Every family will prepare a big table of delicious food during the Spring Festival, but gout patients dare not indulge easily.

The dietary principle of gout patients should follow the low purine diet and avoid eating high purine foods such as seafood, animal offal and thick broth. Purine-rich vegetables (lettuce, spinach, mushrooms, cauliflower, etc. ) should also be reduced; Avoid the combination of "beer or liquor plus seafood". Although beer and liquor do not produce uric acid, they can inhibit uric acid excretion. Prohibit foods that can excite the nervous system, such as strong tea, coffee, spicy food and wine; Soda water, carbonated drinks and juice drinks sweetened with high fructose syrup should also be avoided. Drink plenty of water, at least1500ml per day; Eating more alkaline vegetables and fruits is beneficial to the dissolution and excretion of uric acid; Eating more foods rich in vitamin B and vitamin C can also promote the dissolution and excretion of uric acid.

However, gout patients can still "solve their own problems" during the holidays. Ni Wei, deputy director of Rheumatology Department of Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, recommended several low-purine meat dishes for gout patients.

sea cucumber

Sea cucumber is a low purine food. Every 100g sea cucumber contains only 4.2mg of purine, even lower than some vegetables and fruits. Therefore, eating sea cucumber in gout patients will not aggravate the condition and lead to an increase in blood uric acid.

jellyfish

Jellyfish also belongs to low purine food, and the purine content in jellyfish is about 9.3 mg per100g, which is lower than that in rice. Jellyfish is a nutritious food with high protein, low fat and low calorie, but it is rich in protein and inorganic salts.

Coagulated pig blood (used as food)

Pig blood also belongs to hypopurine food, and gout patients generally do not cause the increase of serum uric acid after eating it, nor do they cause gout attacks. Pig blood is rich in high-quality protein, and its amino acid ratio is close to that of human body, so it is easy to be digested and absorbed by human body. In addition, pig blood is rich in iron, which exists in the form of heme iron and is easily absorbed and utilized by human body. Inorganic salts such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium and trace elements such as iron, zinc and copper in pig blood can improve human immunity and resist aging.
