Dieta y yodo

Recomendaciones:

La mejor manera de obtener los requerimientos diarios de vitaminas esenciales es consumir una dieta balanceada que contenga una variedad de alimentos de los MiPlato.

Una 1/4 cucharadita de sal de cocina yodada proporciona 95 microgramos de yodo. Una porción de 6 onzas (170 g) de pescado de mar suministra 650 microgramos de yodo. La mayoría de las personas pueden satisfacer las recomendaciones diarias consumiendo mariscos, sal yodada y plantas cultivadas en suelos ricos en yodo. Al comprar la sal, verifique que en la etiqueta diga "yodada."

El Comité de Nutrición y Alimentos del Instituto de Medicina (Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine ) recomienda los siguientes consumos en la dieta para el yodo:

Bebés:

0 - 6 meses: 110 microgramos por día (mcg/día)
7 - 12 meses: 130 mcg/día

Niños:

1 - 3 años: 90 mcg/día
4 - 8 años: 90 mcg/día
9 - 13 años: 120 mcg/día

Adolescentes y adultos:

Hombres de 14 en adelante: 150 mcg/día
Mujeres de 14 en adelante: 150 mcg/día

Las recomendaciones específicas dependen de la edad, el sexo y otros factores (como el embarazo). Las mujeres embarazadas o que estén produciendo leche materna (lactantes) necesitan cantidades mayores. Pregúntele al médico cuál es la mejor cantidad en su caso.
