Diet and treatment 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. If you do not pay attention to diet, the impact of this disease is particularly large.

Diet and treatment of gout

Gout patients should not eat foods rich in protein that can be decomposed into uric acid, such as shellfish, cooked meat, bacon, sardine, yeast, asparagus, mushrooms, and high purine foods such as animal heart, liver and kidney. The content of purine in tender lentils, green broad beans and fresh peas in vegetables is high, so it should be restricted.

Eat alkaline foods such as vegetables, potatoes, fruits, etc., can reduce blood and urine acidity. Watermelon and wax gourd are not only alkaline food, but also diuretic, which is more beneficial to gout patients.

To ensure adequate urine output, you should drink more boiled water, tea, mineral water, soft drinks and fruit juices. Don't drink strong tea, coffee, cocoa and other drinks that can stimulate the autonomic nervous system
