The thyroid is the small gland that sits in the front part of the neck, in front of the vocal cords. It supports vital functions and when it is in poor condition, that is to say in cases of hyperthyroidism, it disrupts sleep, weight, transit and mood. Certain foods can help you take care of it.
What does she need?
The thyroid needs several elements to function properly:
proteins, including tyrosine, which helps in the production of thyroid hormones. It is found in meats, eggs, fish, shellfish, legumes, cheeses or tofu for example.
Iodine
Selenium
Le zinc
The iron, found in black pudding, seaweed, oysters, calf’s liver, dried apricots, cashew nuts.
Magnesiumpresent in fish, oilseeds, dark chocolate and whole grains.
For vitamins A, present in fish, meat, cod liver oil, butter, dairy products, cheese.
The vitamin D, in cod liver, herring, or dark chocolate, for example.
Brazil nuts
One Brazil nut contains 95 micrograms of selenium. It therefore exceeds the needs of men, who must consume 70 micrograms daily and those of women with 55 micrograms.
Molds
These contain 195 micrograms of iodine per unit. However, an adult needs 150 micrograms a day. On the other hand, it should not be abused, because an overconsumption of iodine can affect the thyroid.
Liver
Pork liver contains 18 milligrams of iron per 100 grams, calf liver 12 mg of zinc per 100 grams. However, these last elements are essential for the proper functioning of the thyroid. In addition, they are both rich in vitamins A and B2.
Eggs
Eggs are rich in tyrosine, an amino acid that aids in the production of thyroid hormones, helping the gland to function properly. It is produced from phenylalanine, contained in eggs.
legumes
The latter are rich in iron, helping in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. They contain 2.8 milligrams per 100 grams. In men, the recommended daily allowance is 10 milligrams per day and 16 to 20 milligrams in women.
