Endocrinologist Maria Kaloshina, in an interview with NEWS.ru, spoke about products that will help replenish the lack of iodine in the body. According to Kaloshina, iodized salt, seafood, seaweed, persimmon and feijoa can raise iodine levels if a person is deficient in this element.
The doctor advises adding each product from the list to your daily diet. However, this set of food is not suitable for everyone, warns the endocrinologist. In this case, it is recommended to consume more iodized salt, using it as a seasoning for dishes. In addition, some medicines also contain this type of salt. Therefore, the attending doctor may well prescribe the appropriate tablets to increase the level of iodine in the body, Kaloshina believes.
Previously, nutritionist-nutritionist Irina Mansurova advised people with a problem thyroid gland to build their diet extremely carefully and not eat a lot of salt. However, you should not completely exclude salt, since the body needs it for healthy functioning, Mansurova emphasized.
In addition, vegetarians may have problems with iodine. Such people often do not receive important nutritional elements, and therefore face health problems.
