Healthful Oils
The three oils recommended for people with Hashimoto’s are coconut
oil, extra-virgin olive oil, and cod liver oil.
Coconut oil is a saturated fat made up of medium-chain fatty acids,
which may be beneficial to people with underactive thyroids. Coconut
oil can increase metabolism and promote weight loss when substituted
for unsaturated fats, and it also functions as an antioxidant.
