How is hyperthyroidism diagnosed

Condition analysis:
Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and do a physical exam.

Then he or she will order blood tests to see how much thyroid hormone your body is making.

In addition, your doctor may discover that you have hyperthyroidism while doing a test for another reason.

Instructions:
1. Broccoli
Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable that contains substances known as isothiocyanates and goitrogens, which help restrain the thyroid from producing too much hormone. Therefore, anyone suffering from hyperthyroidism must try to eat uncooked broccoli as much as possible.

Other cruciferous vegetables that may be helpful are brussel sprouts, cauliflower, rutabaga, turnips, kohlrabi, kale, mustard greens, and radishes.

2. Soy products
Protein-based foods are good for those suffering from hyperthyroidism. Protein transports thyroid hormones to different body tissues.

Research shows that a moderate concentration of soy sterols can help improve Hyperthyroidism. Hence, eating more soy products can help treat the condition.

If you are not a big fan of soy products, try to include nuts, quinoa, eggs, farmed fish and legumes in your diet.
