What vegies are considered iodine blockers?
Question:
Answers:
Foods known as goitrogens can block iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland; they include turnips, cabbage, mustard, pine nuts, millet, peanuts and soybeans. Until your thyroid health is restored, you may want to avoid these foods completely or eat them very sparingly.
Peanuts and soybeans are quite prevalent in the American diet. Soy shows up often in many commercially made salad dressings, mayonnaise and packaged foods containing textured vegetable protein (soy) such as veggie burgers, energy bars, snack foods and baked goods. Soy milk and soy ice cream commonly are used as an alternative to dairy. Choose only traditional fermented soy foods such as tempeh and soy sauce and eat them sparingly.
Consume plenty of iodine-rich foods.
Iodine is most abundant in sea vegetables, cranberries, fish and eggs. Season foods with dulse, a sea vegetable, or kelp powder in place of salt. Use Celtic sea salt whenever possible; it is loaded with minerals including iodine. Eat more fish, especially the smaller coldwater fish such as salmon (avoid farm raised), sardines, mackerel and snapper, as well as halibut and sole. Avoid the larger fish such as tuna and swordfish; they tend to be higher in mercury, which interferes with thyroid function.
