Doctors advise you to eat less of these foods

1. Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables such as bok choy, kale, cabbage, etc. contain a lot of goitrogens – compounds that block the absorption of iodine into the thyroid gland and reduce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Excessive consumption, especially when eaten raw, can increase the risk of goiter and thyroid tumors. However, if cooked, the enzymes in the vegetables will be broken down, helping to reduce the amount of goitrogens. Patients can still eat them but should limit them.

2. Products made from Soybean

Soybeans contain particularly high amounts of isoflavones – a substance that can reduce the ability to produce thyroid hormones. Though they are not a completely banned food, you should limit the consumption of soybeans and soy products. For patients who have had thyroid surgery and need to supplement thyroid hormones from medication, the consumption of soybeans needs to be strictly controlled.

3. Processed Foods, Lots of Additives

Processed or canned foods are often low in nutrients but high in preservatives, unhealthy fats, and uncontrolled seasonings. These ingredients can reduce the thyroid’s ability to produce thyroxine, affecting the treatment process. Patients need to supplement fresh, nutritious foods to improve their health and support effective treatment.

4. Processed Foods, Many Additives

Processed or canned foods often contain little nutrition but contain many preservatives, bad fats and uncontrolled spices. These ingredients can reduce the thyroid’s ability to produce thyroxine, affecting the treatment process. Patients need to supplement fresh, nutritious foods to improve their health and support effective treatment.

5. Foods Containing Caffeine

Caffeine can reduce the ability to absorb thyroid tumor treatment drugs, so you should not drink coffee or eat foods containing caffeine within 1 hour of taking the drug. Although not in the group of foods that need to be absolutely avoided, caffeine can cause rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath and affect the patient’s general health. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the consumption of drinks and foods containing caffeine
