4. Refined Sugar
Refined sugar should be avoided by everyone. Among the rest, its consumption causes inflammation, increases insulin resistance, and can worsen symptoms of hypothyroidism such as weight gain, mood swings, and brain fog.

Hypothyroidism increases a person’s risk for high blood pressure and sodium consumption only further increases the risk.
6. Coffee (especially having it right after taking medications)
