Surprising Superfoods That Support Thyroid Health

Wild-Caught Salmon

Salmon is full of anti-inflammatory omega three fatty acids, which are needed to support cognitive functions, such as reducing depression and brain fog, as well as getting rid of any inflammation that may be plaguing the thyroid. Omega three fatty acids are also an excellent source of vitamin D, which has been linked to the improvement of many autoimmune conditions. Be sure to eat wild-caught salmon as opposed to farm-raised, which is a method of raising fish that includes harmful chemicals, additives, and food dyes.

Fermented Foods

Fermented foods are excellent for supporting gut health, which ultimately affects how well the thyroid functions. They contain probiotics, which are the “good” bacteria found in the gut that is responsible for restoring critical digestive processes, like absorption, elimination, and contributing to a healthy immune response. Snack on unsweetened coconut yogurt with berries in between meals or add a bowl of sauerkraut to a vegetable-based dish for dinner. Supplementing with probiotics may also help.
