Nutrients help protect and enhance thyroid function

Thanh Thanh (Theo FOOD.NDTV) |

Supplementing nutrients such as selenium, zinc... from natural foods can support hormone production, reduce inflammation and protect the thyroid gland.

Selen

Selenium is an important mineral for thyroid function, directly involved in the production and metabolism of hormones. Supplementing enough selenium helps improve thyroid function, and at the same time, supports protecting cells from damage caused by inflammation and oxidative stress.

Iodine

Iodine is an essential component for thyroid hormone synthesis. Iodine deficiency can impair thyroid function and affect the body's metabolism.

Natural iodine sources are found in seaweed such as kelp, some seafood and fruits such as strawberries. A reasonable iodine supplement helps maintain stable thyroïde activity.

Antioxidants

Oxygenated stress caused by free radicals can damage the thyroid gland. Therefore, foods rich in antioxidants play an important role in protecting this organ.

Berries, cherries, strawberries or astringent fruits help reduce inflammation, boost immunity and limit the risk of long-term damage.

Zinc

Zinc is closely related to the regulation of hormones and thyroïde activity. Maintaining adequate zinc helps improve immune function and support metabolism. Pumpkin seeds are a rich natural source of zinc.

Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 helps reduce inflammation, supports endocrine balance and maintains thyroid health. Plant omega-3 sources are found in flax seeds, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. Supplementing a small amount of flaxseed oil daily or increasing plant-based foods is a simple way to provide this nutrient.
