Hello Jannat Ji,

While a personalized diet plan should be created with your dietician & nutritionist, here are some general tips for managing high TSH levels

Dos:

1. Include Iodine-Rich Foods: Iodine is essential for thyroid function. Use iodized salt and include foods like eggs, dairy, and fish.
2. Eat Selenium-Rich Foods: Selenium helps in thyroid hormone production. Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, and tuna are good options.
3. Consume Zinc: Foods like pumpkin seeds, lentils, and chickpeas are rich in zinc, which supports thyroid health.
4. Fiber-Rich Foods: Whole grains, vegetables, and fruits help prevent weight gain and constipation, which are common in hypothyroidism.

Don'ts:

1. Avoid Excessive Soy Products: Soy can interfere with thyroid hormone absorption. Limit tofu, soy milk, and other soy-based foods.
2. Limit Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can interfere with iodine absorption when eaten raw, so cook them before consuming.
3. Stay Away from Processed Foods: They often contain high levels of sodium and unhealthy fats, which can negatively affect thyroid function.
4. Reduce Sugary Foods and Caffeine: Both can worsen fatigue and hormone imbalances.

Consultation for Personalized Diet:

Consult with your doctor or a nutritionist for a personalized diet plan and better management of your thyroid levels.

Hello Ms Harshada,

Having a deficiency in Vitamin D can impact your health. Here are some suggestions:

1. Sunlight Exposure: Spend some time in the sun each day, as sunlight is a natural source of Vitamin D.

2. Dietary Sources: Include foods rich in Vitamin D, such as fatty fish (like salmon mackerel), fortified dairy products (milk yoghurt), egg yolks, and mushrooms.

3. Supplements: Consult a healthcare professional to determine if you need Vitamin D supplements and the appropriate dosage.

4. Regular Check-ups: Get regular check-ups to monitor your Vitamin D levels and adjust your diet or supplements as needed.

Remember, it's important to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your specific health needs.
