What You Can Do To Avoid Protein Deficiency
The first thing you can do is to be sure to get at least 70 to 100 grams of high quality
protein per day. This is enough to ensure that your body has enough protein available
and to avoid the added stress of having to break down your own muscle tissue.
You also want to make sure that you are getting high quality protein. And it will probably
come as a surprise but one of the best sources of protein you can get is from bone
broth. It is very anti-inflammatory and contains a very healthy mix of amino acids. It is
the mix of these amino acids that make bone broth great for helping you to overcome
hypothyroidism. There are plenty of great bone broth recipes that you can easily find
online.
Solution #5 – Balance Your Blood Sugar
I touched on blood sugar problems earlier when talking about both stress and liver
congestion. So, hopefully you’re beginning to see how all of these causes promote each
other which can really cause a domino effect for your hypothyroidism.
But as a quick reminder, low blood sugar both decreases the conversion of T4 to active
T3 in your liver and it signals your body to increase production of the stress hormone,
cortisol, which breaks down your muscle tissue in order to keep your blood sugar from
dropping to dangerously low levels.
What You Can Do To Balance Your Blood Sugar
One easy and healthy way to maintain your blood sugar levels is to eat plenty of fully
ripened fruit. It is naturally high in potassium, which helps to regulate your blood sugar
by reducing the amount of insulin that your body needs to properly absorb the sugar.
In fact, the sugar from fruit is a powerful blood sugar regulator. This is because it has
the unique ability to either increase or decrease your blood sugar levels depending on
what your body needs at the time. It also reduces your tendency to store fat as an
added bonus.
