Q My tsh level is 8.23 planning for pregnancy, what are the diet structure i should take to reduce tsh 2 pregnant?
Hello. Kindly note that, the food alone is not sufficient to lower the TSH level. You have to combine the therapeutic and natural way to get the best possible results. Here are some of the dietary tips for you- a balanced diet should be enough to provide the iodine, selenium, iron and vitamin A required for healthy TSH hormone production. You can have mushrooms, garlic, onions, eggs, beef liver, shellfish, wheat germ, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds which ar Rich in selenium. Limit your intake of refined sugar and starch. Certain foods affect the functioning of thyroid like spinach, broccoli, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, turnip, mustard greens, millet, peanuts and pine nuts, etc, so, it is advised to avoid these food substances.nThyroid hormones control metabolism and exercise maintains these hormones at a healthy level. You must exercise 30-45 min a day like walking, cycling, swimming etc. Avoiding a sedentary lifestyle can help improve circulation and control weight gain and indirectly help from the further complications.
