As the saying goes, during the New Year's holidays, especially during the Spring Festival holiday, we will all gain three pounds.
"Eating" has become a top priority. The table is full of delicacies, and the meal is inseparable from big fish and meat, and it is inevitable to be surprised.
According to past experience, the period after the Spring Festival is often the peak period for thyroid disease. On the one hand, it is related to the seasonal appearance of thyroid disease, and on the other hand, the patient's unreasonable work and rest time and diet during the Spring Festival holiday are also closely related.
So during the Spring Festival, how should thyroid nodules be eaten to avoid recurrence or aggravation of the disease?
Dietary precautions for Spring Festival for patients with nodules
Eat less high-sugar foods
For example, cakes, candies, chocolates, etc., contain a lot of sugar, which may not only affect the metabolism of thyroid hormones after consumption, but also may trigger an inflammatory response, and chronic inflammatory states may lead to the occurrence and progression of thyroid disease.
Eat less high-salt foods
For example, bacon, bacon, sausages, etc., may increase iodine intake, stimulate the thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormones, which may trigger or aggravate the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Eat less fried foods
For example, fried chicken, grilled fish, etc., may stimulate the growth of thyroid nodules and make thyroid nodules enlarge.
Drink less alcoholic beverages
For example, white wine, red wine, beer, and cocktails may affect the pituitary gland to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormones, resulting in decreased thyroid function.
Patients with thyroid nodules should also pay attention to regular work and rest, get enough sleep, avoid overwork, get less angry, and maintain emotional stability.
