We all know that high uric acid requires long-term medication. We also know that long-term medication will lead to drug resistance and side effects.
We also know that high uric acid is related to diet, and we hope to get rid of the disease caused by eating it again.
So what can you eat to lower uric acid and eliminate uric acid? This article talks about the three fruits that uric acid is most afraid of:
The first one: lemon; it is a low-purine food (content 3.4mg/100g). Lemon is rich in vitamin C and citric acid (citric acid), which can promote hematopoiesis, aid digestion, and accelerate trauma recovery. The potassium citrate (potassium citrate) contained in it can alkalize urine and promote the excretion of uric acid, thereby inhibiting calcium salt crystallization and preventing high uric acid.
Potassium citrate (potassium citrate) is relatively common in the medical field. It can inhibit the formation of urate crystals, control uric acid stones, and is mainly used to alkalize urine. For example, the instructions for drugs such as sodium potassium hydrogen citrate and citric acid granules have relevant efficacy descriptions. In addition, the gout guidelines of several countries also mention that people whose urine pH is too low need to use citric acid to alkalize their urine.
Lemons have a sour taste, so you can process them into lemon juice yourself. It is best to drink lemon juice with water, without adding sugar or honey. Because sugar and honey contain fructose, fructose can cause uric acid to rise. Or you can look for lemon solid drinks containing potassium citrate. The potassium citrate content in these lemon solid drinks is relatively high, the effect is better than drinking lemon juice, and the taste is better than lemons, and it does not contain fructose.
The second type: cherries; they are low purine foods (content 0.9mg/100g). Quercetin and ellagic acid in cherries can inhibit tumor growth, while anthocyanins can reduce the incidence of gout. Cherries can also promote blood circulation, help the excretion of uric acid, and relieve the discomfort caused by high uric acid and gouty arthritis. Therefore, patients with high uric acid and gouty arthritis can eat a few cherries every day.
The third type: peaches; they are low purine foods (content 1.4mg/100g). Peaches contain more potassium citrate than sodium, which facilitates the excretion of uric acid, prevents the deposition of uric acid crystals, and can effectively prevent high uric acid levels. Peach kernels can activate blood circulation, treat abdominal pain, high blood pressure, etc. People with high uric acid and high blood pressure can also eat it.
Qingqing Er Su finally said that lemons do not contain sugar, so it is better to drink more water. Although cherries and peaches are helpful for uric acid, the sugar content of fruits is not low. It is not recommended to eat more. It is best to limit them to less than 100 grams per day. At the same time, it is recommended that everyone drink more water. You need to drink 4 bottles of mineral water every day. Drinking water can dilute uric acid and promote uric acid excretion in the urine.
