Wait, aren’t fruits harmful because they contain sugar?! Not by a long shot. Fruits are not only healthy for your entire body, they can also help support your thyroid gland.

If you are someone with thyroid disease, or if you are just looking to support your thyroid to keep it healthy, this information is for you.

Fruits work to help your overall health by providing a natural source of fiber, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals, and polyphenols.

These ingredients help your body fight of inflammation, protect your cells, help with weight loss, and so much more.

When it comes to your thyroid, a few fruits stand above others.

These include:

1. Blueberries. Packed full of nutrients, blueberries clock in at 85 calories per serving. These are low carb and have some of the best health benefits of any fruit.

2. Goji berries. Goji berries act as both a fruit and an adaptogen which means they can help with adrenal fatigue, vitality, and cortisol imbalance.

3. Avocados. This fruit is high in healthy fats which makes it unusual among those listed here. Healthy fats and fiber is the name of the game here.

4. Kiwis. These fruits contain huge amounts of vitamins and minerals in each serving beating out some of the more common fruits you know of.

5. Coconut. This high fat fruit is a great source of medium chain triglycerides which makes it ideal if weight gain is a problem for you.
