1, boiled water
In addition to taking medicine according to the doctor's advice, gout patients should drink more water to promote uric acid excretion. Therefore, gout patients should develop good drinking habits.
And the so-called "good" drinking habits, first of all, it is best to drink boiled water (you can add a little salt, generally, 500 ml of water plus 1 g of salt to facilitate the absorption of water by the human body), and you should ensure that the amount of drinking water is not less than 1500 ml every day.
Secondly, the best time to drink water is 45 minutes after a meal, some time before going to bed, and 30 minutes after getting up in the morning before breakfast.
Finally, you can't not drink or drink less water at ordinary times, and wait until you are thirsty.
2, soda water
This more suitable drink is soda water, which is recommended for gout patients except boiled water.
Soda water is an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, which is weakly alkaline. It is often used for external disinfection and sterilization in medicine, and can also be used for drinking, which can help neutralize the acid-base balance in the human body and promote the excretion of uric acid in the body.
Soda water is naturally formed, and it can also be produced manually by weak alkali effervescent tablets, soda effervescent tablets and machines. Natural soda water contains a variety of trace elements besides bicarbonate, so it is a good drink. It is not only suitable for preventing gout, but also has other benefits to human body, such as nourishing stomach, relieving dyspepsia and constipation symptoms, and preventing skin aging.
However, it is best to drink soda water reasonably after regularly detecting the PH value of urine, so as to make soda water play its anti-gout role more reasonably and effectively. Patients with gastritis or hypertension should not drink soda water.
It should also be reminded here that most of the soda water sold in the market is a synthetic carbonated drink by pressing carbon dioxide into purified drinking water and adding sweeteners and spices, but the really healthy soda water tastes just like aerated mineral water, so we should pay attention to the distinction when selecting it.
3. Drink tea
Drinking tea is very beneficial to health, such as refreshing, helping to stabilize blood sugar and blood pressure, and improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. In recent years, studies have shown that the substance of methylxanthine after metabolism in the body is methylurate, which is two different substances from urate, and it will not be deposited in kidneys and joints, nor will it form tophus. Moreover, tea is weakly alkaline, and moderate drinking can also help the body excrete uric acid and alkalize urine. Therefore, drinking tea regularly and in moderation is beneficial to prevent hyperuricemia and gout.
However, when drinking tea, you need to pay attention to some details, that is, eight taboos for drinking tea: 1. Avoid drinking strong tea; 2. Avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach; 3. Avoid drinking too much tea; 4. Avoid boiling tea; 5. Avoid drinking tea when you have a fever; 6. Avoid drinking strong tea after meals; 7. Avoid drinking tea and taking medicine; 8. Avoid drinking tea that has been soaked for a long time;
Usually, you can choose to drink some light tea after meals 1 hour. Because tea contains a lot of tannic acid, black tea 5%~6%, and green tea is higher 10%~24%, if you drink tea immediately after meals, it will lead to the combination of tannic acid and iron in food, forming insoluble precipitate, which is not conducive to iron absorption, and it is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia for a long time; Tannic acid also hinders the body's absorption of spoiled eggs.
I hope it helps you.
