Thyroid & Nutrition

by Harpreet Singh

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) – when your gland fails to produce enough Thyroid, resulting in weight gain, sluggishness, depression, increased sensitivity to cold.

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid) – when your gland produces too much Thyroid, resulting in weight loss, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nervousness and irritability

Whether you have an underactive or overactive thyroid condition, modifying you diet is essential to manage this problem, as some foods are better at absorbing the hormone than others.

Hypothyroidism, Heart Disease & Diabetes
If not managed, the weight gain from your UNDERACTIVE thyroid disorder can predispose you to other major health concerns like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

  • Arteriosclerosis: Build-up of fats and cholesterol (plague) on the walls of your arteries, causing them to become narrow over time, thus restricting blood flow to your heart and organs.
  • Hypertension: Weight gain can lead to high blood pressure
  • Obesity: Lethargy, muscle weakness, increased cholesterol and low BMR can lead to excessive weight gain
  • Diabetes: Uncontrolled obesity can result in diabetes and insulin resistance
