Is broccoli bad for thyroid?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It's not good for thyroid as cruiciferous vegetables such as broccoli interfere with how your thyroid uses iodine.

  1. Moderation is Key: Broccoli is generally safe and beneficial due to its nutrients. Consume it in moderation.

  2. Cooking Benefits: Cooking broccoli reduces goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function.

  3. Iodine Intake: Ensure adequate iodine intake to minimize any potential impact on thyroid health.

  4. Consult Your Doctor: Discuss dietary choices with your healthcare provider, especially if you have thyroid conditions.

In summary, broccoli is not inherently bad for thyroid issues but should be consumed wisely.

I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I've noticed an issue with my chest. It's starting to look like it's growing similar to a girl's breasts. I'm really concerned about this and unsure what steps to take next. Could you advise me on what might be happening or what I should do about it?

it might be due to hormonal changes, monitor for other features like reduced beard, short height, if so refer to gynecologist

I recently got my test results for Vitamin D, calcium, and B12. The results showed Calcium at 9.46 mgdL, Vitamin B12 at 436 pgmL, Vitamin D2 at 1.02 ngmL, Vitamin D3 at 17.9 ngmL, and overall Vitamin D at 18.92 ngmL. I realize my Vitamin B12 is on the lower side and Vitamin D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?
