It helps increase your metabolic rate which will help with any fat loss and increase the heat in your body ( many people with thyroid disease have cold hands and feet because of their internal body temperature.)<\/p>\n “The good thing about coconut oil is that it’s digested differently. You don’t need bile salts for it to digest. Coconut goes from your gut to your liver faster. This makes it super easy on your gut and on your liver. As we know the liver is needed for proper thyroid hormone conversion. It needs to be in tip top shape,” says Dr Sutar.<\/p>\n Coconut Water<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Sutar said,” If it\u2019s available. you can drink coconut water 3-4 times a week (only if you don\u2019t have any cold and cough issues).”<\/p>\n Coconut Chutney<\/strong><\/p>\n “It’s delicious & healthy.
