Hypothyroidism Veg Diet Plan, Indian Hypothyroidism Recipes

Hypothyroidism Veg Diet Plan, Indian Hypothyroidism Recipes. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland of our body fails to produce enough thyroid hormone which is extremely essential for various metabolic functions in our body. Apart from this, the thyroid hormone is also necessary to maintain normal heartbeat, body temperature and blood pressure. In case of hypothyroidism, these body processes slow down thereby decreasing the basic metabolic rate of the body. The major symptoms of hypothyroidism are weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, constipation, slow heart rate and hair loss.

Healthy Indian Hypothyroidism Recipes 

Barley being the richest source of selenium is a healthy option to include in your Hypothyroidism diet. Try the barley khichdi with lots of mixed vegetables. A variant is barley and moong dal khichdi recipe. The super thing is that none of these recipes have any rice added to it and hence no simple carbs added. My favourite is barley soup which soothes your sore throat or cures a bug in you.

Oats are a great source of protein for Vegetarians.

12 Foods are to be avoided for Hypothyroidism Veg Diet Plan

1. Refined foods like pasta, bread, burgers.

2. Soya and its products are best avoided as high amounts of estrogen can increase the risk of hypothyroidism.

3. Avoid millets especially bajra as much as possible as it is known to be goitrogenic.

4. Ready to eat foods and packaged foods.

5. Gluten rich foods like wheat, semolina, rye and bulgur wheat  and barley if you have gluten sensitivity or digestion problems.

6. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale, turnips, and pak choi can interfere with the production of thyroid hormone, particularly people who have an iodine deficiency goitre. Digesting these vegetables can block the thyroid's ability to absorb iodine, which is essential for normal thyroid function. Best is to cook them well as goitrogenic compounds get destroyed and have in small amounts occasionally.

7. Other vegetables like corn, asparagus, radish, spinach, sweet potato, mustard greens.

8. Almonds, cashew, peanuts, flax seeds, walnuts, and pine nuts as they have thyroid inhibiting compounds.

9. High fat dairy products should be restricted and avoided completely if you are allergic to it. Best is to try and find out for yourself.

10. Canned juices and sodas.

11. Coffee, alcohol, soft drinks, jams, jellies, pastries etc.

12. Fruits like peach, pear and strawberries.
