Advanced stage of thyroid cancer

Thyroid cancer is a relatively common malignant tumor, and most patients suffer from the disease worsened by a lack of iodine in their bodies. The thyroid gland plays a very important role in the human body. Its main function is to help regulate the body's metabolism. Generally, iodide can be obtained from the daily diet, and then these iodides are absorbed by the human body and then taken up by the thyroid gland.

In the past, many people did not have much idea about thick neck disease. In fact, thick neck disease is caused by the fact that the human body does not take in enough iodide. This is a warning from the body. Generally, supplementing some iodide can make the thick neck disappear.

Thyroid patients with hypothyroidism caused by iodine deficiency need to use appropriate amounts of kelp and laver, and can use iodized salt, iodized soy sauce, iodized eggs and bread to add iodine. When cooking, please note that iodized salt wood should be placed in boiling oil to prevent iodine from volatilizing and reducing the iodine concentration. Protein supplements can be obtained from eggs, milk, various meats, and fish; plant proteins can be complementary, such as various soy products, soybeans, etc. Providing animal livers can correct anemia, and it is also necessary to ensure the supply of a variety of vegetables and fresh fruits.

It should be noted that patients with advanced thyroid disease should avoid various raw goitrogens, such as cabbage, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, cassava, walnuts, etc.; avoid foods rich in cholesterol, such as butter, animal brains and offal. Limit the intake of high-fat foods, such as cooking oil, peanuts, walnut kernels, almonds, sesame paste, ham, pork belly, sweet cheese, etc.

Patients need to consume at least 20 grams of protein every day to maintain the body's protein balance. Amino acids are the basic components of protein, and about 3% of protein is constantly renewed every day. In hypothyroidism, the renewal rate of the small intestinal mucosa slows down, the digestive juice secretion glands are affected, the enzyme activity decreases, and the general albumin decreases. Therefore, essential amino acids should be supplemented to provide sufficient protein to improve the condition.

Thyroid patients should not be discouraged when they reach the late stage. They should maintain an optimistic attitude and pay attention to their diet. They should eat more iodine-containing foods and fresh vegetables and fruits. These can help alleviate the condition to a certain extent.
