Hi! I'm Stelios Pantazis.
I'm a doctor and I specialize in
medical nutrition and metabolic disorders.
Our subject today is the foods
the help and harm
people diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease.
I've already posted two videos
on Hashimoto's disease,
and if you haven't watched them,
you should watch them
after you watch this video,
because you'll find some
of the information there.
Let's see which foods help people
suffering from Hashimoto's disease.
Fruits and leafy vegetables.
Fruits and leafy vegetables are
the best choices you can make in your diet
either you suffer from anything or not.
Fruits and vegetables should be the base
of our food pyramid.
This applies to people suffering
from Hashimoto's disease too,
which is driven by inflammation
in the thyroid,
because fruits and vegetables contain
abundant anti-inflammatory
and antioxidant substances
that fight inflammation in the body.
Cruciferous vegetables.
The cruciferous family includes
extremely healthy vegetables
such as broccoli, cauliflower,
cabbage, rocket etc.
You may have heard that cruciferous
vegetables contain goitrogens
that may damage the thyroid.
In a previous video, I've talked
extensively about this subject,
but, for now, just remember that you can
consume cruciferous vegetables,
but not in huge amounts,
and cooked as often as possible.
In this way, you'll have no problem.
Starchy vegetables.
Starchy vegetables such as potatoes,
sweet potatoes, peas and pumpkin
are particularly crucial for our health
and they should be included in the diet of
a person suffering from Hashimoto's disease.
Olive oil.
We don't have to say much about olive oil,
just that it's considered
one of the most important magical
ingredients of the Mediterranean diet.
Obviously, it helps here too.
Gluten-free cereals.
As I've explained in a previous video
on the ideal diet of people suffering
from Hashimoto's disease,
if you suffer from it, you'd better
limit or even quit gluten.
The gluten-free cereals are brown rice,
quinoa, millet, buckwheat and amaranth,
although usually oat is okay too.
Dried nuts.
Dried nuts are rich in antioxidant
and anti-inflammatory substances
and they are very healthy for all of us,
but even more for people suffering
from Hashimoto's disease.
If you are overweight, however,
you'd better not eat
huge amounts of dried nuts.
However, in the 80,000 cases that I've seen,
rarely have I recommended
the limitation of dried nuts
to people trying to lose weight.
I've noticed that the problem
is usually something else.
Legumes.
Besides fruits and vegetables,
the next significant ingredient of the best
diet in the world, the Mediterranean diet,
are legumes.
Let me remind you
that you should choose legumes
with as bright colors as you can find.
They're richer in antioxidant
and anti-inflammatory substances
and they may also be tastier.
For example, if you haven't done so already,
you can introduce black lentils
and black beans, which are really rich
in beneficial substances, into your diet.
Fish.
Good-quality fish and legumes
are the most important sources
of quality protein
in the Mediterranean diet.
Therefore, besides eating legumes
1-2 times a week,
the same goes for fish, particularly
the fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids,
such as sardine, anchovy, trout,
chub mackerel, mackerel and horse mackerel.
Spices and herbs.
Turmeric, the yellow powder
from the plant's root
that includes the particularly useful
substance called curcumin,
is unfortunately not common in our diet.
But this doesn't prevent us
from introducing it into it.
You can enrich almost every pot meal
with turmeric and other spices,
making them much more nutritious
and much tastier.
Moreover, herbs such as dill, parsley
and celery are not missing from our diet
and they are ingredients that make it
very nutritious and tasty.
Now that we've seen which foods
are particularly beneficial
for people suffering
from Hashimoto's disease,
we'll see which foods should be avoided
by people suffering from this disease.
Processed foods.
As we've said in a previous video,
people diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease
must make sure their weight is normal.
Unfortunately, processed foods, such as
sugar or consumer pastries and charcuterie,
don't contain any fibers
and have high energy density,
namely too many calories
packaged in a small amount of food.
This makes it hard to lose weight
and it usually leads
to significant weight increase.
Therefore, foods rich in sugar, white flour,
charcuterie and other processed foods
should not be included in the diet of
a person diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease.
Dairy.
As I've said in a previous video,
people suffering from Hashimoto's disease
often seem to be lactose intolerant too.
This should be a reason
urging you to limit dairy
and quit milk, if you suffer
from Hashimoto's disease.
