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 Sudhir Ji,

Vitamin C-rich fruits like oranges are good for immunity but should be consumed in moderation, as they can be acidic and may irritate the stomach in some cases. To help with recovery, focus on a balanced diet with hydrating fluids, anti-inflammatory foods (ginger, turmeric), and lean proteins. Avoid processed foods, excessive dairy, and alcohol, as they can hinder healing. Always follow your doctor's advice for dietary modifications based on your health condition.

Hi Sneha, thank you for your question!

For healthy weight loss, it's important to focus on a balanced approach:

  1. Eat a Balanced Diet: Include whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
  2. Exercise Regularly: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly, such as walking, cycling, or swimming.
  3. Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps boost metabolism and reduces overeating.
  4. Get Enough Sleep: Poor sleep can slow down metabolism and increase hunger.
  5. Consult a Doctor: For personalized advice, consider speaking with a healthcare provider, especially if you’re facing challenges.

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.
