Benefits

Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes are fairly low in calories and a very good option if you are trying to control your weight.

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A. Sweet potatoes, although a carbohydrate source, absorb more slowly and do not raise blood sugar as much as other starchy foods like the grains or sweets categories.

Wheat flour

Wheat flour is enriched with good source of nutrients like iron, thiamine, niacin, calcium, and vitamin B6. Whole wheat is a decent source of several vitamins and minerals, including selenium, manganese, phosphorus, copper, and folate.

Whole wheat flour naturally has good level of fiber. Fiber is an important part of your diet, as it prevents constipation, helps control blood sugar, wards off heart disease, and even assists in weight management.

Constipation is a common symptom of hypothyroidism. Whole-grain foods high in nutrients in addition to fiber, which can help with bowel regularity.

Gluten — the protein found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley. This doesn’t directly affect thyroid function. But some people with autoimmune hypothyroidism also have celiac disease, a condition in which their immune system mistakenly attacks their small intestine after they eat gluten.
