High uric acid is related to many factors, such as heredity, imbalance of uric acid metabolism, excessive endogenous purine synthesis, uncontrolled diet, obesity and so on. It is the purine in our body that has a direct influence on uric acid, because the final metabolite of purine is uric acid. The higher the amount of purine, the higher the final uric acid, so controlling purine is the direct factor to control uric acid. The source of purine is partly the endogenous part of our own synthesis and secretion, and the other part is the exogenous part we get from our daily diet. Endogenous uric acid accounts for 80% of the total, while exogenous uric acid only accounts for 20%. However, it is difficult for us to control the production of endogenous uric acid, which is related to our constitution, endocrine state and organ health. We need to gradually improve our diet, living habits and exercise habits. As long as the part we can actively control every day is exogenous uric acid,
So is lotus root high purine or low purine?
The purine of lotus root is about 20mg/ 100g, which belongs to low purine food (generally speaking, we can regard it as high purine food when it is higher than 70mg/ 100g), so patients with high uric acid can eat lotus root normally, and we don't consume much purine from it. But be careful not to eat too much. After all, lotus root is a high starch food. Eating too much will increase carbohydrate intake, which may lead to excessive sugar intake and unbalanced nutrition.
Many patients with high uric acid will worry about whether they can eat vegetables safely, because some vegetables may have high uric acid content, such as green peppers, phoenix tails and other vegetables. In fact, the purine of plant food is very different from that of animal food, and their influence on human body is much lower. Moreover, plant food can provide more active substances such as dietary fiber, natural pigments, antioxidants and saponins, which helps to calm down the fluctuation of uric acid. Studies have found that if patients with high uric acid eat vegetables with high purine content every day, compared with patients with high uric acid with insufficient vegetable intake, the probability of inducing gout has dropped by 27%, which shows that vegetables are much more helpful to us than plant purine, so in fact, gout patients can eat vegetables without worrying too much about purine, because no matter how high the purine in vegetables is, it is not much higher.
Patients with hyperuricemia should pay more attention to purines in animal foods, such as animal viscera, fat meat, pork belly, fish, shrimp and shellfish, rather than worrying about purines in vegetables. Animal purine has a great influence on total uric acid. When gout is acute, it is best not to choose poultry meat, fish, shrimp and shellfish meat, and the red lean meat should be controlled within 50g. In the stable stage of uric acid, it is best not to eat poultry and shellfish, and choose fish with low purine, such as mandarin fish, salmon, silver carp, tuna and cod, and avoid fish with high purine, such as hairtail and saury. It is best not to eat bean products, which can be eaten properly, such as bean curd skin, dried bean curd, soybean milk and so on.
I believe many people are familiar with that people with hyperuricemia can't eat high purine food. Foods containing purine can lead to the formation of uric acid after metabolism. If uric acid metabolism is normal, it will not cause any harm to human body. However, if uric acid metabolism is abnormal, it can not be excreted normally or too much uric acid is formed, which will lead to hyperuricemia. If uric acid fluctuates violently, it may cause gout.
However, we should distinguish whether this purine is plant purine or animal purine. At present, it is believed that plant purine metabolism will not induce severe uric acid fluctuation and rarely lead to gout, so plant food is relatively safe for people with hyperuricemia and gout. This research has been reported in Singapore, Japan and China, because our Asian countries consume relatively more plant-based food. These reports also studied whether beans that many patients with hyperuricemia hate can induce uric acid fluctuations or gout attacks. The current research results show that beans will not cause severe uric acid fluctuation, and the research in Shanghai also shows that there is a component in beans that is beneficial to control uric acid.
Next, let's talk about the influence of lotus root on uric acid. Lotus root is a plant food, which is relatively safe for people with hyperuricemia or gout.
Next, let's look at the purine content of lotus root. The purine content of Erliang lotus root is only about 0 ~ 25mg, which is a food with low purine content. It can be safely used for patients with gout or hyperuricemia.
For lotus root, cooking methods are often very important. In the northeast, lotus root is a kind of food that people seldom eat. Now it is mainly used when eating hot pot or bone soup. From China on the tip of the tongue, the southern cooking method is mostly soup. If the lotus root is cooked in thick soup, this cooking method is not recommended. Why? Because the purine content in the broth is particularly high. Some people will say that I had a gout attack after drinking lotus root soup, and then complain that it was the lotus root. In fact, soup is the culprit.
Recommended cooking, cold salad and other practices. A light diet is also good for the body, and it will not consume too much oil, and there will be no intervention of thick soup, which will lead to gout attacks in sensitive people.
20 19 purine content table of common ingredients is recommended to everyone. If you are interested, you can study which ingredients in daily life are more suitable for people with hyperuricemia or gout. Staple food: Almost all staple foods have low purine content. However, people with hyperuricemia or gout should pay attention to the fact that flour and rice's excessive metabolism may lead to the increase of uric acid, so in the diet structure, the staple food should be doped with some coarse grains.
Vegetables: The purine content of most vegetables is very low, and they are all ingredients with low purine content, among which laver and shiitake mushrooms are more noticeable. If it is dried mushrooms, please be sure to soak it in water for a long time before use. Do not eat too much. Spinach, which many people hate, contains only 13.3 mg of purine per 100 g, which is a food with low purine content. It is often oxalic acid contained in spinach that is prone to problems, and this problem is easy to handle. Just blanch the spinach when you make it.
Bean products: Most bean ingredients have low purine content. If you have doubts about soy products, you can eat less in moderation, and you can not eat it in the acute stage of gout attack. After all, bean products are excellent, and it is not a big problem for protein suppliers with low prices to control their intake at around 200%.
Aquatic products: pay attention to shellfish, saury and sardines, because the purine content is very high, which belongs to meat and is not recommended. However, the purine content of tuna, salmon and perch is not particularly high, so it can be properly ingested at ordinary times and controlled at around 20%. Gout patients should not take it in acute stage. Everyone should know that strict diet control, although uric acid is sometimes well controlled, can lead to malnutrition. Appropriate intake of some relatively safe fish is more reliable, because many fish contain a lot of vitamin D, which is good for the body.
Meat: Most red meat is high in purine, and the purine content in the viscera of these animals is also quite high. It is suggested that friends with high uric acid can take it in moderation, and it is also recommended to control it at around 22. Gout patients had better control their intake.
To sum up, I am Xie Xinhui who insists on explaining the knowledge of complex diseases in easy-to-understand language. Codewords are not easy. If you agree with me, please help me pay attention or praise it. If you or your family and friends also have some questions about whether purine is elevated due to certain components, please forward this article to friends in need. Thank you.
Core tip:
High uric acid is a manifestation of gout. When treating gout, we must choose the appropriate diet therapy, which will be of great help to the improvement of the disease, and blind treatment is almost impossible. Many people like to eat lotus root, but can gout eat lotus root?
Gout is a recurrent inflammatory disease caused by increased purine biosynthesis and metabolism, excessive uric acid production or poor uric acid excretion, and urate crystals deposited in synovium, bursa, cartilage and other tissues of joints. Gout is characterized by the presence of birefringent sodium urate monohydrate crystals in joint fluid and tophi.
Because gout is a chronic disease, a few of them only occur once or several times, and most of them occur frequently, especially some patients with intractable recurrent attacks, complicated with gout stones, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia, and need to take medicine for a long time, otherwise they will easily develop into joint deformity and renal insufficiency. Patients with chronic gout often have acute attacks under the inducement of overeating, excessive drinking, mental stress, overwork and joint injury.
Purine is the source of uric acid. If you eat food with high purine content, it is easy to induce hyperuricemia and gout attack. At present, the foods with high purine content are mainly animal viscera such as liver, kidney, heart and pancreas, sardines, anchovies, cod, salmon and their eggs, bacon, leg of lamb, pheasants and pigeons. Therefore, gout patients should eat less or not eat the above foods. We can choose fresh pork, chicken, freshwater fish and milk appropriately, supplement a certain amount of protein, and eat more fresh vegetables at the same time, which makes the diet more reasonable and helps to prevent gout attacks.
Carbohydrate can promote uric acid excretion, and patients can eat rice, steamed bread, pasta and so on. Rich in carbohydrates; All kinds of vitamins, especially B vitamins and vitamin C, should be supplied in sufficient quantities, which will help to dissolve urate accumulated in tissues. Alkaline foods such as vegetables and fruits rich in minerals are beneficial to the dissolution and excretion of uric acid, so you should eat more.
Lotus root is low in purine and can be eaten more. Lotus root itself is a kind of warm food. Pharmacologically speaking, warm food has the functions of warming middle warmer, supporting yang and dispelling cold, and is often used for cold diseases. However, some gout patients belong to "cold" diseases such as yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency or phlegm-dampness constitution, and are afraid of cold, indigestion or puffiness. Therefore, the warmth of lotus root can neutralize the "cold" disease of gout patients. So gout patients can eat lotus root isothermal food.
Can gout eat lotus root? The above is the corresponding introduction, I believe everyone has their own findings, so patients need to take a cautious attitude when treating diseases, especially pay attention to some dietary taboos to avoid the negative effects caused by improper treatment.
What can gout and hyperuricemia patients eat? What can't people with gout or high uric acid eat? These problems have become commonplace for a gout doctor like me. Poor diet is an important factor causing hyperuricemia and gout attack, but it can only be regarded as "one"; Although it is only a part of it, it also makes the majority of gout patients have to be cautious. We need to be cautious about food, but we can't be too cautious.
Many patients usually ask me some "strange" questions about gout diet. No way, after all, some "delicious" foods really need to be discounted after suffering from gout, and it is really difficult to eat as you like. However, there are some questions that I need to answer, and I'm afraid it will take some effort:
These problems can't be said to be "exotic flowers", but they reflect that people with gout and hyperuricemia are too "sensitive" and even afraid of purine foods. In fact, this is a common misunderstanding that needs to be corrected:
The influence of diet on gout patients is not only purine, but also fat, calories, protein and sugar. There are purines in food, so it is more important to limit the whole purine intake than to limit the individual food intake. For gout patients, it is more appropriate to maintain a balanced nutrition and a proper diet.
Having said that, let's take a look at today's theme: Does lotus root affect uric acid? Maybe the answer has come out.
Is the purity of lotus root high? Will it increase uric acid? When treating purine foods, gout patients mainly avoid eating ultra-high purine foods (purine content 150mg/ 100g), and do not eat moderate foods in acute stage, but low purine foods (purine content 30-75g).
Lotus root is a kind of vegetable, which is commonly used by people. You can eat it raw or cooked, which is the premise. Vegetables belong to plant purine food, which is a characteristic. Lotus root, as a plant purine food, even if it is rich in purine, will not increase the level of blood uric acid and the incidence of gout. This is the answer.
From the purine content of lotus root and the plant properties of lotus root, we can see that the daily food we often eat will not lead to the increase of uric acid. Furthermore, eating more lotus root, water bamboo, taro, potatoes and other foods every day will not only increase uric acid, but also alkalize urine and promote uric acid excretion.
Is lotus root high in nutritional value? Can I do it myself? Lotus root is mainly produced in the south and can only be dug in autumn and winter. In fact, its medicinal value is not exaggerated: clearing heat and cooling blood, relaxing bowels and stopping diarrhea, strengthening spleen and appetizing. Although these are somewhat "illusory", they still show that lotus root is at least beneficial to the body.
If you want to study it carefully, lotus root is really rich in nutrients. We can look at its main nutrients:
So, are you relieved? Lotus root has low purine content, rich nutrition and low lactose content. Eating more lotus roots can supplement minerals such as B vitamins and dietary fiber. It is one of the most suitable foods for patients with gout and hyperuricemia.
However, such a suitable food can be eaten casually? I don't think such food should pay attention to cooking methods, especially when cooking lotus roots.
Now do you understand what effect eating lotus root has on gout and hyperuricemia patients? If the daily diet, lotus root, meat and staple food, it is recommended to eat together. Of course, eat lotus root first, and then eat meat, which can control the total amount and make the diet structure more balanced.
Autumn and winter are actually the season to eat lotus root, which is also called lotus root, lotus root, vegetable lotus root, fruit lotus root and so on. It is rich in very rich nutrients, such as starch, protein, aspartic acid, vitamin C, oxidase, and its sugar content is relatively high. Eating lotus root raw can clear away heat, quench thirst and stop vomiting. Cooked lotus root can strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite, replenish blood and nourish the heart, replenish the five internal organs, help digestion, quench thirst and promote fluid production. Therefore, in fact, there are still many people who are suitable for lotus root, and it is the same for people with high uric acid, but it has no special effect on uric acid, so it can be safely eaten without aggravating.
There are two main factors for the increase of uric acid, one is endogenous and the other is exogenous. There are many endogenous factors, such as metabolic problems caused by obesity, which are the most important factors leading to the increase of uric acid. If uric acid in the body cannot be metabolized, then uric acid will rise. In addition, excessive pressure will also cause an increase in waste and uric acid in the body. In addition, external factors, as we all know, are dietary factors. Excessive intake of foods with high purine content will affect uric acid value, such as shellfish products in seafood, meat of livestock, honey and other foods. In addition, we should eat less food, that is, spicy and irritating food, such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, mustard, curry and so on, because irritating food will also increase the metabolism of waste in the body.
But besides diet, there are also some lifestyle problems, such as staying up late, excessive mental stress and excessive exercise. Because these bad habits will accelerate the metabolism of the body, produce more waste, lead to the increase of uric acid, which is not conducive to the control of uric acid. If you want to control uric acid, you can start from these aspects, and the effect will be better.
Lotus root is a common food in our life, which is rich in nutritional value and deeply loved by the public. Lotus root itself belongs to low purine food, which has little effect on blood uric acid level. For patients with hyperuricemia, it can be eaten without raising blood uric acid level or inducing gout attack.
What I need to pay attention to is that although the content of purine in lotus root is low, it is no problem to eat it directly, but lotus root is often used in our life to make stew soup, such as lotus root ribs soup, lotus root trotters soup and so on. , with or without purine soluble in water, and this kind of broth is often high in purine, which is not suitable for patients with hyperuricemia.
I hope everyone can correctly understand that patients with hyperuricemia should pay attention to strictly limiting the intake of high purine food in their daily diet, not eating animal viscera, shelled seafood and broth, and eating less meat, fungi and beans; Also try to eat less high fructose foods, such as juice, cola and other fructose-rich drinks; At the same time, try not to drink alcohol, especially beer and yellow wine. It is difficult for alcoholics to recommend drinking a small amount of red wine.
While maintaining good eating habits, we should also pay attention to actively quitting smoking, drinking more water, keeping warm, exercising properly, controlling weight, working regularly and maintaining a good attitude, and paying attention to monitoring the changes of illness and regular review. If necessary, drugs can be used to reduce uric acid, so as to stabilize the condition, reduce complications such as gout and improve the quality of life.
Every100g of lotus root contains no more than 20mg of purine substances, so lotus root belongs to a hypopurine diet, and patients with hyperuricemia or gout can safely eat it.
In addition, we all know that uric acid in human body comes from the decomposition of purine substances, and purine comes from the metabolism of some substances in human body. About 20% of these substances that can provide purine for the body come from diet, so doctors will tell patients to "eat reasonably" and try to avoid eating too much purine food.
However, clinical studies in recent years have confirmed that what we call "purine" is also divided into animals and plants, and its effects on patients with hyperuricemia and gout are very different. Among them, plant purine is safer, in other words, plant purine is more suitable for such patients than animal purine, and the probability of inducing gout is less.
The study also found that the attack of hyperuricemia and gout has no obvious correlation with the content of purine substances in plant-based diet, that is to say, even vegetables with slightly higher purine content, such as lettuce, spinach, or beans and related products, patients don't have to worry too much, and they can eat them with peace of mind if they serve three meals occasionally;
However, it should be noted that patients with hyperuricemia and gout should try to avoid mixing vegetables and meat. For example, the lotus root mentioned in the question can be eaten correctly if cooked alone. However, if it is made into soup or cooked with meat, it may "wrap" a lot of broth into the abdomen because of the permeability of lotus root, which is not much different from drinking broth directly. Therefore, for the above patients, vegetables should be eaten alone.
In a word, only lotus root is safe to eat, which has little effect on the serum uric acid level of patients.
Lotus root is a food that grows in water, and it is also one of the foods that people like to eat. There are many ways to eat it, such as frying, mixing and stewing. It tastes very good. Just because lotus roots grow in ponds, people with high uric acid are a little worried about eating lotus roots. Can they eat by themselves?
For food, according to its purine content, it is divided into three grades, namely high purine food, medium purine food and low purine food. Patients with hyperuricemia and gout can eat low purine food when choosing food, and moderate purine food when gout is relieved. As for high purine food, it is a diet forbidden area for gout patients and hyperuricemia patients.
The content of purine in lotus root is about 20~30mg/ 100g, which belongs to low purine food. Patients with gout and hyperuricemia can safely eat lotus root. Most people eat lotus roots as vegetables, such as cold lotus roots, fried lotus roots or stewed lotus roots. These ways of eating are to eat lotus roots as vegetables. In fact, lotus root has a high carbohydrate content and is more suitable as a staple food or a substitute for staple food.
The factors affecting uric acid can be divided into endogenous factors and exogenous factors, of which endogenous factors account for 70% and exogenous factors only account for 30%, but they cannot be ignored. Purine in food is the protagonist of external cause, and people with high uric acid should keep in mind when choosing food. Animal food has high purine content, so eat less animal food. Most vegetables have low purine content, while chrysanthemums have high purine content. For these vegetables with high purine content, blanching can be used to reduce the purine content.
People with high uric acid should not only pay attention to the choice of food, but also pay attention to exercise and rest. Moderate exercise is good for health, and staying up late less is also an indispensable factor for good health.
High uric acid is on the rise and tends to be younger. Barbecue, fast food and drinking, especially beer, people's eating habits make serum uric acid easy to rise, and high uric acid is easy to induce gout. Therefore, we should pay attention to diet, control the intake of exogenous uric acid, and reduce the risk of acute gout attack. Does eating lotus root affect uric acid?
Lotus root, also known as lotus root, lotus root and pond lotus root, has high medicinal value. Cold in nature and sweet in taste, returning to the heart, spleen and stomach meridians, fresh products tend to produce fluid and cool blood, while raw food can clear away heat and produce fluid, cool blood and dissipate blood stasis; Cooked products can often strengthen the spleen and replenish blood. Lotus root is sweet and crisp. It can be eaten raw or cooked. Its roots, leaves, flowers and fruits (lotus root, lotus root, lotus seed, lotus plumule and lotus leaf) are all precious and can be used as medicine. Has the effects of invigorating spleen, stimulating appetite, promoting digestion, relieving diarrhea, relaxing bowels, clearing heat, nourishing blood, promoting granulation, stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis. Lotus root starch is a liquid food and nourishing treasure suitable for all ages, especially for the weak and sick. Modern pharmacological studies have found that lotus root contains starch 10% 20% and protein 1% 2%, and is rich in trace elements such as vitamins, dietary fiber, iron, calcium and zinc, as well as active ingredients such as tannic acid, mucin, betulinic acid, flavonoids, liensinine and organic acids, which have nourishing and preventing internal bleeding.
Does eating lotus root affect uric acid? Yes, it can induce diuresis and reduce uric acid, and it is safe to eat. Lotus root is a low purine food, with a purine value of 25mg per100g. People with high uric acid can eat it often. It also has the effect of diuresis and cooling blood. Regular consumption of lotus root or brewing lotus root powder can promote the excretion of uric acid and help reduce uric acid. # Breeze Project #
Gout used to be a disease of wealth, but now living conditions are good and gout has become a common disease. Gout is the pain caused by uric acid accumulation in the blood. This kind of patients usually pay attention to diet, so will lotus root also affect uric acid? On this issue, let's first learn what the lotus root is like.
Normal uric acid has no influence on ordinary people, and patients with high uric acid have the greatest influence, or gout patients talk about uric acid, which people usually don't pay attention to. Because our uric acid is normal at ordinary times, it will not have a great impact on the body.
Patients with hyperuricemia and gout should pay special attention to uric acid. Why should we pay special attention to uric acid? It is actually related to diseases caused by uric acid.
Too much uric acid in the blood can easily lead to gout and hyperuricemia.
From the point of view of western medicine, gout is caused by the high level of uric acid in our body, which leads to the deposition of uric acid crystals in and around our joints, thus causing diseases such as redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints.
When gout is acute, it is very painful, and the joints are prone to swelling and pain.
The formation of high uric acid is related to many factors, such as genetic factors, endogenous uric acid, exogenous uric acid and so on.
Endogenous uric acid, such as imbalance of uric acid metabolism and excessive synthesis of endogenous purine; Exogenous uric acid, such as food in the diet contains too much purine, and we can easily produce more uric acid if we consume too much purine.
The final product of purine is uric acid. The more purines, the more uric acid is produced. To control the formation of uric acid, we start with the purine content in the diet, which is the formation of exogenous uric acid that we can control independently, and we can also improve it from the aspects of eating habits, living habits and exercise habits.
Vegetables are mostly low purine food, so is lotus root high purine or low purine food? Generally speaking, the standard of purine content in food is higher than 70mg/ 100g, so we can consider it as high purine food.
Scientists found through experiments that the purine content in plant food is different from that in animal food. Purine content in most plant foods is low, such as vegetables, fruits, rice, wheat and so on. , are not very high, so the factors affecting the formation of uric acid are very small.
The purine content in animals and plants is high, and the purine content in animal viscera, such as liver, and seafood and other ingredients, such as shells and fish, is very high. This is also the reason why we ordinary people are popular with gout, because we eat too much fish and meat.
After research, scientists have found that plant purine, after being metabolized by human body, will not induce severe uric acid fluctuation, which will lead to a less chance of gout attack. Therefore, plant food is safer than people with hyperuricemia and gout.
The purine content in lotus root is about 25mg/ 100g, which is a standard low purine plant food, so patients with high uric acid or gout can eat lotus root normally.
If you use lotus root to cook bone soup, you should pay attention. The content of purine in soup is greatly increased, which is not caused by long-term decoction of lotus root, but by the bones contained in it.
How do gout patients eat? Compared with the purine in animal food, the purine contained in plant vegetables is more reassuring. Purine contained in vegetables rarely has a great influence on patients with gout or high uric acid. This kind of food can be used as normal food, and eat less animal food, such as animal offal and seafood.
In short, eating more vegetables and less meat can avoid gout to a great extent. Of course, we should also pay attention to diet and living habits.
Patients with gout or hyperuricemia need to eat various foods under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian. Avoid gout caused by our carelessness.
