Healthy eating is one of the trends that generate the most food-related innovations in the world each year. This has been going on for a few decades and it will certainly continue to be the case for some time to come. As science continually evolves, we learn more every day about the impact of our diet on our current and future health which plays out in the food market. In fact, the very definition of a healthy diet is changing.
I take medication for my thyroid. Are there any foods or supplements that might interact with it? @NutritionistHudaShaikh

Hey avoid taking any kind of food or water before taking medicine (take it in empty stomach) After taking medicine avoid food and water intake for 1 hour Do not take any cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli) Take iodine rich foods such as iodised salt, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt

Hi there, I hope you are well. -Yes , certain foods such as soybean, walnuts, calcium, dietary fibre, calcium fortified foods must be avoided immediately after consuming your thyroid medications. You need to keep a gap of an hour or two before consumption of the same. -After consuming thyroid medications, keep a gap of at least 30mins- 1hr before consuming a meal. - Calcium, iron supplements, and antacids can interfere with the absorption of thyroid medications, and hence, you must consume these (only if suggested or needed) atleast 3-4hrs apart :) I hope this helps, take care :)
