If you’ve recently been diagnosed with thyroid disease, like hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s, I know how scared and confused you may feel. Instead of dipping your toes first, it practically feels like you’re thrown into the water, with no direction of what comes next. Your doctor may heavily rely on medications, and while they are a huge part of the management process, treatment takes a lot more than that.
For one, lifestyle changes are in order - but there’s nothing to be scared about! In fact, all of these changes will help you deal with thyroid disease more effectively! So, let’s start with the basics - coming up with a diet plan that works for you.
Diet plays a major role in thyroid function. Certain foods have nutrients that help maintain its proper function, while others pack a powerful punch - the kind you don’t want. With that in mind, now is the perfect time to start an anti-inflammatory diet for thyroid disease.
Still wondering why you should start? Here are some of the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet.
Benefits Of Anti-Inflammatory Diet For Thyroid Disease
Reduces Inflammation
Kind of an obvious one, but a diet for thyroid disease features food that can lower inflammation within your body. Greens, berries, all kinds of nuts, and certain types of fish are packed with antioxidants that fight the accumulated stress in your body. This is not only for the thyroid, but your overall health! Since the diet targets all aspects of your body, over time, you’ll start feeling refreshed, less fatigued, and significantly healthier!

Let’s face it - you’re done with feeling lethargic and brain-foggy all the time, and the medication just brings you more down. Luckily, an anti-inflammatory diet can make things easier for you!
The more you lower the inflammation within your body, the more your thyroid will function properly. So, load up on some seafood and seeds, and notice how things will turn for the better. Staying active also helps a lot, so once your feelings of fatigue take a turn for the better, start sweating!

There’s no worse feeling than being fatigued! No matter how hard you try, you simply don’t have the energy to do all the things you love. That said, this is probably one of the worst things when dealing with thyroid disease. But, did you know that with a few simple changes in your diet, your low batteries can quickly start charging up?
As previously mentioned, antioxidants are key to lowering the inflammation in your body, including the thyroid. Foods like mangoes, Brazil nuts, brown rice, and yogurt are filled with selenium, zinc, and iodine which contribute to proper thyroid function.
