🥬 Cabbage & Hypothyroidism - Eat with Awareness

At Sattvic Grains, we believe in balanced eating guided by both science and Ayurveda. #Cabbage is a nutritious vegetable - but is it safe for people with #hypothyroidism?


🧠 What You Should Know:

🔸 Cabbage is a #cruciferous vegetable—rich in fiber, vitamin C, and #antioxidants.

🔸 It contains #goitrogens, natural compounds that may interfere with #thyroid function if eaten in large amounts, especially raw.

🔸 For people with hypothyroidism, raw cabbage may slow down iodine absorption, which is important for thyroid health.


🌱 Ayurvedic Insight:

Cabbage is cooling and light, good for Pitta and Kapha. But for Vata types or those with low thyroid function, it should be cooked well with warming spices like cumin, ginger, or ajwain to support digestion and balance.


📿 Sattvic Tip:

✅ Eat cabbage cooked, not raw.

✅ Pair with ghee and warming herbs.

✅ Avoid excess if you have iodine deficiency or are on thyroid medication.
