  • Avoid taking Goitrogens (agents that interfere with the thyroid gland's normal function), which generally includes soy foods (tofu), cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, spinach, sweet potatoes, cassava, peaches, strawberries, millet, pine nuts, peanuts, etc.
