I had thyroid,sugar and BP how to maintain a balance of health

Question

1. Eat whole foods and consider taking supplements. Supporting our thyroid through consuming wholesome foods rich in the right micro nutrients is ideal. But it isn't always possible to do this on a regular basis. Using a high-quality multivitamin and mineral supplement can help deficiencies in thyroid imbalance.

2. Use herbs. There are many herbs that can support thyroid function, such as, ashwaganda when combined with iodine and selenium, these herbs can help boost energy and support healthy metabolism.

3. Address stress. Chronic stress leads to elevated levels of cortisol, the primary stress hormone, which over time can overwork thyroid hormones, eventually leading to hypothyroidism. A good way to minimize physical stress is to actually eat more often.

4. Sit and enjoy your meals: when we are rushed and hurry to eat, or eat standing at the kitchen counter, in the car, or at our desks, our digestive systems do not work as well as they do when we are relaxed and comfortable while eating. Sitting down and enjoying our meals not only helps nourish our bodies, it helps our thyroid by reducing the stress associated with hurrying.

Also the following elements will help in the diet:-

1. Iodine: this is the most important trace element found in thyroid functioning. Without iodine, our thyroid does not have the basic building blocks it needs to make the necessary hormones to support all of the tissues in the body.

2. Selenium (se): this element is indispensable to our thyroid in several ways. Selenium-containing enzymes protect the thyroid gland when we are under stress, working like a detox.

3. Zinc (zn): these three trace metals are vital to thyroid function. Low levels of zinc can cause t4, t3, and the thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh) to also become low.

4. Iron (fe: decreased levels of iron can result in decreased thyroid function as well. When combined with an iodine deficiency, iron must be replaced to repair the thyroid imbalance.

5. Copper (cu: copper is needed to help produce tsh, and maintain t4 production. T4 helps cholesterol regulation, and some research even indicates copper deficiency may contribute to higher cholesterol and heart issues.

6. Antioxidants and b vitamins: most people have heard that antioxidants are important to help temper oxidative stress, and thus combat degenerative diseases as well as improve the aging process.

7. Vitamin a (commonly known as beta-carotene), c, and e, along with iodine and selenium, help the thyroid gland mitigate oxidative stress.
