A low-purine diet should be adhered to. Most fruits have very low purine content and are suitable for consumption. Principles of High Uric Acid Diet Any increase in uric acid secretion or decrease in excretion will lead to an increase in blood uric acid levels. Excessive uric acid production may be due to excessive intake of a high-purine diet, or it may be due to a lack of essential enzymes that affect purine metabolism, resulting in elevated uric acid. Of course, it is not ruled out that factors such as excretion disorders caused by kidney disease may lead to high uric acid[1]. When uric acid is high, you should adhere to the principles of a low-purine diet, including encouraging a low-purine diet, encouraging the consumption of alkaline foods, controlling total alcohol intake, and maintaining adequate drinking water.

A low-purine diet requires eating refined rice flour, eggs and milk products, vegetables and fruits. If uric acid is high, just eat any fruit. For people with high uric acid, most fruits can be eaten, because most fruits are low-purine foods and have a very good effect in reducing uric acid. Cherries, bananas and watermelon are especially good. Cherry is an alkaline food, and the solubility of uric acid in an alkaline environment is much higher than that in an acidic environment, which can dissolve increased uric acid. Therefore, cherries are the most suitable fruit for patients with high uric acid.

Banana has the highest potassium content among fruits. You can eat more of it because potassium is a good element that promotes the kidneys to excrete uric acid. Bananas are also rich in dietary fiber, a variety of trace elements and vitamins, and are rich in nutrients. Watermelon is a diuretic fruit. People with high urea especially need to eat diuretic foods, which can accelerate the excretion of uric acid. But for patients with high uric acid combined with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, they should eat less watermelon, after all, it contains high sugar content. People with high uric acid should not eat high-purine foods such as animal offal, soup, seafood, and beer.

Foods with high purine content such as animal organs, thick soups, seafood, and beer contain 150mg to 100mg per 100g of these foods. People with high uric acid are not recommended to eat such foods to avoid aggravating the condition. It is recommended that people with high uric acid should manage their diet well. They can eat low-purine foods such as vegetables, fruits, milk, and eggs, and eat less or no foods containing medium purines, such as fungi, beans, soy products, meat, fish, and whole grains. At the same time, people with high uric acid need to quit smoking and drinking, drink more water, improve their lifestyle, control their weight, and avoid disease-causing factors. If symptoms of discomfort occur, please go to the hospital in time.
