When we have thyroid disease, few people think of steamed buns in our daily diet, which may have an impact on thyroid health.
In particular, some special types of steamed bread, such as fried steamed bread and brown sugar steamed bread, may adversely affect thyroid function, leading to a high level of multiple diseases. In fact, if we take steamed bread as a staple food, just eat the original steamed bread, and don't further process it.
Deep-fried steamed bread is loved by many people because of its unique taste, and the high-calorie, high-fat nature of this steamed bread may lead to obesity, which can increase the burden on the heart and the risk of thyroid dysfunction.
Obesity not only interferes with the normal function of the thyroid gland, but can also aggravate pre-existing thyroid diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, in which case the heart is overloaded, which can lead to arrhythmias and heart failure.
Brown sugar steamed bread contains high sugar content, which can cause blood sugar fluctuations and stimulate the secretion of insulin, which in turn affects the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones.
For patients with hyperthyroidism, fluctuations in blood sugar may lead to excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, which can exacerbate the condition, and for patients with hypothyroidism, elevated blood sugar may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and increase the burden on the body.
Thyroid disease not only affects an individual's physical health, but also has a significant impact on daily life, with hyperthyroidism leading to irregular heartbeats, anxiety, insomnia, and weight loss, while hypothyroidism can lead to fatigue, weight gain, depression, and memory loss, both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, which can cause heart problems, osteoporosis, and muscle weakness.
There is nothing wrong with eating steamed bread normally, but when it is processed into fried steamed bread and brown sugar steamed bread, you should eat it sparingly, as they may have a negative impact on thyroid health.
To maintain thyroid health and overall health, it is recommended to choose foods that are low in sugar and fat, such as whole-wheat steamed buns, and pay attention to the overall balance of the diet.
