Gout is a disease closely related to diet, which used to be considered as "wine and meat disease" and "rich disease". Modern medicine has proved that it is a disease caused by purine metabolism disorder and high blood uric acid, and its prevalence rate is related to high protein in diet, which is called purine restricted diet in nutrition.
Generally speaking, for gout patients, the key to regulating diet is to control the intake of purine. Fish contain purine, especially marine fish, such as hairtail, pomfret, shark and anchovy. Freshwater fish contain less purine than marine fish. However, gout patients should eat fish in moderation, pay attention to controlling the amount of fish they eat and eat as little as possible. Although the purine contained in freshwater fish is low, if it is eaten too much, it will easily lead to high blood uric acid in the body and induce acute gout attacks.
