Drink Fruit Juice For Better Thyroid Health (Here’s Why)

Sinopsis

Is fruit juice worse than soda or is it actually healthy for your body and thyroid? I’m going to argue that every thyroid patient should drink it and here’s why: 1. Drinking it does NOT cause weight gain. Study after study show that drinking more fruit juice is associated with a leaner BMI. 2. Drinking it will NOT cause diabetes or insulin resistance. Meta-analyses show that 100% fruit juice consumption does NOT increase diabetes risk and has a neutral impact on blood sugar. 3. Fruit juice may help reduce inflammation in your thyroid gland. The polyphenols in fruit juice can help protect your thyroid gland from oxidative damage. 4. The carbs found within can help support thyroid function. Thyroid patients need carbohydrates for optimal thyroid function so you might as well get some of these carbs from fruit juice given their may benefits. 5. Drinking it can improve your gut health. Gut function plays an important role in regulating thyroid health and drinking fruit juice can improve your gut.
