Every spring, there will be a large number of fruits ripening, these seasonal fruits not only taste good, but also supplement the various nutrients needed by our body.
What is the effect of eating fruit regularly on thyroid nodules?
"The Lancet" magazine, once conducted a survey of the mainland thyroid disease group, this survey is mainly aimed at the causes of the high incidence of thyroid patients in the mainland, the results of the survey show that the cause of thyroid nodules in the mainland is related to the lack of fruit consumption in normal times.
The Chinese Medical Association has also publicly stated that thyroid nodule patients usually eat more fruits, which can assist the dissipation of nodules. Therefore, many thyroid patients have the habit of eating fruit.
However, the Spring Festival temperature is low, the planting cost is high, it is inevitable that some fruit farmers will use hormone spraying to improve the yield and ripening rate of the fruit, and such a fruit, not only can not help dissipate the nodules, but it is easy to promote the growth of nodules.
Spring is coming, these 3 "hormone" fruits, will cause thyroid nodules, tell the family to buy less
1. Bananas
Spring is also the season when bananas are ripe, many people think that bananas sprayed with ethylene are hormone bananas, this view is wrong, ethylene will only accelerate the speed of banana yellowing, and will not ripen, and ethylene itself will not cause harm to the human body.
Bananas that really use hormones have a very obvious characteristic, that is, they are very straight. Bananas bend slowly when they are about to ripen, while hormone-based bananas do not. Therefore, which hard and straight bananas are encountered, most of them are bananas containing hormones, try to buy as little as possible. So as not to cause too much hormone, causing irritation to the thyroid gland.
2. Strawberries
In the spring, the price of strawberries will slowly come down, and the hormone-beaten strawberries are easy to distinguish, although the color is bright, but the taste is sour, and it is hard to pinch. If the top of the strawberry is blue-green and the rest of the strawberry is red, it is generally a hormonal strawberry.
As the largest endocrine gland in the human body, the thyroid gland will greatly increase the burden on the thyroid gland after hormones enter the body, and if a large amount of hormone fruits are consumed, it will further cause thyroid cancer and other diseases.
3. Cucumber with flowers
Cucumber is both a fruit and a vegetable, not only good taste, high nutritional value, which contains a lot of dietary fiber and vitamins, often eaten, can help inhibit the inflammatory response caused by thyroid disease. However, those cucumbers containing hormones should not be eaten more, so as not to accelerate the growth of nodules.
After the cucumber is ripe, if you still have flowers, it is not recommended that you buy it, because most of these cucumbers are sprayed with hormones. When buying cucumbers, it is recommended to choose cucumbers that have become flowered at the tail and can be erased with thorns on the surface, so that the cucumbers not only taste good, but also have high nutritional value.
If you want to loosen the knot in the spring, you can do 2 more things in addition to avoiding fruit
1. Take Chinese herbal medicine
The recovery of thyroid nodules is a long process, while eating a light diet, patients can supplement some herbs that are beneficial to the thyroid gland, such as baizhi, reed root, platycodon, honeysuckle, etc., which can not only accelerate the recovery of the disease, but also will not cause discomfort.
Among them, Bai Zhi has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, which can reduce some discomfort caused by thyroid diseases; honeysuckle detoxification and swelling can accelerate the dissipation of thyroid nodules; Reed root, licorice and goji berries can provide nutrients needed by the thyroid gland and provide sufficient nutritional support for the thyroid gland.
The selenium element in malt can be directly involved in the metabolism of the thyroid gland, helping to improve the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, enhancing the activity of thyroid cells, and reducing the possibility of worsening the disease.
In addition to Chinese herbal medicine, patients can also choose nutritional mixtures, whether it is more convenient to eat or carry, and the herbs complement each other, which can better exert the medicinal effect.
2. Get enough sleep
A good routine can help regulate the secretion of thyroid hormones and stabilize the endocrine of the body to a certain extent. This is more beneficial for the dissipation of thyroid nodules. It is recommended to fall asleep before 11 o'clock every day and maintain more than 8 hours of sleep. #Health Star Program ##每日养生小常识 #
