The Hypothyroid Diet Breakfast

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland delivers low amounts of hormones that help in performance of the body system. Among the symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain which comes as a result of slow metabolism hence the need for a proper hypothyroid diet.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it's the first meal of the day, and, it's the first meal since you started your fast. What fast?

You've been fasting since dinner the night before.

This is because your basal metabolic rate is at its highest point in the morning hence speeding up the process and a healthy meal will boost your metabolism.

A meal consists of fat, protein, and carbohydrate. Your snacks and 'treats' should also contain all three macronutrients. This will provide your body with sustained energy, not just a quick burst of energy that carbohydrates provide by themselves.

A balanced diet should consist of vitamins, fats, protein, carbohydrates and other minerals which should be eaten in the same proportion.

It is important for the nutritional plan to consist of mineral selenium because it has a direct impact to the hormones produced by thyroid. Include Brazilian nuts, tomatoes and onions in your meals because they contain selenium.

Food with iodine like oatmeal, hazelnuts, cinnamon among others should be included in your early morning meal.

Here are some mistakes to avoid when making your fruit smoothie...

Fruits that have this mineral include pineapples, mangoes and strawberries which can be put on the side.

People with this disorder should take their nutritional plans very seriously especially breakfast. Foods with carbohydrates will boost your energy levels.

Eating right is one way of reducing the symptoms and signs of this condition it also ensure that metabolism is boosted in your body hence easy and quick absorption of food in the body.

Consulting a physician is also important as he or she will help you in knowing which plan suits you.

Fatty meals will have a negative impact on your body for example they may lead to inflammation of the body system, high blood pressure and high levels of cholesterol in the body.

Hiring or consulting a nutritional expert is important in case one has other medical conditions as the expert will help in planning a proper diet.

A meal comprising of scrambled eggs, low fat yogurt and fruits is good for you. In case you are on medication it is important to take your medicine one hour before taking breakfast.

If you feel the need to include sugary foods in your diet then it should in small proportions.

A healthy nutritional plan and regular exercises will help you check on the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism since it does not have a permanent cure.

It also important to take water especially when taking your medication instead of taking juice or soft drinks like soda.

Happy blending.
