In addition, pumpkin seeds belong to nut foods, and the calorie content of oil in nut foods is relatively high, which is a food that should not be eaten more. Not only patients with high uric acid and gout need to control the amount, but the general population should also control the amount.
It is recommended that the daily intake of pumpkin seeds should be about 10g, with a small handful. Dietary guidelines recommend that the daily intake of nuts should be controlled within 10g. It is naturally better to add more kinds of nuts to eat, such as cashew nuts, almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts. Their nutrition can complement each other and be more beneficial to human health.
Pumpkin seed is a kind of food with high nutritional value. 100g pumpkin seed can provide 102mg of potassium, 16mg of calcium and 2mg of magnesium. The prominent components are iron, zinc and copper. The zinc content in pumpkin seed is very rich, and it is found in many tissues, such as bones, muscles and so on.
In addition, the eyeball and prostatic fluid are indispensable for zinc, so there are often reports that pumpkin seeds are good for men's health, mainly because it is beneficial to regulate prostate function.
Zinc deficiency is harmful to our health, such as anorexia in children, decreased immune function and slow growth and development. Pumpkin seeds are also rich in vitamin E, a very rich fatty acid.
Daily intake of pumpkin seeds has little effect on serum uric acid;
Pumpkin seed belongs to a kind of nut food. Nut food is characterized by high content of minerals and fat-soluble vitamins, but it is high in oil and calories. It is not recommended to eat too much every day.
Dietary guidelines recommend that the daily intake of nuts should be controlled at about 10g, which is about a handful, or 8 almonds, 0/0 cashews and 0/3 peanuts. We usually like to eat 25g of nuts every day, except for the dried fruits and candied fruit of about 10g.
Pumpkin seeds or other melon seeds are almost the weight of grabbing (not too hard to grab). If you only take about 10g daily, the purine obtained from pumpkin seeds is not too much, which is acceptable for patients with high uric acid and gout.
Many friends refuse to eat nuts, thinking that nuts are high in fat and heat. In fact, most fatty acids in nuts are unsaturated fatty acids, which are more beneficial than saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids obtained from fat and fried foods.
They can synthesize the structure of cerebral cortex, retina and cell membrane, and also help to strengthen and benefit the brain, improve serum cholesterol and prevent cell inflammation. Eating nuts properly is a good choice.
Patients with high uric acid and gout will naturally worry about the amount of purine ingested from food, but purine ingested from plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables and nuts, has much less influence on our uric acid than animal foods, so long as we don't overeat with our doors open, we don't have to worry too much.
Moreover, the purine in human body is similar to cholesterol, which is exogenous and endogenous. The purine ingested in exogenous food only accounts for about 20% of the total purine, while the endogenous purine secreted by itself accounts for 80%. In addition to paying attention to diet to control the intake of purine, we should also take medicine reasonably and exercise actively to improve our physical stability and endocrine.
Effects of purine intake in food on human body;
In fact, there are similarities between purine and cholesterol ingested from food. Purine ingested from food can be called "exogenous purine", which accounts for only about 20% of the total purine, while endogenous purine, that is, purine synthesized and secreted by ourselves, accounts for the bulk of the total purine.
Therefore, in addition to paying attention to foreign purine intake, it is more important to regulate the stability of our endogenous purine, which is related to many factors, such as our own endocrine stability, physical health, life schedule, daily diet and genetic factors.
It is best for us to adhere to good daily habits, eating habits and exercise habits. Most endogenous purines release nucleosides due to cell aging and apoptosis, while synthetic purines, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, will appear in our bodies, and uric acid will rise extremely.
Therefore, maintaining a healthy body and strong metabolic ability are the primary conditions for preventing hyperuricemia; Metabolic ability can also increase uric acid excretion, and urine can bring out part of uric acid, which helps to stabilize uric acid.
In addition, there is no need to worry too much about purines in plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables and nuts, which have less impact on human body than animal purines.
Some studies have found that if patients with high uric acid eat enough "high purine vegetables" every day, compared with patients with high uric acid who eat less vegetables every day, the probability of gout will drop by 27%. In short, pay more attention to the purine content in animal foods, and there is no need to worry too much about the impact of normal consumption of plant foods on patients with high uric acid/gout.
Proper intake of pumpkin seeds is very beneficial to the human body and has a very good effect on patients with high uric acid/gout. It is best to choose pumpkin seeds with a relatively small degree of processing. Many nuts have many processing procedures, and many related ingredients such as sucrose, salt and monosodium glutamate may be added.
However, some data claim that pumpkin seeds can resist cancer and reduce the three highs, which exaggerates the efficacy of pumpkin seeds. Many experiments on the efficacy of pumpkin seeds are mostly carried out in animal experiments and in vitro experiments, so we should treat the efficacy of pumpkin seeds rationally.
