A vegan diet for thyroid problems, can it work to balance hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s?
Many people are discovering the amazing, scientifically-proven benefits of a vegan diet, but will a vegan diet work for your hypothyroidism or Hashimotos?
If you have been diagnosed with Hashimoto thyroid disease, then you’ve probably been told by your doctor that it’s an irreversible chronic disease.
Women are much more likely than men to develop hypothyroidism and it affects 4% to 10% of women, and this increases with age
Many of them are searching for a solution to help them: so will a vegan diet work for them?
Hashimoto autoimmune disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, causing 90% of all cases.
This means the immune system is producing antibodies that are affecting the body’s own healthy tissues, which negatively impacts your thyroid gland’s functioning.
If you have Hashimoto’s thyroid disease, you are at a higher risk of developing other autoimmune disorders and, to a lesser extent, a specific form of thyroid cancer.
Symptoms of Hashimoto thyroid disease can be many and these include:
– Fatigue and sluggishness
– Increased sensitivity to cold
– Low libido
– Constipation
– Pale, dry skin
– A puffy face
– Hair loss
– Hoarse voice
– Unexplained weight gain
– Muscle aches, tenderness, and stiffness
– Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
– Depression and anxiety.
– Insulin resistance
– Infertility
You definitely should not ignore a high level of thyroid antibodies; you can reverse them through diet and lifestyle changes.
