Dear Shaoor F, Thank you for the question

Thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism requires further diagnosis from specific medical experts. It is suggested to contact your health care professional / Endocrinologist for further assistance and management.

Hypothyroidism is generally associated with weight gain, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle and aim for ideal weight management with dietary modification and regular exercise.

Here are few tips to manage Hypothyroidism

Iodised salt, seafood (such as fish and prawns), grains and breads are common dietary sources of iodine. Include iodized salt in your diet and food preparation.
Try to limit the intake of Cruciferous vegetables like kale, turnips, cabbage, cauliflower etc., as they are known as goitrogens which can inhibit the synthesis of thyroid hormones.
Limit the intake of soy products as they contain Goitrogens. They may also be found in soy products like soy chunks, soy granules, tofu, etc.

Along with iodine, Selenium also helps in improving the thyroid functioning. Seafood, organ meats, cereals, poultry, red meat, and eggs are a good source of selenium. Include these foods in your daily balanced diet.

Fat in the liver can come from diet, increased fat production in the liver, or decreased ability of the liver to clear the fat. Genetics can affect all of these processes. Diets that contain high amounts of carbohydrates and sugars (including fructose and high fructose corn syrup) can stimulate fat production in the liver cells.

Lifestyle alteration, including dietary modifications plays an important role in the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
