6Pumpkin and Sunflower Seeds
Apart from iodine, zinc is another essential mineral that plays an important role in the health of your thyroid. Indeed, a deficiency of this substance would result in hypothyroidism. A good way to take in zinc is to eat pumpkin and sunflower seeds. In most cases, people often choose to eat alone. However, you could add a flavor or taste by puree raw seeds with cilantro, avocado chunks, and lime to create a creamy look on guacamole. Also, consider blending instant oats, shredded carrots, black beans, and pumpkin seeds in a food process. [6]
