Thyroid Issues

For anyone suffering from thyroid issues: What kind of food should you avoid to promote the health of your thyroid?


• Nightshades: eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes and white potatoes.

These nightshades can shrink the channels of your body.

• Onion and garlic: As onion and garlic act like antiobiotics, they can deplete the friendly gut bacteria and promote the foundation for food allergies and autoimmune diseases.

• Seeds: Avoid chia, hemp and pumpkin seeds as they have a channel clogging function.

• Red meat, pork and processed meat

• Mushrooms: They are channel clogging

• Hard aged cheeses: These cheeses have lost their water and can hence block the channels

• Soy products: Tofu, soy milk, edamame are also channel clogging

• Nut butters: Peanut, almond and cashew nut butter are heavy to cross the throat, although this is the largest channel in the body.

• Cold dairy products: These foods block the channels as they contain fat that congeals when it is cold. Ayurveda always recommends to heat dairy products to make them more digestible.

• Vinegar: Vinegar is too acidic and sour. Use instead fresh lime or lemon juice.
