Eat This For HASHIMOTO’S (Slow Thyroid)
Healthy Fats: Include healthy fats such as those found in avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds in your diet. These fats can help improve satiety and reduce inflammation.
Lean Protein: Lean protein sources like fish, poultry, beans, and legumes can help keep you feeling full and provide essential nutrients for your body.
Gluten-free options: While not everyone with Hashimoto’s needs to be gluten-free, some people find they feel better when they remove gluten from their diet. If you suspect gluten may be an issue, talk to your doctor about getting tested.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
Minimize processed foods: Processed foods are often high in unhealthy fats, added sugars, and sodium, which can contribute to inflammation.
Reduce goitrogenic foods: Goitrogenic foods can interfere with thyroid function. These include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale. However, these foods are still nutritious and can be enjoyed in moderation if cooked properly.
Maintain a balanced diet: It’s important to find a diet that works for you and that you can stick with in the long term.
Remember, it’s always best to consult with a doctor or registered dietitian before making any major changes to your diet, especially if you have Hashimoto’s disease. They can help you create a personalized plan that meets your individual needs.
