Sponsor: Sherihan AboElyazed Mohamed Khalil
Summary
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune disease affecting the thyroid gland and is one of the most common causes of hypothyroidism. Eating habits may affect the risk of several inflammatory and immune diseases, such as HT. The current knowledge of the diet in HT is insufficient. The Mediterranean diet (MD) is an anti-inflammatory diet characterized by frequent consumption of olive oil, unrefined cereals, fresh or dried fruit and vegetables, moderate amounts of fish, dairy, and meat, and many condiments and spices. It is rich in nutrients and bioactives, which have the potential to offer anti-inflammatory aspects.
