First of all, the gout patients to reduce the uric acid degree of the main points, just rely on drinking lemonade, tea or soda are not very useful, the correct way to reduce uric acid should be through dietary control, appropriate exercise, and then may be necessary to combine the use of uric acid medication, whether it's lemonade, tea or soda, you can be in the basis of the above measures to play a role in assisting in the treatment of the role of the.

What kind of water is the most effective for gout patients to reduce uric acid levels?

Lemon water

Lemon water is rich in citric acid, vitamin C and vitamin E. Although the citric acid in it makes lemon water taste sour and makes many people think that lemon water is acidic, it is actually alkaline for the body's pH level. Lemon is used as a fine flavoring to make beverages and dishes, cosmetics and medicines. In addition, lemon can dissolve phlegm and stop cough, and improve the stomach. Some studies have shown that lemon water can alkalize urine to a certain extent and has the effect of promoting uric acid excretion.

Soda water

is an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, alkaline, moderate drinking can also alkalize the urine, promote uric acid excretion, but excessive drinking may make the body acid-base balance imbalance, increase the risk of kidney stones. It must be reminded that soda has a certain role, but at the same time soda contains sodium and sugar, these 2 ingredients if the body intake is too much, respectively, can induce hypertension and diabetes, so pay attention to, after all, soda is not a drug, the role of a limited number of people must not be overly superstitious about some businesses advertised as a treatment of gout and the efficacy of the weight loss should be done to achieve the scientific drinking.

Tea

Tea is a very popular drink, some studies have shown that tea contains tea polyphenols, tea pigments and other substances have a certain role in lowering uric acid, and its mechanism both inhibit uric acid production, but also to promote uric acid excretion.

Theoretically, there are leaves of tea have a certain degree of uric acid effect, such as black tea, green tea, black tea. If you want to talk about specific types of tea, there have been studies, including Pu'er, Iron Goddess of Mercy, Mao Jian, oolong, etc., have shown some uric acid lowering effect, usually can choose to drink.

At the same time, usually more tea drinkers intake of water is naturally more, and then increase the amount of urine will also play a role in promoting the excretion of uric acid. However, it is important to note that even if drinking tea has the effect of reducing uric acid, but this effect is not strong, research shows that a larger dose of extracted tea polyphenols is needed to reduce uric acid in a short period of time. If you simply drink tea to lower uric acid may take several years or even longer to show results.

Which is more effective: lemonade, tea or soda?

If the role of purely from the promotion of uric acid excretion, I personally believe that the role of soda is still the best, because the role of soda alkalization of urine is clear, but also the strongest of these three drinks, but the market sale of soda due to the need to improve the taste may be added sugar, too much sugar instead of prompting the uric acid rise, but also offset the uric acid lowering effect of the soda, so should not be drunk more. However, if you are a hyperuricemia patient who also has kidney stones, lemonade may be more suitable.

The citrate in lemonade can prevent calcium from crystallizing in the kidneys to form stones, which has the effect of preventing kidney stones, and lemonade also has a certain diuretic effect, diuretic while promoting uric acid excretion. Tea's uric acid and prevention of kidney stones should be the weakest of the three, but in the case of patients can tolerate appropriate drinking is also possible. And then teach you a tip, in fact, three drinks are not in conflict, and can even be mixed to drink, for example, in lemonade properly add some baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), both increased alkalization of urine to promote the role of uric acid excretion, but also has a certain weight loss effect, a two-in-one effect.

Finally re-emphasize, do not rely too much on the above three drinks to reduce uric acid, lower uric acid is still mainly rely on diet, exercise and drug intervention to achieve, gout patients should follow the following principles: (1) quit smoking and alcohol; (2) reduce the intake of high-purine food; (3) to prevent strenuous exercise or sudden exposure to cold; (4) to reduce the intake of fructose-rich beverages; (5) a large number of drinking water (daily) 2000ml or more); (6) control weight; (7) increase the intake of fresh vegetables; (8) regular diet and rest; (9) regular exercise.
