Gout is like a terrible nightmare. It is hidden during the day, but when night falls, it will reveal its ferocious face. The deeper the night, the more rampant it will be, which will often make patients wake up from their sleep in pain, like countless steel needles constantly pricking and pricking their toes. The only feeling is pain. The deepest pain from the soul will make you feel miserable and painful.

in order to stay away from gout and prevent gout from coming to you in the middle of the night, don't eat these foods or eat less.

1. High-purine diet: animal offal, seafood and broth

High-purine diet is one of the main factors inducing gout, while animal offal, seafood and broth are almost high-purine diets, which are the "natural enemies" of every friend with high uric acid and gout, so it is necessary to strictly control the intake, especially animal offal, which is often high in purine, fat and cholesterol. It is recommended not to do so.

It should be noted that some seafood, such as whitebait, cod, tuna, turbot, grass carp, eel, tilapia, etc., are moderate purine foods, which can be eaten in moderation.

2. Prohibition of alcohol

"The more you drink gout, the more you get". Drinking alcohol is the most important factor to induce gout in men. No matter beer, red wine, white wine, fruit wine, etc., drinking alcohol is not recommended. There are three reasons why alcohol affects uric acid metabolism:

A. Alcohol needs liver tissue metabolism, and uric acid is generated during metabolism.

B. Alcohol metabolism will produce lactic acid, which needs to be excreted through the kidney, but the mechanism of human excretion of lactic acid and uric acid is similar. Increased lactic acid will increase the burden on the kidney and slow down the excretion of uric acid in the kidney;

C. While drinking, you often consume a large number of high-purity diets, such as wine+barbecue, wine+seafood, etc.

3. Drinking less or not drinking drinks and fruit juice

There are a lot of fructose in drinks and fruit juice, which is also one of the main factors inducing gout. Many young people suffer from gout, and drink drinks as water for a long time. Uric acid, blood sugar and weight are high, and chronic diseases such as gout and diabetes are at great risk.

There are three reasons why drinks or fruit juices affect uric acid:

A. There are a lot of fructose in drinks and fruit juices. Fructose is a monosaccharide, which is easily absorbed by the human body, participates in the energy metabolism of the human body, and produces a lot of uric acid during the metabolism. Thereby causing an increase in uric acid levels.

B. Fructose, like alcohol, produces lactic acid after metabolism, and competes with uric acid for excretion in the kidney, which delays the excretion of uric acid in the kidney and leads to the increase of uric acid level.

C. Drinking drinks for a long time is prone to obesity, while obese people are prone to endocrine and metabolic disorders, which leads to the increase of uric acid and blood sugar;

Note: It is recommended to eat more fresh fruits and stay away from all kinds of freshly squeezed juice or juice drinks.

4. Reduce the intake of red meat

We often say that red meat mainly refers to pig, cow, sheep, donkey, rabbit meat, etc. Red meat itself belongs to a medium-high purine diet, and excessive intake will lead to an increase in uric acid level, so we should reduce the intake of red meat.

In particular, fat meat, cured meat, processed meat, etc. are high in salt and fat, which is not conducive to uric acid control. It is recommended to eat as little as possible or not.

5. Reduce the high-fat diet

Fat does not contain a lot of purines, but hyperlipidemia and hypertension are often in collusion with gout, and high-fat diet is also the need to reduce the intake of these diseases.

The high-fat diet in our daily life often appears in processed foods, such as hamburgers, snacks, cakes, potato chips, moon cakes, etc., so we must control the intake.

Finally:

Diet control is the foundation to prevent and treat hyperuricemia and gout. Try to eat less or not to eat the above five kinds of diets to help everyone stay away from gout. Remember to share them with you!

Tips

There are no symptoms before gout attacks, so we must monitor uric acid on time. Usually, uric acid should be controlled below 42umol/L; Patients with diabetes and hypertension should be controlled below 36umol/L; For patients with tophus, chronic gout and frequent gout attacks, serum uric acid should be maintained below 3umol/L for a long time.
