Eating a healthy, thyroid-friendly diet can support your thyroid function, help you maintain or lose weight, and may even help lessen some of your symptoms like fatigue, constipation, and a sluggish metabolism. However, specific foods and supplements cannot treat or reverse thyroid illness. Foods that have been through a lot of processing frequently contain a lot of empty calories that do nothing to help your health. If you can, choose fresh produce, healthy grains, minimally processed foods, and fruits and vegetables.
Ringkasan
- The speaker emphasizes that health and fitness should be prioritized, especially for women who often put family, work, and children first. Neglecting one's health can negatively impact the thyroid gland, leading to widespread hypothyroidism. While blaming the thyroid for weight gain, bad skin, bloating, and mood swings is common, individuals should examine their lifestyles to identify the root cause.
- The thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ in the neck, produces hormones that regulate metabolism. Key hormones include T4 (thyroxin), a precursor hormone, and T3, the active hormone. A malfunctioning thyroid can indicate a sluggish liver, as the conversion of T4 to T3 happens in the liver. The thyroid is controlled by the pituitary gland, which is stimulated by the hypothalamus. Issues can arise if enzymes, minerals, and vitamins are lacking in the entire process.
- Common patterns observed in clients with thyroid issues include poor gut health, sedentary lifestyles, lack of sleep, and stress. Compromised gut health can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and D3, affecting thyroid function. Sedentary lifestyles lead to poor blood circulation and an acidic body, while inadequate sleep compromises recovery and rejuvenation. Stress elevates cortisol levels, disrupting other hormone functions and affecting overall health.
- Nutritional strategies play a pivotal role in thyroid health. The speaker advocates for incorporating foods rich in iodine, such as unrefined salts, bananas, and dairy products. Emphasizing protein, especially the non-essential amino acid thyrosin, from non-vegetarian sources or complete meals like dal chawal and ghee, is also essential. Certain minerals like copper, selenium, and zinc, found in nuts and seeds, are beneficial. Goitrogens in raw cruciferous vegetables inhibit absorption and those vegetables need to be soaked or cooked. Good fats with MCTS, like virgin coconut oil, aid in T4 to T3 conversion.
- Exercise is non-negotiable and includes strength, stamina, stability, and flexibility training. Thirty minutes of daily exercise, or 150 minutes per week, helps regulate hormone levels. Adequate sleep allows for recovery and rejuvenation, regulating sugar levels and reducing stress on the adrenal gland. Stress management includes setting realistic expectations, practicing self-care, and sharing responsibilities to lower cortisol levels.
- Tracking progress involves understanding the body's signals, such as improved sleep, increased energy, and a positive mood. Metabolic parameters like blood pressure, sugar levels, lipid profile, and liver function are good indicators of overall health.
