Gout is often complicated by obesity, diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Patients should abide by the following dietary principles:

Maintain ideal weight. If you are overweight or obese, you should lose weight. However, weight loss should be gradual, otherwise it may easily lead to ketosis or an acute attack of gout; carbohydrates can promote the excretion of uric acid, and patients can eat carbohydrate-rich rice, steamed buns, pasta, etc.; protein can be taken in proportion according to body weight, 1 You should consume 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, mainly milk and eggs. If it is lean meat, chicken, duck, etc., it should be boiled and eaten in soup, and avoid eating stewed or braised meat; eat less fat, because fat can reduce the excretion of uric acid. For patients with gout and hyperlipidemia, fat intake should be controlled within 20% to 25% of total calories; drink plenty of water, 2000ml to 3000ml of water per day, to promote the elimination of uric acid; eat less salt, limit it to Within 2 to 5 grams; prohibit alcohol, as alcohol can easily accumulate lactic acid in the body, inhibit uric acid excretion, and easily induce gout; use less strongly stimulating condiments or spices; limit purine intake. Purine is a component in the cell nucleus. As long as the food containing cells contains purine, animal foods contain more purine. Patients should not eat offal, bone marrow, seafood, fermented foods, beans, etc.; they should not use drugs that inhibit uric acid excretion.
