Diet principle of gout

summary

Gout is a kind of recurrent inflammatory disease caused by increased purine biosynthesis, excessive production of uric acid or poor excretion of uric acid resulting in increased uric acid in the blood and deposition of urate crystals in synovium, bursa, cartilage and other tissues. It is a group of heterologous diseases caused by monosodium urate crystals (MSU) or uric acid supersaturation in extracellular fluid, which makes crystals deposit in tissues. Next, we discuss the dietary principles of gout

Diet principle of gout

One is to control the intake of fat and protein. Normal people's diet can generally take 600-1000 mg of fat per day, while gout patients should take less than 150 mg of fat per day. At the same time, the intake of protein should be controlled, and the daily intake of protein should be limited to 0.8-1 gram per kilogram of body weight. Because protein has a special dynamic role, it can increase the production of endogenous uric acid. Food containing more gargin, such as animal viscera, brain and wild birds, should be forbidden; lean meat, fish, fungi, beans and peanuts of poultry and wild birds should be used less.

Second, control the total heat energy. Obesity is a predisposing factor for gout. Therefore, all obese patients with gout should take a low caloric diet to reduce their weight gradually. But do not act in haste, to avoid hunger ketosis, induce gout acute attack. Gout patients should eat less carbohydrates, especially refined sugar, because carbohydrates can enhance the body's sensitivity to Linyin.

Third, limit the intake of salt and stimulating food. Salt can retain water in the body and prevent the excretion of uric acid. Therefore, the daily intake of salt should not exceed 5g. Wine, strong tea, coffee, vinegar, garlic and pepper can increase the sensitivity of the body, so it should be used less or banned.

matters needing attention

Increase the intake of alkaline food. Uric acid is easy to deposit in acidic environment, but it is easy to dissolve in alkaline environment, so as to increase its excretion. Therefore, in the diet should eat more fruits, vegetables and other alkaline food, reduce the intake of fish, livestock meat and other acidic food, make the urine keep alkaline, so as to increase the excretion of uric acid
