Winter's Impact on Thyroid: Foods & Tips for Hormone Balance

• Winter conditions, reduced sunlight, and lifestyle changes like inactivity or stress can worsen thyroid symptoms such as fatigue and sluggishness.
• Iodine-rich foods like iodized salt, curd, and eggs are vital for thyroid hormones but should be consumed in moderation.
• Fermented foods (e.g., curd, buttermilk) support gut health, aiding hormone conversion and nutrient absorption.
• Winter greens (e.g., palak, methi) provide antioxidants, iron, and vitamins to combat inflammation and support hormonal balance.
• Healthy fats (e.g., ghee, nuts, seeds, fatty fish) are crucial for hormone stability and sustained energy levels.
