What can't gout eat?

According to the recommendation of American Rheumatology Association, the following foods are high in purine content, so gout patients should avoid or limit their intake of these foods, including but not limited to animal viscera, beef, scallops, tuna, yeast, beer, fruit juice and soda water.

Among the common foods in China, the purine content in the liver, brain, heart and other organs of animals is very high. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid both the attack and the remission. In addition, all kinds of meat, such as pork, beef, mutton and aquatic products, are not low in purine content, so we should pay great attention to intake. It is suggested that the daily intake of animal protein should be between 1 10- 170 g.

What should gout patients eat?

1. Lose weight

Being overweight increases the risk of gout. Studies have shown that after reducing calories and weight loss, uric acid levels can be reduced and gout attacks can be reduced even if purine intake is not restricted too much. In addition, losing weight can reduce the stress on joints and relieve the symptoms of arthritis.

2. Carbohydrates

Eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains can provide carbohydrates and benefit gout patients. But we should pay attention to avoid the following three things: white bread, cake and sugar.

3. Water

Drinking more water can reduce gout attacks, so it is recommended that gout patients drink 2000ml of water every day. .

4. Plant protein

In the case of restricting meat intake, the source of protein is particularly important, and it is a good choice to eat protein through beans. Although the purine content in fresh beans is not low, it will decrease after cooking, which is a good way to obtain protein.

5. Low-fat or fat-free dairy products

It is suggested that gout patients should eat low-fat yogurt, skim milk and other dairy products, which can not only obtain protein, but also reduce uric acid level.

6. High-purine vegetables

Studies have shown that purines in vegetables do not increase the risk of gout attacks. Therefore, although asparagus, spinach, cauliflower, mushrooms and so on. They are all high-purine vegetables, and they can also be properly ingested.

7. Other studies show that vitamin C, coffee and cherries all help to reduce gout attacks, so it is recommended to take them in moderation.

Can gout patients drink alcohol?

As mentioned above, uric acid is mainly excreted through urine, and drinking a lot can accelerate the decomposition of purine and accelerate the production of uric acid. At the same time, alcohol is not conducive to the filtration of uric acid by renal tubules and reduces the excretion of uric acid. The interruption of uric acid excretion pathway will lead to uric acid accumulation, so gout patients are not advised to drink alcohol, especially yellow wine and beer.

Do gout patients need to limit their sugar intake?

The effect of sugary foods on uric acid level in the body is still controversial. However, sugar intake is related to obesity, which is a known risk factor for gout, so it is best to limit sugar intake.

In addition, some drinks with high sugar content have been proved to increase the risk of gout. Although the purine content of these drinks is not high, they may affect the uric acid content in the body through other ways, so gout patients should also avoid taking sugary drinks.
