Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's How much protein should be consumed by those with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's?
Adequate protein intake is a key nutritional factor in preventing loss of muscle mass and strength, frailty, and associated comorbidities in later life. In addition, research shows that a deficiency of dietary protein can impair immune function and increase susceptibility to infectious diseases.
Today, I’m sharing why adequate protein intake should be a critical component of your thyroid healing journey, how to know the right amount of protein to consume, and specific considerations for people with hyperthyroidism or Hashimoto’s.
