Can patients with hyperthyroidism consume iodized salt?

Patients with hyperthyroidism can eat iodized salt, hyperthyroidism is due to various reasons, resulting in the excessive production of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland factory, the body is in a state of high metabolism, sympathetic nerve excitation, goiter, and even accompanied by thyroid synoditis.

The principle of diet for patients with hyperthyroidism is high-calorie, high-protein, high-vitamin, low-iodine diet. Patients with hyperthyroidism should try not to eat iodine-rich kelp and seaweed in their diet, because if iodine intake is not controlled, excessive intake will aggravate the condition of hyperthyroidism. Although iodine-containing salt has a certain iodine content, the content is very small, and a bag of salt is often eaten for a relatively long time, and there is continuous loss in the cooking process, so it will not aggravate the condition of patients with hyperthyroidism because of eating iodized salt.

Patients with hyperthyroidism are generally not recommended to eat iodized salt, excessive iodine intake may cause hyperthyroidism, and when you find symptoms of hyperthyroidism, you must control your iodine intake, eat non-iodized salt, and stay away from kelp and other foods with high iodine content.

During the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, it is recommended to abstain from iodine diet as much as possible, and do not eat iodine-rich diets, such as kelp, seaweed or iodine-rich Western medicines, such as iodine-containing tablets or amiodarone, like traditional Chinese medicine containing seaweed, kelp, and oysters. During the period of stable condition, patients with hyperthyroidism are not unable to eat iodine at all, and the recommended salt intake is about 6g per day, according to the national standard of salt iodization, through a reasonable amount of salt consumed every day, the iodine does not exceed the standard. In addition, iodine will quickly sublimate if placed in a ventilated place, and iodized salt can be put in early when cooking, prolonging the heating time, and can also reduce the amount of iodine.

Therefore, patients with hyperthyroidism can eat iodized salt, as long as they try to avoid kelp seaweed that is rich in iodine.

In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat more green vegetables and fruits, and regularly review the function of the thyroid gland, so as to adjust the dosage of ** drugs in time and control the development of the disease.

People who live in areas with high iodine in water sources, or who have diseases such as hyperthyroidism, should not take iodized salt.

Experts suggest that in addition to people living in areas with high iodine in water sources or suffering from diseases such as hyperthyroidism, most of the population in China still needs iodine supplementation through iodized salt.

Liu Peng, director of the Institute of Iodine Deficiency Disease Prevention and Control of the Endemic Disease Control Center of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that China used to be one of the countries where iodine deficiency diseases were widely distributed and the disease was serious. By the end of 2015, according to the results of the final assessment of the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Prevention and Control of Endemic Diseases, counties across the country had achieved the goal of eliminating iodine deficiency diseases.

Suggestions: In the daily consumption of food, kelp, seaweed, sea cabbage, marine fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish are rich in iodine. Excess iodine is detrimental to the condition and manifests itself as:

1) Aggravation of hyperthyroidism: Since iodine is the main raw material for the manufacture of thyroid hormones, long-term use of iodine can aggravate hyperthyroidism, and even iodine-derived hyperthyroidism can occur. (2) Unfavorable to **

Eating too much iodine may also harden the thyroid tissue, cause the disease to be prolonged, and affect antithyroid drugs, iodine overdose prolongs the time of hyperthyroidism, decreases the rate, and the drug of antithyroid drugs for hyperthyroidism drops to 20% 35% after excessive iodine supplementation. Therefore, patients with hyperthyroidism should avoid eating iodine-containing foods such as kelp, seaweed, and marine fish, and iodine-containing traditional Chinese medicines such as seaweed and kelp should be prohibited. Patients should consume non-iodized salt.

If it is iodized salt, the iodized salt should be fried at high temperature for a period of time before consumption to allow the iodine to volatilize. 3.Patients with hyperthyroidism should pay attention to the following during medication and diet

1) Taboo spicy food: spicy seeds, raw onions, raw garlic; (2) Forbidden seafood: kelp, shrimp, hairtail; (3) Strong tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol are contraindicated; (4) Keep your mood calm and prevent fatigue.
