Most aquatic products have lower fat content but more purine. Some gout patients summarize their daily dietary principles as: low salt and low fat. But in fact, a low-purine diet and a low-fat diet are different.

Gout patients do not need to strictly control their diet and regard low purine as the "gold standard" of their diet, because if they eat less meat vegetables and oil for a long time, an excessively low purine diet will lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Although various types of meat dishes contain relatively high amounts of purine, there are differences in quantity. Therefore, gout patients do not need to be too demanding about being vegetarian. It is necessary to adopt a combination of meat and vegetables to achieve balanced nutrition.

How to eat meat correctly?

1. Eat twice-cooked meat

Gout patients can eat some "twice-cooked meat" because purine is easily soluble in water. After the meat is boiled or blanched for the first time, purine is eliminated. Most of them have been dissolved into the soup, and the purine content in the meat itself has been greatly reduced. In other words, when gout patients eat meat, they can boil the meat in water first, discard the soup, and then cook it with vegetables.

However, since "twice-cooked pork" is still a high-protein, high-calorie food, gout patients should try to choose lean meat when choosing meat, and still control the dosage. Also, avoid braised or slow-cooked meats.

2. When eating meat, look for white meat

It is recommended that gout patients choose poultry as much as possible and red meat secondarily, which will help control weight and blood lipids. For lunch, you can choose lean meat such as chicken legs, and the total amount should not exceed the size of an egg. Fish and shrimp contain high-quality protein, and you can also choose those with low purine to eat.

3. Drink some Shanzhi deacidified tea at ordinary times to control the uric acid level in the body

Shanzhi deacidified tea was first seen in "Qian Jin Yao Prescription" by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. Later, it was made according to actual needs. increase or decrease. Take two coins of chicory, one coin of gardenia, two grams of mulberry leaves, two grams of lily, and two grams of kudzu root and boil them with an appropriate amount of water. Long-term consumption can reduce uric acid and relieve gout pain.

Shanzhi deacidified tea contains some natural alkaline ingredients, which can promote the metabolism of uric acid in the human body. High uric acid is an important factor leading to gout in the human body, so lowering uric acid can help prevent gout.

After eating meat, drinking some Shanzhi deacidified tea can help alkalize uric acid in the body, promote uric acid excretion, and balance uric acid levels.
