Gout is a metabolic disease, which is closely related to dietary structure. The supply of a reasonable diet is also a very important measure to relieve symptoms and promote early recovery. The diet should pay attention to the following points: 1. Obese gout patients should limit the total calories, gradually reduce body weight, and strictly prohibit overeating and binge drinking. At the same time to eat less sucrose and all kinds of sweets, in order to reduce the body's sensitivity to purine, to improve the symptoms and shorten the course of the disease has certain benefits.

2. Low-fat diet, especially animal fats should be eaten less. Restricting fat can increase the elimination of urate (the main component that causes gout), which would otherwise promote gout or aggravate the condition.

3. Limit purine and protein intake. Normal people's daily dietary intake of purine is about 600 to 1,000 milligrams, while gout patients should be limited to less than 250 milligrams. While limiting purine, protein intake should also be limited because the special kinetic effect that protein has can increase the production of endogenous uric acid and aggravate the patient's symptoms. Protein foods should be based on plant-based cereal proteins with animal foods such as eggs and milk, which contain fewer purines. Meat and fish food should be boiled first, remove the original soup and then cooking, because 50% of the purine are contained in the soup, abandon the soup to eat meat can be supplemented with high-quality proteins, but also can reduce the intake of purine. Purine-containing foods, such as beef, lamb, sausage, ham, salted fish, animal offal, dried beans and soy products, thick meat soup, chicken soup, fish soup, and spinach, cauliflower, mushrooms and so on.

4. Limit the intake of salt and foods that are irritating to the nerves. Salt can cause water retention in the body, hindering uric acid excretion. Avoid strong tea and coffee, do not use mustard, and use less onion, ginger, pepper and other spicy condiments that are irritating. Alcohol is a gout trigger, so it should be strictly contraindicated.

5. Increase the supply of vitamin B, C and water. Vitamins B and C can promote the dissolution of urate in the tissues, water is not only the dissolving agent of urate, but also to promote excretion, so gout patients in addition to usually eat more melon (watermelon, winter melon, cucumber, etc.), fruits, vegetables, but also should be planned to drink more water, to maintain the amount of daily urinary output of more than 2,000 milliliters.
