Re: hyperthyroidism digest Copper from food sources

[Guest guest]

Dear Candace,

One advantage from getting copper or any other mineral from food rather

than supplements is that our body can utilize it better, and we don't

usually need as much. I suspect the sunflower seeds are a great idea, easy

to add to many foods. I've been looking for this and have not had much

success. If you have other foods that supply other supplements on the list,

I'd appreciate it!

I know soybeans daily are good for hyperthyroid people and that broccoli

and cabbage are great for sulfur. I have also found that eggs have most

every one of the vit/min. on 's list.

I have one question for you though. Must the seeds be raw to get that

much copper out of them?

Waiting to here more,

What about the salt on sunflower seeds, is it enough to hurt hypers?

I have found some unsalted, shelled ones out there-they are not as popular,

but they are there!

Joyce,

Beans and corn together sounds good, although very starchy. I'm trying to

lower my carbs, and eat more lean protein and veggies. A soy stir fry was

perfect! I should eat more beans, though--I guess they're a good protein

source.

Someone once told me that beans and corn is a complete protein.

Beans and corn eaten TOGETHER comprise a complete protein. It does not

have to be soybeans, which I don't like.

Dear Deb,

Nice to know there are others who also don't know what to eat! This doesn't

solve our problem, but misery loves company! I was told to eat soy when I

was hyperT. I have been well for about 2 1/2 years now, and eat what I want

(at least as pertains to thyroid function--I am trying to keep my weight

down, which is why I want to eat more lean protein). I'm at a pretty good

weight for my height (5''9 " , about 138 lbs.), but am always looking to lose

that extra 5 pounds so my body can look 20 again (which it won't anyway, even

if I do lose the 5 pounds). Anyway, I don't want to gain any weight, and so

try to eat well and exercise regularly. If only I could find a super source

of vegetarian protein . . .

Take care,

AntJoan

Ant Joan,

The hair analysis classed me as a slow metabolizer type 1

parasympathetic and advised me to limit soy. I was drinking a lot of soy

milk and eating tofu also. It said to stop soy beans (I guess soy

milk)for 4 days then eat it no more often than every 3 days because it

can be a food to depress thyroid function. It also said to stop soy

flour and tofu until next hair exam because this is a food which impedes

adrenal function. Now...I am hyper, maybe hypo to begin with. So, I

guess you don't want to depress thyroid function, or do you because you

are producing too much hormone??

It is confusing. And...yes, I don't know what to eat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deb
