Hypothyroidism, commonly known as hypothyroidism, is a common endocrine disorder. Hypothyroidism in patients with hypothyroidism can cause the metabolic function of various body systems to slow down, causing a series of uncomfortable symptoms. In daily life, diet plays a vital role in hypothyroidism. Some people say that people with hypothyroidism can't drink soy milk, so is this statement accurate?
1. Ingredients of soy milk
Soy milk is a plant-based drink made from soybeans through grinding, filtration and other processes, and its main ingredients are protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
Soy milk is rich in high-quality protein, which is very important for maintaining good health. However, for patients with hypothyroidism, some components in soy milk may have some effects on thyroid function.
2. Hypothyroidism in patients with hypothyroidism willThis leads to insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones
Soy milk, on the other hand, contains a substance called isoflavones, which have certain estrogenic activity. Estrogen is a substance that can suppress thyroid function, so too much estrogen in the diet of people with hypothyroidism may have some negative effects on thyroid function.
The isoflavones in soy milk are estrogen-like substances, so hypothyroid patients should consume soy milk in moderation in their diet to avoid adverse effects on thyroid function.
3. Patients with hypothyroidism also need to pay attentionis the soy isoflavones in soy milk
Soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens, which can mimic the effects of estrogen in the body and have a certain effect on thyroid function. Therefore, patients with hypothyroidism should consume soy isoflavones in moderation in their diet to avoid adverse effects on thyroid function.
4. Patients with hypothyroidism should consume soy milk in moderation in their diet
Although soy milk contains some ingredients that may negatively affect thyroid function, it will not have a significant effect on thyroid function as long as it is consumed in moderation.
5. Patients with hypothyroidism should also be in their dietNoteMeaning the intake of some other foods
1. Patients with hypothyroidism should touch two things less, namelySeafood and iodized salt
Seafood is rich in iodine, and patients with hypothyroidism have hypothyroidism, and excessive intake of iodine will further inhibit thyroid function and aggravate the condition.
Therefore, hypothyroidism patients should avoid seafood as much as possible. In addition, iodized salt is also a food that people with hypothyroidism should touch less. Although iodized salt can prevent goiter, for people with hypothyroidism, consuming too much iodized salt can also negatively affect thyroid function.
2. Patients with hypothyroidism can eat two more fruits, namely apples and oranges
Apples and oranges are fruits rich in vitamin C, which can promote the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones and help improve the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
In addition, apples and oranges are also rich in fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, help eliminate metabolic waste products from the body, and maintain the health of the body.
Summary: Patients with hypothyroidism should consume soy milk in moderation in their diet and pay attention to the intake of some other foods. Although soy milk contains some ingredients that may negatively affect thyroid function, it will not have a significant effect on thyroid function as long as it is consumed in moderation.
In addition, patients with hypothyroidism should eat less seafood and iodized salt and more apples and oranges to maintain the thyroid gland, improve symptoms and improve quality of life.
