The symptoms of gout are sudden joint pain and joint irritation, especially at night, and sometimes even walking is very painful.
Diet control is one of the most important methods to relieve gout symptoms. Gout patients should eat more low-purine foods, less medium-purine foods and not high-purine foods.
Gout should not eat high fructose food.
One kind of food is easily overlooked by us, and that is high fructose food. What is fructose corn syrup? This is a nutritional sweetener made from corn.
Fructose is little known, but when it comes to foods containing fructose, it is well known. Such as bread, biscuits, syrup, jelly, carbonated drinks, milk tea, concentrated juice, etc.
The mechanism of fructose increasing serum uric acid mainly includes:
In human body, the phosphorylation of fructose in liver consumes energy ATP and a lot of inorganic phosphate, which limits the conversion of adenosine diphosphate to adenosine triphosphate, resulting in the increase of monophosphate production as a substrate of uric acid synthesis bypass pathway and the increase of blood uric acid level.
Fructose is degraded by ATP to adenosine phosphate, which increases the level of serum uric acid.
Fructose increases insulin resistance and circulating insulin level, and indirectly increases blood uric acid level.
Therefore, beverages containing fructose need to be considered. Relatively speaking, sugary drinks or drinks are high in calories and contain many additives such as syrup, which is almost useless to the human body.
So what foods mainly containing fructose should be avoided?
Fruits with high fructose: fig, orange, kiwi, grapefruit, litchi, persimmon, longan, banana, bayberry, pomegranate, etc. , except dried fruits and dried fruits;
High fructose processed foods: ice cream, scallops, shrimp strips, walnut powder, sesame sauce, hawthorn slices, preserved plum, tomato sauce, salad dressing, etc.
High fructose table food: braised pork ribs, braised fish, shredded pork with fish flavor, shredded banana, etc.
Dr. Liu's advice is that these foods with high fructose should not be eaten on an empty stomach. Those drinks with high fructose are more dangerous because it is easier to eat more at a time.
Gout avoid eating high-salt food salt is no stranger in our daily life. We can't live without salt, but according to the recommendation of China Nutrition Society, the daily amount of salt should not exceed 6g, which is equivalent to the amount of a beer bottle cap. For gout patients, it is best not to exceed 5g. For patients with gout complicated with hypertension, it is halved.
The influence of salt on gout patients is mainly sodium salt, and we all know that too high sodium salt will affect uric acid excretion; On the other hand, too much sodium can also lead to high blood pressure.
In daily life, especially in the kitchen, bottles and jars of condiments all contain sodium salt, such as monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, soy sauce, Chili sauce and so on. These are used as condiments in daily cooking, and gout patients should pay more attention to them.
