summary

Hyperthyroidism is a symptom caused by hyperthyroidism. It can make people's body always in an excited state, resulting in people eating more but losing weight. Let's take a look at whether hyperthyroidism can eat iodized salt.

Can hyperthyroidism eat iodized salt

First, 80% to 90% of iodine comes from food, 10% to 20% from drinking water, and the other 5% comes from the air. The respiratory tract and skin can also absorb a small amount of iodine. Patients with hyperthyroidism have a high ability to use iodine. A small amount of iodine can also produce more thyroid hormones.

Second: if normal people take in too much iodine containing food, they can naturally discharge the excess iodine out of the body. But hyperthyroidism patients due to hyperthyroidism, so the excess iodine can not be removed, can only continue to use, which will lead to the synthesis of a large number of thyroid hormones, making the patient's condition double worse.

Third: iodine is the raw material for the production of thyroid hormone. Many foods contain iodine more or less, so if you eat iodized salt again, if you don't pay attention, it will lead to excessive iodine intake. At this time, the patient's condition will naturally worsen, so you can't eat iodized salt.
