How can I boost my thyroid naturally?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Roasted seaweed are naturally rich in iodine, a trace element needed for normal thyroid function. Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, and hazelnuts are excellent sources of selenium, which helps support healthy thyroid function. Baked fish, frozen yogurt, fresh eggs are also good for thyroid.

Is tea good for diabetics?
Research suggests that green tea, turmeric tea, hibiscus tea, cinnamon tea, lemon balm tea, chamomile tea, and black tea may improve insulin sensitivity and offer impressive antidiabetic effects. Hence, they can be included in diet. Milk sugars are carbohydrates, particularly lactose, is not good but milk fats are good for diabetes. Hence, you may consume milk seperately in moderation but it is better to not add in tea.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. About a year ago, she had some breathing issues, so we went to the nearby hospital. The doctors ran a bunch of heart-related tests like an ECG and a 2D echo, but everything came back normal. Then they discovered she has hypothyroidism and prescribed some medication for that. They also recommended she take Prolomet XL 50 mg. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary for her to be on that medication too? Can we safely stop giving her the Prolomet XL?
