Is honey good for hypothyroidism?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, honey destroys the toxins of the body and also reduces the problem of the thyroid. In addition, honey contains omega-3 fatty acids that balance the hormones.

Nutritional Aspect:
Honey contains antioxidants and small amounts of vitamins and minerals, which can be beneficial for overall health. -
Blood Sugar Impact:
Honey is a form of sugar and can affect blood sugar levels. Moderation is important, especially since hypothyroidism can increase the risk of insulin resistance. -
No Direct Effect on Thyroid:
Honey does not directly influence thyroid hormone levels or thyroid function. -
Use in Diet:
It can be used as a natural sweetener instead of refined sugars but should not replace any thyroid medications. -
Consult Your Doctor:
Always discuss dietary changes with your healthcare provider, especially if you have other health conditions or are on medication.
In summary, honey is generally safe and can be part of a balanced diet for someone with hypothyroidism, but it should be consumed in moderation.

It seems you're experiencing chronic constipation and using Eldoper (Loperamide) to manage symptoms. _Eldoper's Impact on the Liver_ Loperamide is generally considered safe, but long-term use can cause: 1. Liver enzyme elevation 2. Rare cases of liver damage _Approach to Address the Issue_ 1. Consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. 2. Discuss alternative treatments, such as: - Fiber supplements - Laxatives (e.g., Psyllium, Bisacodyl) - Probiotics - Bowel habit modification 3. Consider colonoscopy or other diagnostic tests to rule out underlying conditions. 4. Monitor liver function tests (LFTs) regularly if you continue using Loperamide. _Additional Tips_ 1. Increase fiber intake through diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) 2. Stay hydrated 3. Establish a regular bowel routine 4. Avoid relying solely on Loperamide for symptom management

I'm a 34-year-old male, and I recently checked my random blood sugar level, which came out to be 153. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean for my health?
A random blood sugar level of 153 mgdL is considered elevated, but not necessarily indicative of diabetes; however, it's a red flag, especially for someone as young as 34, and warrants further evaluation, such as a fasting blood sugar test, HbA1c, or an oral glucose tolerance test, to determine if you're at risk for developing insulin resistance, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes
