To
get the most out of every day it is more important than ever to educate
yourself about the value of optimal nutrition and eating for health.
The Natural Thyroid Diet
advocates a variety of fresh, natural foods that supply a wide range of
nutrients to help you reach your full health potential.
Here
are 4 healthy thyroid diet recommendations:
Thyroid Diet Recommendations #1 - Eliminate thyroid damaging
foods.
It may surprise you to learn that everyday foods may be sabotaging your
thyroid. For my money, the most damaging are: artificial sweeteners, Canola
oil, soy oil, hidden soy and corn (maize) ingredients and high fructose corn
syrup (HFCS).
Soy
and Canola oil are often deceptively labelled as ‘vegetable oil’. This is very
misleading as oil is not normally found in vegetables.
Thyroid Diet Recommendations #2 - Avoid gluten. It’s common to
experience significant improvements in symptoms when you eliminate gluten from
the diet. Gluten is the protein component of grains such as wheat, rye, barley,
triticale and oats.
Gluten
irritates the lining of the digestive system and can trigger systemic
inflammation. Take care when selecting ‘gluten-free’ foods as food
manufacturers often use corn (maize) and soy ingredients as substitutes for
gluten containing grains.

Thyroid Diet Recommendations #3 - Choose organic fruit and
vegetables whenever possible. Conventional produce can harbor multiple
pesticide residues. Organic food = less thyroid disrupting pesticides and
herbicides. Organic farmers also take a firm stance on biotechnology that
modifies the genetic make-up of a plant by saying ‘NO to GM foods’.
If
possible visit a local farmers market to stock up on healthy organic produce
for the week. Healthy and nutritious food has the greatest potential to nourish
your thyroid.
Thyroid Diet Recommendations #4 - Don’t go raw! Sure, there are
good reasons to enjoy some raw food in your diet however I don’t agree with
embracing a 100% raw food diet.
When
you have a thyroid issue it’s best to emphasis foods that are warming and
nourishing. In short, stay away from hyped-up and restrictive diet
recommendations.
