Can we eat spinach and mustard greens if having thyroid condition? Also can we eat oranges?
And what are the best veggies and fruits that can be eaten everyday?

Question

Hello,

Thanks for your query on Lybrate

"As" per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -

1)Take foods high in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids such as leafy green vegetables, salmon, nuts, seeds, and shrimp etc

2)Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Water and green tea can be sipped on in between meals to prevent dehydration.

3)Take Iodine rich foods such as seaweed and algae should be eaten regularly.

4)Foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, soy, beans, and spinach can actually slow down the functioning of the thyroid so they should be eaten in small quantities.

5)Try to avoid artificial sweeteners, caffeine, dairy, and alcohol when on a diet for hypothyroidism.

6)Do regular exercise and take a multivitamin caps [REJUVIT PLUS CAPS]regularly at bedtime.

Hope that helps
