This is typically done with medication. One medication that is commonly used is called levothyroxine. Taken orally, this medication increases the amount of thyroid hormone your body produces, evening out your levels. You can treat hypothyroidism by eating iodine-rich food. Foods that are high in iodine are- Eggs, and Dairy products. Please plan it with your dietician. Other than that please perform some physical activity. Thanks!

@romania Hello, Thyroid disease is a group of disorders that affects the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones are crucial for the normal development of your baby’s brain and nervous system. During the first trimester—the first 3 months of pregnancy—your baby depends on your supply of thyroid hormone, which comes through the placenta. At around 12 weeks, your baby’s thyroid starts to work on its own, but it doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone until 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. Thyroid problems can be hard to diagnose in pregnancy due to higher levels of thyroid hormones and other symptoms that occur in both pregnancy and thyroid disorders. Some symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism are easier to spot and may prompt your doctor to test you for these thyroid diseases. To avoid thyroid one should eat dairy foods, seafood, eggs, meat, poultry, and iodized salt. Thanks.

@shahrukh Yes, Iodine is an essential mineral. the thyroid gland uses it to make thyroid hormones, which help control growth, repair damaged cells, and support a healthy metabolism. Sodium deficiency can enlarge the thyroid gland This is called a goiter. It makes thyroid hormones upon receiving a signal from the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). When blood levels of TSH rise, the thyroid gland uses iodine to make thyroid hormones. However, when your body is low in iodine, it can’t make enough of them. The thyroid gland works harder to try to make more. This causes the cells to grow and multiply, eventually leading to a goiter. If a goiter hasn’t been treated for many years, it might cause permanent thyroid damage.
