Can I have tea with gout

Gout is a disease caused by purine metabolism disorder and uric acid accumulation, which belongs to arthritis. Gout is defined as a disorder of metabolism of a substance called purine in the human body. The synthesis or excretion of uric acid increases or decreases, resulting in hyperuricemia. When the concentration of blood uric acid is too high, uric acid is deposited in joints, soft tissues, cartilage and kidneys in the form of sodium salt, causing inflammatory reaction of foreign bodies in tissues, which is called gout.

Theanine is metabolized into methylurate in human body. Its molecular structure is different from that of urate, and it will not deposit to form gout stone. Therefore, it is believed that the prohibition of tea is lack of sufficient scientific basis, and this drink is weak alkaline, moderate drinking is conducive to the excretion of urate from urine, which is beneficial to the disease.

matters needing attention

1. Drink plenty of water, keep 1500-3000 ml every day, drink a small amount of water many times to help excrete uric acid. 2. Prohibition: alcohol can easily cause lactic acid accumulation in the body, inhibit the excretion of uric acid and induce gout; strictly abstain from alcohol, beer and seafood are absolutely prohibited. Beer itself contains alcohol, which will affect the excretion of uric acid; and in the process of alcohol oxidation, some substances will be produced, which will increase uric acid. Seafood contains purine and protein, a large amount of protein intake will make our body in a slightly acidic environment, which will promote the formation of uric acid crystals; in addition, a large amount of short-term intake of seafood, a large amount of purine will make uric acid rise sharply. Although our dietary factors only account for 10% - 20% of uric acid, eating a lot of seafood in a short period of time will lead to a sharp rise in uric acid, and drinking will affect the excretion, which will aggravate gout.
