A common pathology, hyperthyroidism corresponds to an excess of thyroid activity which then begins to produce abnormally high quantities of T3 and T4 hormones. The metabolism, and the body in general, find themselves out of order and plunge into a state of overrev. Hyperthyroidism is manifested by many warning signs, including irritability, sudden weight loss, hair problems, nausea and diarrhea or an abnormally high heart rate. Without appropriate treatment, which may be surgical or medicinal, the disease risks progressing to aggravated forms.
Hyperthyroidism is one of two forms of thyroid disease, along with hypothyroidism. Both diseases can, among other things, be the result of an autoimmune disease. However, they differ in their manifestation. Indeed, while hyperthyroidism causes an overproduction of thyroid hormones, by fully or partially increasing the volume of the thyroid gland, hypothyroidism causes a decrease in activity of the latter. In both cases, the body is altered and requires corresponding treatment. For hyperthyroidism, the activity of the thyroid is inhibited with synthetic antithyroid drugs. The deficit caused by hypothyroidism is filled by synthetic hormones.
Reviewing the diet is essential in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Certain foods, because of their richness in iodine, are to be favored to regulate the thyroid. However, be careful not to exceed 150 µg daily. Without going into excess, remember to put on your plate:
