How should the hyperthyroidism diet menu be matched?

Hyperthyroidism is a disease caused by low immunity. Studies have found that it is closely related to lack of sleep and mental stress. In order to completely stay away from the troubles caused by this disease, in addition to drug treatment, you should also pay more attention to diet. Buddha's hand porridge, kelp and seaweed drink, Sichuan Fritillary Kelp Porridge, assorted tofu, etc. are all good therapeutic recipes.

1. Causes of hyperthyroidism

Causes of hyperthyroidism include diffuse toxic goiter (also known as Graves' disease), inflammatory hyperthyroidism (subacute thyroiditis, painless thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis, and Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism), drug-induced hyperthyroidism (levothyroxine sodium and iodine-induced hyperthyroidism), hCG-related hyperthyroidism (transient hyperthyroidism due to vomiting of pregnancy), and pituitary TSH tumor hyperthyroidism.

Clinically, more than 80% of hyperthyroidism is caused by Graves' disease, which is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland. The patient's lymphocytes produce thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin-TSI. Clinically, the TSI we measure is the thyrotropin receptor antibody: TRAb. The cause of Graves' disease is currently unclear. It may be related to factors such as fever, lack of sleep, and mental stress, but clinically the cause of the disease cannot be found in the vast majority of patients. Graves' disease is often combined with other autoimmune diseases, such as vitiligo, alopecia, type 1 diabetes, etc.
