Can't people with thyroid cancer eat broccoli?

Clinically, there is no saying that thyroid cancer patients cannot eat broccoli. Thyroid cancer patients can eat broccoli appropriately. Broccoli is rich in nutrients and can supplement nutrients for the body. It usually does not cause adverse effects on the condition. However, excessive consumption of broccoli should be avoided to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causing discomfort such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain.

Thyroid cancer refers to a malignant tumor originating from the follicular epithelium or parafollicular epithelial cells of the thyroid gland. The basic cause is related to genetic factors, iodine intake, ionizing radiation, external radiation and other environmental factors. Patients generally have no obvious symptoms in the early stages. When the tumor grows to a certain extent, a lump in the neck may appear, which may also be accompanied by symptoms such as a foreign body sensation in the throat and swallowing discomfort. Broccoli is rich in vitamin C, carotenoids, dietary fiber, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Appropriate consumption by thyroid cancer patients can supplement the body with the nutrients they need without causing adverse effects on the condition. However, excessive consumption should be avoided to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causing discomfort such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain.

For patients with thyroid cancer, they should pay attention to adjusting their diet in daily life and eat more high-nutrition, high-fiber foods, such as fish, eggs, celery, etc. Avoid spicy foods, such as peppers, garlic, etc. Also, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid cold, and keep a happy mood.
