As we all know, patients with high uric acid and gout should avoid eating seafood. The reason is very simple. It is because most seafood is high in purine. It should be avoided especially in the acute gout period. Once ingested, it is likely to trigger a gout attack. , but do you know?

There are several types of meat that may have higher purine content than seafood.

Duck liver: According to the "China Nutritional Facts Table", the purine content of cooked duck liver is as high as 398 mg per 100 grams, and its calories are comparable to some seafood. For example, grilled shrimp has a purine content of 389 mg per 100 grams; cooked shrimp has 265 mg per 100 grams. Many people who like to eat animal livers should be wary.

Except for people with high uric acid, even healthy adults should eat less of such delicacies. According to the standards of the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022 Edition)", eat 1 animal offal per month ~2 times, each time should not exceed 50g.

Mutton kebabs: The purine content of cooked mutton kebabs per 100 grams is 223 mg. Especially as the temperature rises and summer approaches, many people like to drink beer and eat kebabs. Not only the purine content of the meat kebabs relatively high.

Although the purine content in drinks such as beer does not seem to be very high, the alcohol in it will form a resistance to uric acid in the body. Through the metabolism of ethanol, the concentration of blood lactic acid will increase, and the kidneys will abnormally excrete uric acid. Afterwards, the blood uric acid concentration increased.

In modern life, there are also patients who have been diagnosed with gout. After drinking a lot of beer, their condition worsens, and even triggers a gout attack. On the contrary, among people who have developed the habit of drinking, the probability of gout is reduced after they stop drinking.

Roast chicken: Among all kinds of meat delicacies, roast chicken is a very delicious dish to go with wine. It has an attractive taste and can stimulate appetite. Did you know that the purine content of roast chicken is as high as 188 mg per 100 grams. Patients with acute gout are best not to choose roast chicken.

On the contrary, gout patients can choose fish with lower purine content, including whitebait, cod, cod, sardines, etc. in moderation. Therefore, it’s not that you can’t eat meat, but you have to choose the right kind of meat to eat.

In addition, when it comes to whether patients with gout should eat fruits, there is no need to avoid it excessively, because fruits are also rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, dietary fiber, vitamin B complex and other ingredients needed by the human body.

However, for people with gout and hyperuricemia, it is not advisable to eat fruits with high fructose content, such as watermelon, hawthorn, etc. Choosing fruits with less fructose will help the body excrete more uric acid. Such as strawberries, cherries, peaches, cherries, pineapples, etc.

At the same time, avoid drinking fruit juices with high sugar content directly, which may become a weapon for aggravating the condition, which is not good for controlling the disease and is not good for preventing obesity.
