With that being said, I want to share my eight favorite superfoods that do wonders for thyroid health.
Detoxification is important because some patients with Hashimotos also have heavy metal toxicity.
Fermented foods:
Heres another group of foods that help support a healthy gastrointestinal tract.
you’re free to top bowls with sauerkraut or just eat coconut yogurt plain for breakfast!
Green plantains:
Have you ever had a green plantain?
If not, you should!
Green plantains help support Hashimotos by again promoting optimal gut health.
Coconut oil:
One of the many unwanted side effects of Hashimotos is fatigue.
Coconut oil has even been shown tohelp fight off pathogens in the GI tract.
Selenium is super important when it comes to thyroid health becauseit helps support thyroid hormone metabolism5.
On the flip side, when theres a selenium deficiency, your thyroid suffers.
Seaweed:
I have seaweed on my top superfood list due to its natural iodine content.
Keep in mind that if you suffer from a selenium deficiency, iodine can actually cause more inflammation.
