Diet of gout patients
Diet of gout patients
As we all know, after ingesting foods rich in purine, most of them are converted into uric acid in the small intestine, and only a small part is used to synthesize ribonucleic acid, the cell component of human body. Therefore, the intake of high purine food will inevitably increase the level of uric acid in the blood and increase the metabolic burden. Therefore, whether it is acute gout or chronic gout, we should control the intake of food rich in purine and avoid inducing factors.
First, avoid losing weight too fast. Losing weight too fast will lead to the disintegration of a large number of cells to produce uric acid, which will induce acute gout attack. The safe weight loss rate is 0.5- 1 kg per week.
Second, avoid eating a lot of fat, because fat can reduce uric acid excretion. If gout is complicated, the fat intake should be controlled within 20%- of the total calories. The daily total fat intake should be about 50 grams. Pay attention to vegetable oil and eat less animal fat. In cook the meat, the soup should be boiled before eating, and the purine in the meat can be partially dissolved, thus reducing the amount of purine in the meat. Because purine is soluble in water, all kinds of broth and fish soup should be avoided. Purine can increase the freshness of food. If the food tastes fresh, you should pay attention to eating less or not. More cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, stewing and less oil stewing are used.
Third, avoid excessive drinking alcohol is easy to accumulate lactic acid in the body, which has an inhibitory effect on uric acid excretion. Long-term and small amount of drinking can also increase purine synthesis. If you eat meat and poultry food while drinking, it will double the intake of purine and easily induce gout. Pay attention to beer, don't drink it.
Fourth, avoid eating hot pot because the raw materials of hot pot are mainly high-end foods such as animal offal, shrimp, shellfish and seafood.
Five, avoid eating pepper, curry, pepper, pepper, mustard, ginger and other irritating spices and condiments. It can excite autonomic nerves and induce gout attacks, and should be eaten as little as possible. Don't eat too much chicken essence. Chicken essence has complex components. In addition to sodium glutamate, it also contains nucleotides (purines in molecules), so the purine content is high.
Sixth, avoid salt. The daily amount of salt should be controlled at 2-5g.
Seven, avoid acidic food yogurt contains more lactic acid, and all fungi are high nucleic acid substances. Lactic acid can interfere with uric acid excretion, form too much sputum in the body, and aggravate the mood, which is very unfavorable to gout patients.
At present, the preparation method of pure water supplied in the market generally adopts reverse osmosis, and the pH value is generally around 6.0, which tends to be weakly acidic, so gout patients are not suitable for drinking pure water, and it is best to drink weakly alkaline water.
Soft drinks and fruit juices contain a lot of fructose, which will also increase uric acid level after drinking.
If gout is acute, the purine content in food should be strictly limited below 150 mg every day, and foods with low purine content should be selected. After the remission period, you will choose foods with moderate purine content, and foods with low purine content are free to choose. If the content of purine is high, 80% of purine can be removed after boiling water, and patients in remission can choose it appropriately.
Diet suitable for gout patients
Eat more foods with high potassium content, such as bananas, broccoli and celery. Potassium can reduce uric acid precipitation and help excrete uric acid. Eat more alkaline foods, such as kelp, Chinese cabbage, celery, cucumber, apple, tomato and so on.
First, prevent gout diet
1. Avoid eating foods with high purine content: animal viscera (liver, intestine, kidney and brain), seafood (abalone, crab, lobster, salmon, sardines, tuna, perch, trout and cod), shellfish, meat (cattle, sheep, ducks, geese and pigeons), soy foods and lentils.
2. Avoid eating foods with high cholesterol: animal viscera (liver, intestine, kidney and brain), fat meat, squid, fish and cuttlefish.
3, abstinence: do not drink, especially beer, Shaoxing wine.
Once the alcohol concentration in blood is as high as 200mg/dl, lactic acid in blood will increase with the oxidation process of alcohol, which will hinder the excretion of uric acid in kidney and increase uric acid in blood as a result.
4. Avoid eating acidic foods, such as coffee, fried foods and high-fat foods. Acid-base imbalance will affect the body function and increase the burden of liver and kidney.
Second, proper food.
1, eat more high-potassium foods such as bananas, broccoli and celery. Potassium can reduce uric acid precipitation and help excrete uric acid. Eat more alkaline foods, such as kelp, Chinese cabbage, celery, cucumber, apple, tomato and so on.
2, eat more foods that tonify the kidney Chinese medicine believes that foods that tonify the kidney contribute to the excretion of uric acid. On weekdays, you can drink according to the formula of "Liuwei Dihuang" (Rehmannia glutinosa, Cornus officinalis, Dioscorea opposita, Alisma orientalis, Paeonia suffruticosa and Poria cocos), and you can get the effect.
3, it is also suitable for eating more foods that promote qi and blood circulation and relax muscles and tendons. For example, you can use mistletoe (five yuan per person) to boil sugar water, but instead of eggs, you can add lotus seeds.
4. Apple vinegar and honey.
This is a traditional western medicine treatment method, which has been proved effective by many clinical trials. Apple vinegar contains pectin, vitamins, minerals (phosphorus and potassium) and enzymes. The acidic components of apple vinegar have bactericidal effect, which helps to eliminate toxins in joints, blood vessels and organs. Regular drinking can regulate blood pressure, dredge blood vessels, lower cholesterol and help treat arthritis and gout. After dinner, add a teaspoon of apple vinegar and a teaspoon of honey to half a cup of warm water, and mix well before drinking.
5. Prescription for gout patients
Coix seed porridge: take appropriate amount of Coix seed and white rice, and the ratio of the two is about three to one. Soak job's tears in water for four or five hours and white rice for thirty minutes, then mix them and add water to make porridge.
Winter melon soup: take 300 grams of winter melon (peeled), five or six red dates, and a little ginger. Stir-fry shredded ginger in oil until fragrant, then put it in a pot with sliced wax gourd and red dates, and add water and appropriate seasoning to make soup.
6, drink plenty of water, drink plenty of water every day, go to the toilet more, and never endure urine.

Eating cherries regularly can supplement the human body's demand for iron, promote regeneration, not only prevent iron deficiency anemia, but also strengthen the brain and improve intelligence. It is reported that cherry anthocyanin can also improve the filtration of uric acid by glomerulus and reduce the reabsorption of uric acid by renal tubules, which is especially suitable for gout patients. Cherry contains more protein, sugar, phosphorus, carotene and vitamin C than apples and pears. Regular use of cherry juice to wipe the face and parts can also make the facial skin ruddy and fair, eliminate wrinkles and spots.
(2) Apple: sweet in taste, cool in nature, and has the effects of moistening the lungs to relieve summer heat, appetizing and sobering up. What fruit does gout eat? Modern medical research shows that apples can prevent the increase of cholesterol in blood, and are suitable for patients with hypertension, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Apple can also neutralize excess gastric acid, promote bile secretion and increase bile acid function, which has a good therapeutic effect on diseases such as indigestion.
In addition, the aroma of apples is a "good medicine" for treating depression and depression. Insomnia patients can smell the aroma of apples before going to bed and fall asleep quietly soon.
(3) Watermelon: sweet, cold and non-toxic. Has effects in relieving vexation, quenching thirst, relieving summer heat, promoting diuresis, and treating aphtha.
