"I heard that if you have thyroid nodule , you can't eat radish anymore, otherwise it will worsen. Isn't it true?" The
backstage received a private message from a fan. Xiao Ai felt that this problem was actually very necessary to share with everyone. Many people always feel that this kind of food cannot be eaten, and that kind of food cannot be eaten. The food that really needs to be eaten is not taboo.
1. Is the radish a catalyst for thyroid nodules? Who said it?
Rumors say that radish belongs to cruciferous vegetables, rich in vitamins, carotenoid and phytonutrients, but also contains glucosinolate . Long-term intake of this substance will affect the synthesis of thyroid hormone , which may cause thyroid nodules.
In response to this, National second-level public nutritionist high sleep refuted the rumors. Only when the concentration of thiocyanate in plasma is high, intake of thioside will cause goiter. When the intake is insufficient and the sulfoside cannot be converted into isothiocyanate smoothly, there is no need to worry that sulfoside will cause excessive damage to thyroid .
. Data shows that can only cause excessive isothiocyanate content in the body if cruciferous plant (equivalent to eating 500~1000g broccoli , radish, cabbage, etc.) in a short period of time.
plus when we eat cruciferous vegetables such as radish on a daily basis, most of them will be heated and burned. After heating, the content of glucoside thio is inactivated, and only 1 to 20% of the thioside will be converted into isothiocyanate through intestinal bacteria. does not consume these foods continuously and in large quantities every day in daily life, which is generally innocuous.
For people suffering from thyroid nodules, they always feel troubled when it comes to diet because they don’t know what to eat and what they can’t eat. Next, Xiao Ai will tell you.
2. For the sake of thyroid health, what can I eat?
, iodine, seafood - can be eaten, but it is not advisable to over-utilize
iodine salt too much or too little may lead to an increased risk of thyroid nodules. For some people who suffer from nodules , they should control their iodine intake in diet, and do not eat kelp and seaweed for a long time and a large amount of foods with high iodine content. . Tofu - can be eaten, but cannot be taken with medicine
thyroid nodules patients can eat soy products, which will not cause the condition to worsen, and can also supplement the nutrition required by the thyroid to a certain extent. However, when taking thyroid medication, be careful not to eat soy products. Because soy products will affect the absorption of drugs such as Uleca , it is recommended to eat them for 4 hours.
After understanding what foods can be eaten by patients with thyroid nodules, let’s understand which foods should be eaten less, and read them down.
3. The question is, what foods should patients with thyroid nodules eat less?
, wine
ethanol contained in wine has direct toxicity to the thyroid gland, which will cause the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) to decrease, which will then cause thyroid tissue hyperplasia. Uneven hyperplasia will form thyroid nodules, and dysplasia will cause thyroid cancer to occur. , high estrogen food
Clinically, women have about the chance of suffering from thyroid nodules about is three times that of men. This is likely to be related to the estrogen secreted by women. Estrogen can promote the proliferation of cells by regulating related genes, which will play a role in the formation of thyroid nodules.
It is recommended that women with thyroid nodules should eat less foods with high estrogen content in daily life, such as donkey-hide gelatin , bird's nest and other women's health products, as well as foods that promote growth , etc.
Although most thyroid nodules are benign, there are also some examples of malignant changes in thyroid nodules. For ordinary people, how should they prevent malignant changes? Do these things well.
4. How to avoid cancer when thyroid nodules are detected?
1. Under the guidance of a doctor, judge benign and malignant
After discovering thyroid nodules, you should identify benign and malignant under the guidance of a doctor in time. Generally, nodules with a diameter less than 1cm can be observed for a long time. If they are greater than 2cm, surgical resection needs to be considered. The specific needs to be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.
. Stay away from rays
People who are exposed to rays for a long time are more likely to develop thyroid nodules. For people who already have thyroid nodules, they should pay more attention to staying away from rays in daily life to avoid further worsening of the condition.
. Maintaining good mood
Emotion is also very important for thyroid health. Often the emotions are difficult to control, irritable, nervous, etc., which will increase the risk of thyroid nodules worsening. You must learn to release stress in daily life and keep your emotions in a relatively good state.
thyroid nodules are one of the common clinical symptoms. For patients suffering from this disease, you must pay attention to identifying rumors and do not have unnecessary impact on your life just because you believe some unscientific rumors.
