Gout patients should eat more low-purine food, less medium-purine food, not high-purine food and be careful not to drink alcohol. Low purine foods: whole grains, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables; Purine foods: meat, beans, seafood; High purine food: bean sprouts, soybean sprouts, asparagus, mushrooms, laver, animal viscera, fish. Gout is often complicated with obesity, diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Patients should follow the following dietary principles:

1. Maintain your ideal weight, and lose weight if you are overweight or obese. But lose weight step by step, otherwise it will easily lead to acute ketosis or gout.

2. Carbohydrates can promote uric acid excretion, and patients can eat rice, steamed bread and pasta rich in carbohydrates.

3. protein can be taken in proportion to the body weight. 1kg, the intake of protein should be 0.8g ~ 1g, mainly milk and eggs. If it is lean meat, chicken and duck meat, etc. , should be boiled, soup to eat, avoid stew or braised pork.

4. Eat less fat because fat can reduce uric acid excretion. In patients with gout complicated with hyperlipidemia, the fat intake should be controlled within 20% ~ 25% of the total calories.

5. Drink plenty of water, 2000ml to 3000ml a day to promote uric acid elimination.

6. Eat less salt and limit it to 2 grams to 5 grams a day.

7. No alcohol! Alcohol can easily accumulate lactic acid in the body, inhibit uric acid excretion and easily induce gout.

8. Use less irritating condiments or spices.
