Soy contains compounds called goitrogens<\/em> that may interfere with your thyroid\u2019s ability to produce hormones, especially if you\u2019re not getting enough iodine. Limit soy milk, tofu, and soy protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and kale are healthy\u2014but in large raw amounts, they can suppress thyroid function. Cooking them reduces their goitrogenic effect, so steam or roast them instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
People with autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto\u2019s disease may have increased sensitivity to gluten. Gluten can trigger inflammation and worsen thyroid symptoms in some individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
These foods can spike your blood sugar and lead to weight gain\u2014something already difficult with a sluggish thyroid. Consistently high blood sugar may also worsen hormonal imbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
If you have hypothyroidism, your metabolism slows down, which raises your risk for high blood pressure. Processed foods packed with sodium can compound this risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Fast food, fried items, and baked goods with hydrogenated oils may disrupt thyroid hormone production and increase inflammation in the body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
