Why are there more and more people with problems with thyroid?"Furious root" is not eating salt ...

Eating is a big thing in life. The problem of eating iodine is really learning.

We know that iodine and thyroid have a close relationship. If the thyroid gland is a "factory" for the human body synthetic thyroxine, then "iodine" is the basic raw material. Eating less and eating more may have an impact on the human body.

If you eat less iodine, it may not only lead to thyroidistness and hypothyroidism. Children with severe iodine deficiency can also affect the development of physical intelligence. Pregnant mothers may lead to poor ending of premature pregnancy and miscarriage.

It is also troublesome to eat too much iodine, which may cause a series of thyroid diseases: high iodine goiter, iodine hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis, etc.

So someone doubted "Is it too much iodized salt? Do you want to continue to eat iodized salt?"

The reason why we eat iodized salt is because the human body can only supplement iodine through the method of intake, and the natural iodine content in most foods is very low.

Most parts of my country belong to iodine deficiency in the natural environment, and the incidence of local goiter (that is, the legendary "big neck disease") was very high. After starting to eat iodized salt, the nutrition of the national iodine's malnutrition has been significantly improved.

In 2018, the iodine replenishment guidelines for Chinese residents recommend that the iodine volume is more than 14 years old and healthy adults iodine is 120 micrograms/day. For people with normal thyroid gland, there is no need to be too tangled with the problem of "eating iodine".

Take iodized salt, for example, we will take about 5g of salt every day. From this, we can get 100 micrograms of iodine. The remaining 20 micrograms can be obtained from drinking water and food. Occasionally, if you accidentally "eat more iodized salt", your body will adjust itself and discharge some excess iodine.

Unless you eat a lot of iodine abuse every day to abuse the thyroid gland, it will not easily lose his temper.

In a simple sentence, you should eat, drink, and drink normally.

Before answering this question, let's look at a set of data:

In normal medical examinations, the palpation rate of thyroid nodules is about 3%to 7%, and the high -resolution ultrasound detection rate is about 20%to 76%[1]. It can be seen that the incidence of thyroid nodules is indeed not low.

Studies have pointed out that the risk of mental workers (such as office staff) with thyroid nodules is about 1.31 times that of physical workers (such as outdoor operators) [2]. High cultural level and greater work pressure are also related to the onset of thyroid nodules [3]

The incidence of thyroid disease has increased, with the following two aspects:

On the one hand, check the equipment upgrade. High -resolution color Doppler ultrasound popularization applications, small nodule detection rates increase;

On the other hand, people's physical examination awareness has improved, and the thyroid nodules with obvious symptoms in the past will be found earlier.

Studies have confirmed that excessive or insufficient iodine intake can increase the prevalence of thyroid nodules, so it is necessary to eat iodine diet. Of course, thyroid nodules are also related to iodine intake, and are also related to radioactive contact, autoimmune, genetic and other factors. [2]

But if you just say the saying "iodized salt eat more", iodized salt is innocent.

Thyroid disease is a common disease. Friends who have occurred. When you mention the iodine in the food, you first scratch three points.

Want to figure out how to supplement iodine with thyroid diseases. First of all, we want to--

If you belong to patients with hyperthyroidism (whether there are nodules) or people who need iodine 131, it is recommended to have a low iodine diet. [4]

For Hashimoto's thyroiditis, it is recommended to limit iodine diet.

Iodine 131 After surgery, hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules (normal nails), and normal people, just eat iodine diet, there is no need to have too much taboos. Essence

At this point, I seemed to see a bunch of people line up and scratch my head-

Before clarifying the difference, first give the iodine content of different foods:

Let's look at it first-

1. Low iodine diet

Iodine exists in various foods, and we cannot achieve a "iodine -free diet", so we can only recommend and achieve a "low iodine diet", that is, to reduce iodine intake as much as possible and avoid high iodine food. It is recommended to eat iodine -free salt.

Pay attention to some small details in life, such as:

Do not eat pickled and processed foods (do not eat salt added with ingredients, unless it is made of iodine -free salt); eggs only eat protein (egg yolk do not eat); health products containing iodine ingredients do not eat iodine ingredients.

What else can patients eat in low iodine diet?

Fresh fruits and vegetables, rice, canned fruits, wheat flour, grains, oatmeal, vinegar, black pepper, coffee and tea (non -fast coffee), sugar, honey, spices, vegetable oil, etc.

2. Limited iodine diet

For iodine -limited diet, the recommendation standard for the Nuclear Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association is <50 micrograms/day, at least 1 to 2 weeks.

Although the iodine restricted diet is not as strict as a low iodine diet, it is still necessary to pay attention to high iodine foods such as seaweed as much as possible.

In daily life, if you eat iodized salt, you can eat some foods such as sea shells, shrimp skin, processing food, egg yolk and other foods in moderation; if you eat iodized salt, the above food should also give up pain.

3. iodine diet

The iodine is better to understand. Normal adult iodine intake is 120 micrograms/day. Pregnant women and lactating women are at least 230-240 micrograms/day, so it is recommended to supplement high iodine or composite vitamins with iodine-containing iodine.

Therefore, no matter what kind of thyroid disease, we must take the medicine carefully according to the doctor's order and actively go to the hospital for treatment. Pay attention to the diet and emotions, which can restore the body faster and better. references
