summary

You must have heard about the dietary taboos of gout: "eating beer and seafood together causes gout", "gout can't eat bean products", "eating hot pot soup causes gout" and so on. Today we will analyze the legendary dietary taboos related to gout

Gout symptoms and dietary contraindications

Taboo 1: does beer and seafood cause gout? Alcohol and seafood are high risk factors of gout respectively, which add up to the problem. Eating separately is also bad for gout. Because gout is the result of the disorder of purine metabolism in the body, the increase of blood uric acid level caused by excessive uric acid production or reduced excretion, and the deposition of uric acid crystal salt in the body. Alcohol can promote the production of endogenous uric acid, and seafood belongs to high purine diet. Therefore, for patients with gout, it is better to treat these two kinds of food cautiously. For non gout patients, eating these foods will increase the risk of illness, but it will not lead to gout once.

Taboo 2: can't gout patients eat bean products? Although dried beans contain more purine, purine is a real "drowning dog" because it is very soluble in water. Therefore, when dried beans are made into bean curd, dried beans and other bean products, after removing the "yellow serous water", purine is greatly reduced. Therefore, the purine content in bean products is equivalent to that of some vegetables and fruits, and lower than that of meat. Epidemiological investigation found that plant protein and some vegetables and fruits with high purine content did not increase the level of uric acid in blood. So ordinary people and gout patients can eat bean products.

Taboo 3: eat hot pot to get gout easily? It has been said before that purine belongs to the real "drowning dog". In our daily process of eating hot pot, most people need seafood, beef and mutton, animal viscera, brain flower and other "first line" high purine foods, which are all high purine foods. So the purine content of hot pot soup will be very high. It's not a big problem for ordinary people to drink occasionally. Gout patients may have symptoms after drinking it. In addition, not only hot pot soup do not drink, broth, chicken soup, fish soup, soup and old soup purine content is not low, for gout patients are adverse. Gout patients should adhere to the habit of "eating meat and discarding soup". In China, the areas with the habit of making soup are also the areas with high incidence of gout.

matters needing attention

The diet of gout patients should pay attention to the following: 1. Control of total calories: gout patients should maintain or reach the ideal weight, and it is better to make their weight 10% - 15% lower than the ideal weight. To achieve the latter, the focus is to control the total amount of calories eaten every day. The total amount of food should be about 10% lower than the normal diet. Do not eat too many snacks, or eat too much or too full every meal. 2、 Low protein diet: gout patients should be given 0.4-0.5 G protein per male body weight, the daily total protein should be controlled at about 40 g, and the intake of fish and beans should be appropriately limited. One cup of milk plus 2 eggs or 2 liang of lean pigs can meet the body's need for protein, not too much. 3、 Limit fat intake: the total daily fat intake of gout patients is about 50g. It should be mainly vegetable oil and less animal fat. 4、 To contain high carbohydrate foods: rice, noodles, cereals are the main components of carbohydrates, so gout patients daily diet should be based on these foods, to ensure the heat supply. 5、 Prohibition, less coffee, tea, cocoa: alcohol can induce gout attacks and aggravate the disease, should absolutely prohibit gout patients from drinking; gout patients should not drink too much coffee, tea, cocoa. 6、 Keep sufficient vitamin B and C: vitamin B and C are rich in fruits and vegetables. Eating oranges and apples after meals and eating more green leafy vegetables can make your body have enough vitamin B and C. 7、 Fasting foods with high purine content: foods with high purine content include animal viscera, fish and shrimp, clams, beef and mutton, and peas. Gout patients should try to eat less or not. Gout patients should eat more foods with less purine content, such as milk, eggs, bread, cucumbers, tomatoes and so on, in order to reduce the exogenous purine into the body and reduce the blood uric acid level.
