Ten powerful foods for Hyperthyroidism

On my previous post, I wrote about Allergenic foods that could trigger Hyperthyroidism.  This time let me share about the foods that can help improve your hyperthyroid condition.  It is not enough to avoid these allergenic foods, increasing the amount of natural food in your diet can also be very helpful.   In fact, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, recognized the power of food and he believed it can be use as a natural medicine. During his time, herbs were used as medicines may be due to all the vital nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and medicinal properties they possess. How about for hyperthyroidism? Are there actually particular foods to heal it? Based on Svetla's Life's manual for Graves disease & Hyperthyroid, there are 10 foods that can aid your healing of hyperthyroidism. They are foods that contain naturally occurring substances such as Goitrogens and Iso-cyanates, which help restraining the thyroid from producing too much hormone. Here are the ten power foods for Hyperthyroid:



·    Broccoli 
·    Radish
·    Brussels sprouts
·    Cabbage
·    Cauliflower
·    Kale
·    Mustard greens
·    Rutabagas
·    Turnips

I believe that we can approach healing in many ways one of which is through natural method. Natural foods are abundant everywhere. They are present for a reason we only have to look for their medicinal properties and maximize their use. Even the synthetic medicines in the modern times were made out of the compounds rooted from these natural substances. Hippocrates didn’t came up with the quote “thy food shall be thy medicine” if there’s no truth to that.

 Making healthful dietary changes for a start is a big step in our healing. It will require much effort, I know, but it will be all worth it in the end. Let’s make eating healthy natural food a lifestyle. Like Hippocrates, we can testify that natural food is indeed the best medicine after all.
