Learn to distinguish between high, low and medium purine content ingredients! Now there are many tables to tell you the purine content of different kinds of food. There is a general knowledge that foods with low purine content are green, foods with medium purine content are black, and foods with high purine content in red are a bit like traffic lights in our traffic. Patients with hyperuricemia and gout are not recommended to eat red food, but often recommend moderate intake of black food. Acute gout is not recommended to eat food with moderate purine content. Green food usually represents food that can be safely ingested at any time.
Understand this truth, let's take a look at the table above, and we will find that there is a kind of fish in green that is very good with low purine content. It is a famous mandarin fish, one of the four freshwater fish species in China. 100g Siniperca chuatsi contains only 24 mg of purine, which is very good food.
At present, the logistics in our country is quite fast. Even if it is not in the country of origin, in our northeast side, mandarin fish is no longer a kind of fish that has never been seen before, but a very common fish that can be purchased at a relatively low price. Therefore, for patients with hyperuricemia and gout, Siniperca chuatsi is one of the very good choices among fish.
● Next, let's analyze the composition of black. Here we find that the purine content of carp is relatively high, and the purine content of common fish such as grass carp and shrimp is also slightly higher. We generally define the purine content per100g, that is, every two components, within the range of 50~ 150 mg as medium purine content. Therefore, although the range of carp, grass carp, shrimp and other ingredients has not reached 150, it is about to reach the upper limit. In this case, we suggest treating it with caution. In the above table, the purine content of perch and tuna we see is about 60~70 mg, which is more suitable for patients with hyperuricemia or gout remission. Pay attention to the choice of ingredients, not just the purine content. If the content of purine obviously exceeds the standard, purine should be given priority. However, if the ingredients such as bass and tuna, especially tuna, are rich in vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, although in the eyes of some friends, the purine content is slightly higher, which is good for maintaining calcium metabolism and cardiovascular health in our body, then it is no problem to eat tuna 1~2 times a week.
● Therefore, if the ingredients in the red range, whether fish or other ingredients, are not recommended for patients with hyperuricemia and gout. The nutrients in these ingredients can be replaced by other ingredients with low or medium purine content, and it is not necessary to risk gout to eat such ingredients to obtain nutrition. For example, sardines or dried fish in the red range are all ingredients with very high purine content, which is definitely not recommended for patients with hyperuricemia and gout.
After learning to analyze tables, we will know which ingredients are more suitable for us, and we should also pay attention to cooking methods. Taking fish as an example, steaming mandarin fish suitable for people with gout or hyperuricemia is often a better way, and it is suggested not to put too much sauce, such as a lot of oyster sauce, when steaming, which will often increase the content of purine. For example, patients with hyperuricemia and gout are not advised to fry fish. Because a large amount of oil may lead to a surge in uric acid after frying.
This cooking method is also suitable for other ingredients, such as some meat, such as chicken, suitable for people with hyperuricemia. Purine content is not particularly high, but if it is made into fried chicken, the purine content will reach 500 mg per 100 g. This purine content completely meets the standard of red component.
Are some vegetables and beans suitable for patients with hyperuricemia or gout? In the past, spinach, beans and bean products such as tofu were not suitable for patients with hyperuricemia and gout, but in recent years, a large number of studies have proved that purine contained in plant components will not induce hyperuricemia and gout. The countries involved in these studies are Japan, Singapore and China, all of which are large-scale studies in Asian countries that consume more plant ingredients. This shows that many scholars are very concerned about this issue, and the current conclusion is that it is recommended to eat plant-based ingredients. Moreover, plant ingredients contain a lot of dietary fiber, which is also slightly helpful. Patients with hyperuricemia can exclude uric acid. For example, for ingredients like spinach, oxalic acid is the real danger, so controlling oxalic acid is very simple. Just rinse it a little while cooking. The following is a table of purine content of some vegetables. If you study them carefully, you will find that most of the purines contained in vegetables and bean products are low or medium purines.
So if you are hyperuricemic, it is no problem to eat vegetables or soy products properly. If you are suffering from gout or gout, then you can eat some bean products. If you are particularly sensitive, you can't eat at all.
Some suggestions for patients with hyperuricemia ● You must learn to distinguish the purine content of ingredients. If you have time, you can study the ingredient list of purine content, which can be found online now. In the face of some unfamiliar ingredients, be aware of them.
● Be sure to pay attention to scientific diet and reasonable diet. Don't eat anything because of high uric acid. It is more important to mix ingredients scientifically and reasonably. For example, if you eat some ingredients containing purine on Monday, you can give priority to vegetables on Tuesday.
● Be sure to drink more water. We usually suggest that the daily drinking water should be controlled above 2000 ml, and it is a better choice to reach 2000-3000ml. Because uric acid is mainly excreted through the kidneys, drinking more water can promote the formation of urine and help us excrete excess uric acid.
● Be sure to keep exercising. We suggest that patients with hyperuricemia and gout are suitable for jogging, brisk walking or swimming.
