Dr. Yulia Smirnova, a preventive medicine specialist and nutritionist, stated that Brazil nuts are the most beneficial type of nuts for thyroid health.

According to her, those wishing to support their thyroid health should incorporate them into their diet.
"Consuming two to four pieces a day is enough to meet the body's selenium requirements, as iodine cannot be absorbed without selenium," she says. "Eggs and dairy products also contain iodine and selenium."
Smirnova emphasizes that healthy thyroid function requires omega-3 fatty acids—found in fatty fish, flaxseed oil, and walnuts—as well as vitamin D3, which is abundant in egg yolks, cod liver, and fatty fish, and magnesium, which is highly available in pumpkin seeds, spinach, buckwheat, and cocoa. Additionally, calcium, found in sesame seeds, hard cheese, cottage cheese, and almonds, is necessary. Zinc, vitamins A and E, and the B-vitamin complex are also essential for thyroid health.
However, she notes that in cases of iodine deficiency or Hashimoto's disease (a chronic inflammatory disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks thyroid cells), dietary products cannot replace medication. Furthermore, an excess of iodine may lead to autoimmune thyroid diseases.
