Thyroid patients should really pay attention to their diet
Thyroid problems are becoming more common.
This is mainly due to our lifestyle and exposure to toxins in our habitat.
It is estimated that between 500 000 and 1 million Dutch people have some form of thyroid disease.
In Belgium, there are 800000 to 1 million people with thyroid disease.
In women, thyroid disease is 4 to 8 times more common than in men.
Here are the main risk factors for thyroid disease:
- use of certain medications
- stress
- smoking or smoked
- high cholesterol
- too high or low blood pressure
- overfatigue
- be burn⸺-out or overworked
- myalgia
- problems with pregnancy
- problems with menstruation
- disrupted metabolism
- mood fluctuations
Although thyroid disorders are usually treated with conventional medicines, you can also benefit greatly from a modified diet.
Stress and smoking also have an impact, so it's already a good start to calm things down and finally give up smoking.
