Diet therapy for gout

summary

Gout is a kind of disease caused by the disorder of purine metabolism in the body. It belongs to the chronic metabolic disease of the whole body. It is caused by the increase of uric acid content in the blood caused by the abnormal purine metabolism in the body. It is often induced by excessive consumption of aquatic products and other foods with high purine content. Because of its rapid onset, severe pain, often accompanied by swelling, go faster, so it is called gout. The clinical characteristics of the disease are repeated attacks of gouty acute arthritis, gouty chronic arthritis and joint deformity, and can cause renal function damage, hypertension and coronary heart disease, and often complicated with hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other diseases. Therefore, we must attach great importance to it. Gout, like diabetes, is a lifelong disease. The key to prevention and treatment is to control diet. Now let me share with you the diet treatment of gout.

Diet therapy for gout

(1) Drink more water and less soup. Patients with high blood uric acid and gout should drink more boiled water and less broth, fish soup, chicken soup, hot pot soup, etc. The osmotic pressure of boiled water is most conducive to dissolving all kinds of harmful substances in the body. Drinking more boiled water can dilute uric acid, accelerate excretion and decrease uric acid level. Soup contains a lot of purine components, drink not only can not dilute uric acid, but lead to increased uric acid.

(2) Eat more alkaline food and less acidic food. Gout patients have purine metabolism disorder and abnormal uric acid. If they eat too much acid food, it will aggravate the disease and is not conducive to rehabilitation. And eat alkaline food, can help supplement potassium, sodium, chloride ion, maintain acid-base balance (alkaline food: 1. Vegetables, fruits; 2. Seaweed; 3. Nuts; 4. Sprouted Cereals, beans. Acidic food: 1. Starch; 2. Animal food; 3. Sweet food; 4. Refined processed food, such as white bread; 5. Fried food or cream; 6. Beans, such as peanut, etc.).

(3) Eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less. Eating more vegetables is good for reducing purine intake, increasing vitamin C and cellulose. Eating less is beneficial to control calorie intake, limit weight, lose weight and reduce harmful blood lipids.

matters needing attention

Dietary carbohydrate intake should be controlled reasonably, protein intake should be mainly plant protein, and low protein diet should be used in patients with renal disease. Animal protein can choose milk, cheese, skimmed milk powder and egg protein without nuclear protein. The principle of diet control is "three low and one high", that is, low purine or no purine diet, low calorie intake, low salt diet and plenty of drinking water
