| 2. Thyroid Healing Step #2: Nourish with Healthy Proteins & Fats The suggested recipes for this challenge are high in healthy fats and protein, much more than in the Standard American Diet (yes, it’s SAD!) For those of us who have been bombarded with messages about the “dangers” of fat, it can be hard to embrace eating like this. You may be surprised to learn that the so-called “conventional wisdom, or “what everyone knows” about nutrition is not based on science. Yup, the advice that your doctor gives about how to “eat healthy” has more to do with the politics of the food industry than actual knowledge about what the human body needs to thrive. So what IS the truth about protein & fat?? Protein is essential for healing injuries, including our damaged gut lining. Adding more protein to your meals helps control hunger hormones. Protein is critical to synthesizing hormones as well as neurotransmitters, meaning that adequate protein essential for the functioning of your brain, as well as many other systems. Eating protein helps you build and maintain muscle, which lows your risk of many diseases and helps to boost your metabolism. (Animal products are the best sources of complete, easy-to-digest protein. Plant proteins don’t come close in terms of bioavailability and come from sources that are triggering to your immune system: eggs, soy, dairy, grains, and beans). Fat is not only safe but CRITICAL for health This is especially true for those of us with thyroid problems and adding more dietary fat to your meals can help you lose body fat. (Paradoxical, I know, but true). Fat is a very efficient fuel source for your muscles, and especially your brain. Healthy fats like avocado, olive, coconut and animal fats make you feel full longer and give you a steady source of energy, avoiding the highs and lows that come with carbs. Relying on fat as a primary energy source has a powerful antioxidant effect, which lowers systemic inflammation |
