Hello, I'm Dr. Yang.

Gout can not only bring people physical pain, but also mental torture. After taboo, so many food temptations make people exhausted, but in fact, the so-called "taboo" contains many misunderstandings, and if you frame yourself too tightly, you will lose a lot of fun.

How do gout patients choose their diet? Hello, everyone. I'm Dr. Yang. Gout will not only bring people physical pain, but also mental torture. After taboo, so many food temptations make people exhausted, but in fact, the so-called "taboo" contains many misunderstandings, and if you frame yourself too tightly, you will lose a lot of fun.

Many people use their mobile phones to check the purine content as soon as they have gout. Once they find it too high, they give up eating. This is true in principle, but there are always exceptions.

lettuce, green beans and other vegetables contain more purine, but it will not increase the level of serum uric acid and the incidence of gout; Bean products also contain a lot of purine, but after eating, it will not only improve the purine level, but also help reduce the uric acid content to a certain extent, and it is edible in remission or chronic period.

The purine content of different seafood is very different. Jellyfish and sea cucumber are low-purine marine delicacies, and it's completely no problem to satisfy the craving through this seafood in chronic or remission period.

Too strict diet control will lead to "eating chaff and swallow vegetables" all day long, which will not only be difficult to adhere to, but also reduce the quality of life, resulting in malnutrition and nutritional imbalance, which is even more detrimental to health. As long as a reasonable diet is achieved, the uric acid level can be strictly controlled through drugs, and there is no need to control the diet so strictly.

The content of fructose in fruits can't be generalized. Fructose will not only increase uric acid production, but also indirectly reduce uric acid excretion. Therefore, gout patients also need to control the quantity of fruit foods, and it is best not to eat ultra-high sugar fruits such as litchi.

Coffee and tea contain caffeine, theophylline and theobromine, which are metabolized in the body to produce methyl urate. Many people mistakenly think that "methyl urate" and "urate" which cause gout are the same thing. In fact, this concept is wrong. Methurate does not deposit in joint tissues and has nothing to do with ventilation.

But at the same time, it should be noted that high concentration of tea and sweetened coffee will attack your body defense in other ways, so it is recommended to reduce your intake.
