Thyroid nodules are closely related to iodine intake. Excessive iodine deficiency or intake will affect the thyroid gland and endanger the normal metabolism of thyroid growth hormone. Excessive iodine deficiency leads to the decrease of thyroid growth hormone secretion; Excessive iodine intake and excessive growth hormone metabolism will promote the growth of nodules. Especially in coastal cities, people who eat too much iodine-rich seafood for a long time are more likely to be caught.
It is also related to excessive psychological pressure. Mentality is closely related to physical and mental health. Contemporary people have a heavy burden of food, clothing, housing, transportation and work. In such a long-term situation, the metabolism of growth hormone in the body will be unbalanced, especially for female friends. If estrogen communicates more closely with the thyroid gland, if the human body is unbalanced, it will stimulate the thyroid gland and cause nodules.
It is also related to self-resistance, and some kinds of immune problems or thyroid abnormalities are prone to complicated nodules. There are also some genetic factors. People with a history of thyroid nodules in a large family are much more likely to have thyroid nodules in their offspring than ordinary people.
If you find that your neck is getting thicker and you feel something dirty when you touch it, you'd better have a look at it at once, which is also a typical manifestation of thyroid nodules. In addition, mood swings will be very large, and it is very prone to side effects such as emotional excitement or depression or excessive sweating. If you already feel hoarse and have difficulty swallowing, it is likely that the nodule is growing and developing. Don't delay, screen as soon as possible.
Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of thyroid nodules are reasonable, and the possibility of malignant transformation is very small. Don't worry too much. However, if left unattended, the nodule will be difficult to subside, and it must be actively reduced. Adjusting diet is a very critical method. Then, if the thyroid gland has nodules, what food can you eat often? Which foods should be touched less? If you eat properly, the nodules may gradually become smaller.
You can eat wax gourd often. There is enough dietary fiber in wax gourd, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, expel endotoxin and help relieve edema caused by nodules. Dandelion flowers can also reduce swelling and knot. Usually dandelion can be soaked in water to drink, and it also has a certain detoxification effect, which is very friendly to the thyroid gland. Mushrooms such as fungi can also be eaten often, which is beneficial to improve the resistance of thyroid gland, promote the excretion of endotoxin and prevent the growth and development of nodules.
The cooking method is mainly stew as far as possible. Have a light diet, pay attention to supplement protein and vitamins, and often eat beans, dairy products and fresh fruits and vegetables.
It is best to eat less irritating food ingredients, such as pepper, garlic, wine and freshly ground coffee. Too greasy, high-fat, high-calorie ingredients are best to touch less. If eaten, it will accelerate the growth and development of nodules. If it is a nodule caused by excessive iodine intake, it is really necessary to control iodine intake and eat less high-iodine foods such as laver, laver and seafood.
Generally speaking, thyroid nodules are a common problem at present, and most of them are related to the above factors. Eat more things, ensure light and balanced nutrition, and touch less "hair", and the nodules may gradually shrink. If the main manifestations become more and more obvious, it is difficult to inhale, so be careful of the malignant transformation of nodules.
