Algae
If you suffer from hypothyroidism, seaweed is an excellent ally: kelp, nori and wakame are foods naturally rich in iodine, a trace element required for normal thyroid function.

Salted nuts
Another food that can help is nuts: Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts and hazelnuts are good sources of selenium, which helps support healthy thyroid function.

Fish
The same applies to fish, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and selenium, both of which help reduce inflammation. Salmon, cod, sea bass and perch are some of the recommended fish.

Dairy products
