impact the body\u2019s ability to produce thyroid hormones<\/a>, according to one study. Researchers note that alcohol has a toxic effect on the thyroid gland and suppresses the body\u2019s ability to use thyroid hormone. People with hypothyroidism should cut out alcohol completely or drink in moderation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nProcessed Foods <\/h2>\n\n\n\n Word to the wise: if you have hypothyroidism, avoid packaged processed foods, including frozen meals. Processed foods contain a lot of preservatives, excess sodium, and added sugars. Doctors suggest that people with hypothyroidism should avoid sodium because an underactive thyroid increases a person\u2019s risk of high blood pressure. Eating lots of salt can further increase that risk. Always read the nutritional label on food packaging, making sure to keep an eye out for lots of sodium, cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If you enjoy a little caffeine hit to start your morning, be careful if you have hypothyroidism. Studies show that people who took thyroid medication with their morning coffee had uncontrollable thyroid levels. For that reason, doctors tell people to take thyroid medication with water. Wait at least 30 minutes after taking medication to have a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n
