Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormones to meet the body&#039;s needs. It causes symptoms like weight gain and memory issues. Foods like broccoli, beans and cabbage should be avoided. Soybean products must also be avoided in case of hypothyroidism. Sesame oil and olive oil can be safely consumed. In the case of hyperthyroidism, there is an increased secretion of thyroid hormones in the body. Loose motion and weight loss are common in this condition.
