Hashimoto's disease (Hashimoto'S thyroiditis) should consider the effect on thyroid function when choosing a diet. Squid is a nutritious seafood that contains high-quality protein, vitamin B12, phosphorus, copper, and other minerals. For most people, eating squid in moderation is healthy.
Considerations for consumption of squid in patients with Hashimoto's disease:
Iodine content: Seafood is good for iodine**, which is essential for thyroid health. However, people with Hashimoto's disease need to balance their iodine intake, as either too much or too little iodine can affect thyroid function.
Inflammatory factors: Some people may find that certain seafood, including squid, exacerbates the inflammatory response. While this is uncommon, if you notice discomfort after eating squid, you may need to limit your intake.
Cooking method: The cooking method is also important. Healthy cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling, or roasting, are better than frying, which can increase the intake of unhealthy fats and exacerbate inflammation.
Allergic reactions: If you have a history of allergies to squid or other seafood, you should avoid it.
Recommendation: For people with Hashimoto's disease, it is generally safe to consume squid in moderation, but care should be taken to balance the iodine intake and avoid excessive consumption.
At the same time, consider the individual's tolerance and any potential allergic reactions. Maintaining a balanced diet that includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, high-quality proteins, and healthy fats is key to managing Hashimoto's disease.
