Signs of hypothyroidism

Hyperthyroidism in laboratory studies is characterized by increased levels of free thyroid hormones in the blood and usually reduced or inhibited secretion of thyroid hormone (TSH).Overproduced hormones cause increased breakdown of proteins, fats and glucose stores.Matter changes are rapidly accelerated, so people with hyperthyroidity may experience a marked decrease in body weight.Additionally, they may occur: eye strain, nausea, fever, high blood pressure, increased hunger and appetite.

Overuse of the thyroid gland diet

The main goal of the diet for a person with hyperthyroidism is to provide an increased amount of energy to meet the increased needs of the body. Calorie intake depends on the severity of the disease. It is usually increased by 15 25%, and in severe hyperactivity up to 50 80%. The amount of protein in the diet should be 1.5 2 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, of which more than half of the protein should be animal or high-quality plant origin, alongside increased requirements for vitamins A, C, E, and B-complex to manage elevated metabolic turnover.
