Beat Hypothyroidism with these 3 daily habits

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the leading cause of hypothyroidism.

It’s an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks your thyroid gland.

A new review published in Quality in Sport reveals that your lifestyle choices can make a big difference in managing it.

Even when thyroid hormone levels look “normal” on paper, people with hypothyroidism often feel tired, foggy, or moody.

That’s because this condition causes full-body inflammation, not just a sluggish thyroid.

So researchers wondered: could broad lifestyle changes — like diet, movement, and stress — help reduce symptoms by calming the immune system?

They reviewed dozens of studies and found a clear answer: yes.

Here’s what helps, according to the research…

1. Diet changes that fight inflammation:

● A Western diet high in processed food, sugar, red meat, and bad fats is linked to more inflammation and worse symptoms.

● The Mediterranean diet — rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and olive oil — helps lower thyroid antibodies and improve well-being.

● The Autoimmune Protocol diet (AIP), which removes and then reintroduces common trigger foods, shows promise, too, though it’s harder to stick with.

● Too much iodine (especially in supplements or antiseptics) can worsen symptoms.

● Low levels of selenium, vitamin D, and zinc are common in hypothyroidism, and correcting these with supplements has helped some people lower antibody levels.

2. Exercise improves energy and mood:

● Regular aerobic exercise lowers inflammation, eases fatigue, and improves body composition.

● Just 10 weeks of movement and a Mediterranean diet led to less body fat and smaller waists in women with hypothyroidism.

● Most importantly, physical activity lifts energy and mood, two of the biggest struggles of many suffering hypothyroidism.

3. Lowering stress makes a real difference:

● Chronic stress raises cortisol and other hormones that interfere with thyroid function and worsen inflammation.

● Stress-management techniques like mindfulness, yoga, and cognitive behavioral therapy all showed benefits in improving symptoms and mood.

Daily choices matter. You can support your thyroid and calm your immune system by changing how you eat, move, and manage stress.
