The special manifestations of hypothyroidism are: pale and sallow complexion, facial edema, dull eyes, slack eyelids, indifferent expression, few words, hoarse voice and vague words.

Methods of reducing hypothyroidism

1, daily life is sometimes timely.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main pathogenesis of hypothyroidism is congenital deficiency and acquired malnutrition, which leads to deficiency of spleen and kidney yang and attenuation of viscera function.

Spring and summer should be the season when the yang grows vigorously, but patients with hypothyroidism feel pain and swelling of muscles and joints due to the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in tissues and skin, which are characterized by laziness, obesity and weakness.

Abnormal secretion of thyroid hormone leads to disorder of bone metabolism and decrease of bone mass, which leads to slow bone transformation and osteoporosis. In this regard, patients with hypothyroidism should get up early in spring, do low-intensity exercise, and at the same time, receive as much sunlight as possible. Soft and soothing aerobic exercise, such as hand cutting, back pounding, walking and Tai Ji Chuan, can be selected as appropriate to relieve the discomfort of "spring sleep" and "summer fatigue" and prevent and improve osteoporosis.

2, the diet should be warm, and help Yang in time.

When hypothyroidism occurs, the renewal speed of intestinal mucosa slows down, the secretion of digestive juice is insufficient, the enzyme activity decreases, and the amount of albumin decreases, so we should eat more foods with high protein content.

In spring, it is necessary to prevent eating more acidic foods from causing spleen-stomach qi deficiency or spleen-stomach yang deficiency, which will affect the disease control of hypothyroidism patients. Patients with hypothyroidism should eat sweet, warm and mild foods rich in protein, sugar, vitamins and minerals in spring, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, honey, fresh vegetables and fruits, so as to strengthen the spleen and help yang.

Patients with hypothyroidism and hyperlipidemia should eat less high-fat and high-cholesterol foods to avoid aggravating lipid metabolism disorder.

The diet of hypothyroidism patients should be warm and not overheated. At the same time, it is not allowed to eat cold products, such as herbal tea, cold drinks, fruits, etc., in case of internal injury to spleen yang, causing recurrence or aggravation of the disease. If necessary, you can eat some warm fruits, such as longan, grapes, mangoes and pitaya.

3. Relieve emotions and balance in time.

Patients with hypothyroidism need to take medicine all the year round and have great psychological pressure. Some patients with hypothyroidism often show symptoms such as depression, irritability, sulking, anxiety, etc., which may eventually lead to depression and even damage brain function, and in severe cases, dementia or even drowsiness.

Studies have shown that hypothyroidism can achieve two-way regulation of depression and anxiety symptoms by affecting endogenous neural factors in hippocampus. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt to the changes of seasons and adopt appropriate psychological adjustment methods, so as not to make emotions go too far and hurt the spleen and kidney yang.

Spring belongs to wood, corresponding to liver. The liver governs discouragement, and is happy for the gas in the heart and hatred. Therefore, in spring, we must restrain anger and avoid bad mental stimulation, which is conducive to the growth of yang. Summer is a fire, and the climate is hot, so the human body can easily feel spiritual stimulation.

Food to protect thyroid gland

1 Apple

Pectin, which is rich in apples and other fruits, has detoxification effect and can excrete toxic compounds such as mercury in blood through urine. However, because most pectin exists in the peel, it is best to eat apples with the skin after washing.

2.oysters

Oysters are an important food source of zinc. The human body needs enough zinc to activate the production of thyroxine. A healthy thyroid is inseparable from adequate zinc. At the same time, the human body also needs enough thyroid hormone to absorb zinc.

3. Chicken

Chicken is rich in amino acids, especially tyrosine and dopamine, which are essential for the production of thyroxine. Lack of tyrosine in diet may lead to hypothyroidism, while lack of dopamine may lead to overeating and obesity. Chicken is also rich in vitamin B 12, and hypothyroidism patients also need to supplement this nutrition.

4.yogurt

Yogurt contains natural vitamin D. A new study published in the International Journal of Health Science found that vitamin D deficiency is more likely to lead to obesity and thyroid diseases. More than 90% patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (an autoimmune disease) are deficient in vitamin D.

5. Salmon

Deep-sea fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and have anti-inflammatory effects. A new study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry shows that eating salmon regularly helps to reduce glandular inflammation and is beneficial to thyroid health.
