🥦 “𝗗𝗼𝗰, 𝗯𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗶 𝘂𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗼 𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝗮𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿?”

Good news: 𝗱𝗶𝗹𝗶 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗻. 😊

Walay specific nga pagkaon nga diretso “makapahinungdan” ug goiter. However, 𝗸𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁 can contribute to thyroid enlargement.

Foods like broccoli, cauliflower, repolyo, ug kamoteng-kahoy contain natural substances called 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘴. Pero kung 𝗶-𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗴 𝗸𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀, generally safe ra, even for most people with thyroid conditions.

👉 Mas importante nga mahibaw-an 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗮 𝗴𝘆𝘂𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿, kay dili tanan goiter parehas ug treatment.

Kung naa kay bukol o pagdako sa liog, or concerns about your thyroid, maayo nga magpa-check para ma-evaluate properly. 💛

Even 𝟯𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟱 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, can make a difference.

Pwede ra brisk walking, biking, dancing, swimming, or simple home exercises.
Ang importante: 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝘂𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁. 🚶‍♀️

Exercise helps your body use sugar better, supports a healthy weight, and improves overall health.

Kung dugay na wala naka-exercise, start slow and gradually increase your activity, especially if you have diabetes or other medical conditions.

𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗶 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗱𝗼 — 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗹𝗶 𝗽𝘂𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗻. 👀

Ang 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 kay pagdako sa thyroid gland, ug lain-lain ang possible causes. Usahay normal ang thyroid hormones, pero mahimo pud kini tungod sa 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗵𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗺, 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗺, 𝘁𝗵𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀, or other thyroid conditions.

Mao nga importante nga mahibaw-an 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗮 𝗴𝘆𝘂𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗻, especially if adunay:
• Nagkadako nga bukol sa liog
• Lisod paglunok or pagginhawa
• Kusog nga heartbeat, pagpangurog, or unexplained weight loss
• Sige’g kapoy, katugnawon, or unexplained weight gain

Early evaluation can help prevent complications and guide the right treatment. 💛

Kung naa kay nakabantayan nga bukol or swelling sa liog, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁.

𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲. 💙

It was an honor to be one of the speakers during the 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗖𝗞𝗗 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗻 held in 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗖𝗲𝗯𝘂, organized by the 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 (𝗣𝗦𝗡) – 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿, in collaboration with the 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 (𝗣𝗖𝗘𝗗𝗠) – 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿.

I had the opportunity to give a lay forum on the 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀: unsa gyud ang diabetes, nganong importante ang maayong blood sugar control, ug unsaon paglikay sa mga komplikasyon, especially 𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲.

Daghang salamat sa 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗿, the organizers, fellow healthcare professionals, and most especially sa tanan nga nitambong, namati, ug nangutana. It’s always encouraging to see communities taking the time to learn more about their health.

Every person who understands diabetes is one step closer to preventing its complications. 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 💙

Padayon ta sa pag-atiman sa atong panglawas.

Not necessarily. 😊

Ang importante is 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿, kay dali kaayo ni makapataas sa blood sugar levels.

Remember pud:
🍚 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮, 𝘂𝗴 𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻. Pero tungod kay carbohydrates sila, kinahanglan gihapon nga 𝘀𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

✨ Diabetes management is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀. It’s about making smarter choices and finding the right balance.

Small changes done consistently can make a big difference sa imong blood sugar—and sa imong overall health. 💙
