Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

Make healthy eating and physical activity part of daily routine.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Monitor your blood sugar level, and follow doctor's instructions for keeping blood sugar level within target range.
Do not smoke.
Eating healthy foods and exercising regularly can go a long way toward controlling high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss your teeth once a day, and schedule dental exams at least twice a year.
Prioritize your tasks. Learn relaxation techniques. Get plenty of sleep.

1. Avoid exposure to radioactive fallout since it may contain radioactive iodine.

2. Avoid consumption of isoflavone-intensive soy products, such as soy protein, soy powders.

3.Increase the intake of iodine in the diet. The mineral Iodine is very important in the nutritional support of thyroid function.

4. Avoid consumption of uncooked brussels sprouts, broccoli, rutabaga, turnips, kohlrabi, radishes, cauliflower, African cassava, millet, babassu fruit, cabbage and kale.

Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
