Natural Remedies to Keep Your Thyroid in Balance

By: Tradeindia

Iodine-Rich Foods

 Take iodized salt, take seaweed and fish to support the production of thyroid hormone and prevent iodine deficiency.

Selenium-Rich Foods

Munch Brazil nuts, eat sunflower seeds, and have eggs to help in the functioning of the thyroid and oxidant stress, respectively.

Ashwagandha

 This adaptogenic herb balances thyroid hormones, especially for hypothyroidism, by reducing stress and augmenting T3/T4 levels.

Zinc and Copper

Include oysters, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate, which facilitates the synthesis of thyroid hormones and maintains hormonal balance.

Coconut Oil

Use only virgin coconut oil for cooking; its healthy fats can boost metabolism and assist thyroid.

Stress Reduction

Do yoga, meditation, or deep breathing to reduce cortisol levels, which can disrupt thyroid function.

Avoid Goitrogens

Reduce raw cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, etc.) if you have hypothyroidism, as they may interfere with iodine uptake.

Vitamin D

Get sunlight or supplement to help your immune system and thyroid, as deficiencies are associated with thyroid problems.
