Goiter and thyroid nodules are conditions that occur as a result of enlargement of the thyroid gland or the formation of lumps within it. These nodules are generally benign, but in some cases, they may require monitoring or treatment. A healthy lifestyle can help support thyroid health.
Healthy Lifestyle Recommendations:
-
Follow a balanced diet with an adequate amount of iodine (neither too little nor too much).
-
Consume iodine-rich foods such as seafood, eggs, and milk.
-
Avoid factors that negatively affect thyroid function, such as smoking and excessive stress.
-
Have regular check-ups with routine thyroid ultrasounds and blood tests.

Avoid processed foods containing refined sugar and additives.
Conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can significantly affect daily life. Healthy lifestyle habits play a crucial role in managing the disease, alongside the treatment process.
Healthy Lifestyle Recommendations:

Adjust your salt intake according to your doctor’s advice.
