Can I eat kiwi fruit if I have nodular goiter?

Patients with thyroid nodules can eat kiwifruit, which has a good taste and is rich in nutrients, providing certain health benefits.
Generally, patients with thyroid nodules can consume various fruits in moderation. Kiwifruit is commonly consumed in daily life and is rich in water content, with a sweet and sour flavor that can improve appetite and aid digestion. Eating kiwifruit in moderation also helps supplement various nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, benefiting overall health without causing adverse effects on thyroid nodules. However, it is important to avoid excessive consumption of kiwifruit to prevent gastrointestinal irritation that may lead to discomforts such as acid reflux and belching. Patients with thyroid nodules should maintain a balanced diet with light and nutritious meals. Additionally, they should balance work and rest, engage in moderate exercise, maintain regular作息 (作息 should be translated as "作息" doesn't have a direct translation but refers to daily routine or rest patterns), avoid staying up late, and take proper warming measures to prevent colds caused by exposure to cold.
However, if patients also have hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, they should follow the advice of their doctor or nutritionist to adjust iodine intake in their diet.
