Gout is a chronic disease caused by the increase of uric acid. About 80% of uric acid in the body comes from the decomposition of cells in the body or its own synthesis. Purine comes from nucleic acids in cells, and uric acid is the metabolite of purine. Some drugs, diseases, alcohol, congenital enzyme deficiency and other reasons will lead to the disorder of uric acid metabolism in this way in the body, leading to the increase of uric acid production or the decrease of uric acid excretion, which will lead to the increase of blood uric acid. The remaining 20% uric acid comes from foods rich in purine in the diet.

Therefore, long-term high purine diet is only one of the factors leading to hyperuricemia or gout. Gout patients are usually accompanied by obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver and other chronic diseases. Long-term bad life and diet (big fish and big meat, heavy drinking, eating more and moving less, etc.) are the important reasons for the uric acid metabolic disorder and other complications in the body!

The dietary patterns are generally divided into three categories: high purine, medium purine and low purine. Don't take too much purine in daily life, which will lead to gout attack. We should properly choose foods with low purine to control the excessive growth of uric acid.

Attached below is a purine numerical table.

Low purine food. Hypopurine food refers to food containing less than 25mg of purine per100g of food.

1) staple food: refined rice flour and its products (bread, cakes, biscuits, etc.), various starches, sorghum, potatoes, sweet potatoes, macaroni, etc.
