The thyroid gland, one of the most important endocrine organs of the human body, is located near the neck and resembles a butterfly. Its main responsibility is to synthesize and secrete thyroid hormones, which play a role in maintaining growth and development, metabolism and so on.
In general, the thyroid gland is small in size, hidden in location, and its health or not is easy to ignore.
"Not to erupt in silence, but to perish in silence", the thyroid gland relies on a variety of diseases to brush the sense of existence in front of people. In recent years, thyroid lesions such as nodules, goiter, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism have been detected in some groups.
However, thyroid diseases are more well-behaved, more than 90% of thyroid nodules are benign, and there are almost no lesions and cancerous problems. However, everyone can not completely relax their minds, we should pay attention to such diseases, and follow the doctor's advice to strangle malignant lesions in the cradle.
Now is the era of national health, some health experts will also turn their attention to thyroid maintenance, recently circulated, people with a bad thyroid gland, should not drink milk, will increase the chance of lesions. Is there any scientific basis for such claims? Xiaobian analyzes for you:
People with a bad thyroid gland, can they choose to drink milk?
Strictly speaking, milk is also considered an "imported product", originating in Western countries, through cultural exchanges between the East and the West, introduced to the mainland, and gradually became a regular guest at the table. Milk has a relatively high nutritional value and is rich in protein, calcium, vitamins, high-quality fats and other trace mineral elements.
Milk is very friendly to minors and the elderly, the former drinking, can promote bone development, strengthen bone density, prevent "growth pain", "rickets"; the latter drinking, can delay the rate of calcium loss, prevent bone hyperplasia, osteoporosis and other diseases of the elderly.
Of course, adults can also drink milk in moderation, which can act as a protein in three meals a day, strengthen memory, improve work efficiency and other effects.
Taken together, milk seems to be a drink for all ages.
For people with poor thyroid can drink milk, we must analyze specific problems for different types of diseases:
First of all, hypothyroidism patients, thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion is insufficient, will lead to a decline in resistance, causing a variety of complications, such people drink milk in moderation, can supplement nutrition for the body, balance endocrine, form a positive stimulation of the thyroid gland, improve physical condition.
Secondly, thyroid nodules, hyperthyroidism patients, thyroid hormone secretion is slightly higher than normal, although the thyroid gland is not the main digestive and absorption organ, but it is located in the digestive tract through the place, excessive drinking of milk, will also cause it to stimulate, to control the intake, to avoid negative effects.
Finally, from a comprehensive point of view, the statement that "people with a bad thyroid gland cannot drink milk" is more one-sided.
Any food, there is no "can not eat" problem, we should focus on "how to eat, how to eat" aspect. Milk is not a "hair" of thyroid disease, but it is also necessary to control the intake, about 150 grams to 200 grams per day, should not be consumed too much.
Doctors remind: Daily maintenance of the thyroid gland, should do 3 eat less, 3 eat more
【3 Eat less】
1. Spicy and stimulating foods
Excessive consumption of such foods will damage the gastrointestinal mucosa, increase the burden of digestion, induce gastric ulcers, chronic gastritis and other diseases.
As mentioned above, the thyroid gland and the digestive system "live next to each other", often eat spicy and irritating foods, will also cause a corresponding burden on it, thyroid disease patients should take the initiative to stay away.
2. Greasy food
Braised pork, fried chicken, pot wrapped meat, etc. all belong to this category of food, they are all "heat bombs", excessive consumption will lead to excessive fat, induce obesity, slow down the metabolic rate, insufficient blood oxygen supply to the thyroid gland, implicated.
3. High-salt foods
High-salt foods can stimulate blood vessels, accelerate the aging process, lead to instability in internal pressure, and hinder blood circulation; in addition, these foods will also "mole" into the thyroid gland, over time, will cause an inflammatory response.
【3 more to eat】
1. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, vitamin C, etc., which can alleviate malnutrition, reduce the burden on the body, improve thyroid vitality, and ensure normal hormone secretion.
2. Shiitake mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms belong to mushroom foods, high nutritional value, rich in a variety of amino acids, is an essential trace element of the human body, eat shiitake mushrooms in moderation, beneficial and harmless to the body.
3. Celery
Clinical medicine believes that celery is rich in nutrients such as water and plant fiber, which has the effect of reducing swelling and diuresis, relieving muscles and blood, and alleviating constipation. It can be inferred that moderate consumption of such foods may help the nodules dissipate.
