What should I eat for high uric acid in gout?
What should I eat for high uric acid in gout?
In order to prevent the recurrence of gout, doctors often tell patients to eat less or not to eat the diet that can easily induce gout, such as meat, seafood, old fire soup, fish, mushrooms, fish and tofu, alcohol ...... Many patients say, "I don't even know what I can eat when I have gout!" There are also concerns that prolonged dietary control may lead to malnutrition. In order for gout members not to daily "monk diet", today let us directly tell you what you can eat it.

The key to a scientific diet for gout patients is a "low purine diet".So what is a low purine diet? It is of course a diet based on low purine foods (containing less than 25mg of purine per 100g). (Also: medium purine food refers to the purine content of 25~150mg per 100 grams of food; high purine food refers to the purine content of more than 150mg per 100 grams of food). For patients with high uric acid and goutLow-purine foods are safe to enjoy; medium-purine foods are recommended to be eaten sparingly, especially during an acute gout attack; and high-purine foods should be avoided!
Doctors usually tell patients not to eat meat and seafood because the average purine content of meat and seafood is high. Another way to put it is that not all meat and seafood are high purine foods, but there are also low purine meats and low purine seafood, as shown in the table below:
Reference table for meats with low and medium purine content
Medium and low purine content seafood reference table
For livestock and seafood foods that don't appear in the table above are basically high purine foods, such as most animal offal, so please eat with caution. It has to be reminded that even the foods in the above table should be consumed in the right amounts. As you can see, most meat and seafood are medium purine foods, which is one of the reasons why most doctors advise their patients to try not to eat meat and seafood.
Also today, I want to talk to you about other gout diet myths:
Myth 1: You can't eat beans and soy products
Gout sufferers often go online and search for dietary contraindications for hyperuricemia or gout. Are you one of them? Have you seen the words "Gout patients are prohibited from eating beans and soy products"? I saw it! In fact, this is a long time ago, because beans and soy products belong to the purine (per 100g of beans contain 29.7mg purine), but also the so-called "hair", so it is regarded as gout contraindicated food. However, studies have shown that the consumption of peas, lentils and beans is not significantly associated with the development of gout [1, 2], and the total intake of soybean products (including soymilk) is also negatively associated with the prevalence of hyperuricemia [3-5]. The main reason is that on the one hand, beans in the fruit and vegetable category, although rich in purine, but can have a pro-uric acid excretion substances; and soy products deeper in the production process will lose a large number of purine. Therefore, beans and bean products are edible.
Myth 2: Can I eat vegetables that are also high in purines?
Indeed, there are high purine foods in vegetables, such as shiitake mushrooms, which contain 214.5mg of purine per 100g, surprisingly higher than animal offal such as pig liver and beef liver. However, plant-based high purine does not need to limit intake. Recent studies have shown that there is no significant difference between high-purine and low-purine vegetables in elevating blood uric acid levels, and that eating purine-rich vegetables does not increase blood uric acid levels or the incidence of gout [5, 6]. This may be related to the fact that eating large amounts of vegetables alkalizes the urine, thereby promoting uric acid excretion [6]. Is this once again turning your dietary views upside down?
Myth 3: Some people say that milk is "hairy", so can I drink it?
It is actually recognized that gout patients can consume milk. And milk is also a major source of protein for gout sufferers.
In addition to this, it has been shown that dairy products reduce blood uric acid levels and the risk of gout, especially low-fat dairy products, which is related to the saturated fatty acids contained in them counteracting the uric acid-lowering effect [7].
After reading this article, did you find that life is still full of sunshine! In conclusion, gout diet depends on moderation, and it is vital to keep your mouth shut.
Thanks for the invite!
Dietary principles for patients with hyperuricemia and gout are:Reducing purine intake in food reduces sources of uric acid, increases uric acid excretion, and reduces the frequency and extent of acute attacks preventing complications.
The so-called food that can be eaten with confidence is low purine content, conducive to the control of the disease, Wei Wei summarized:
1. All kinds of vegetables: most of the purine content of vegetables are not high, but the following kinds need to pay attention to.Don't eat more: golden broccoli, bamboo shoots, silver fungus, garlic cloves, garlic scapes, enoki mushrooms, monkey head mushrooms, porcini mushrooms;
And these are the kinds of things that are going toMinimize or eliminate: bean sprouts, asparagus, soybean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, lentils
2. All kinds of eggs: eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, etc. are very low purine content of food, you can eat.
3. Milk and dairy products: milk, goat's milk, cheese and other purine content is very low, you can rest assured to eat; yogurt and soy milk to be a little more careful, do not intake too much to see, but half a catty a day is no problem at all!
4. Staple food: other than fried instant noodlesVarious types of rice and noodle products, rice noodles, vermicelli, vermicelli, etc. are all low purine foods.The food can be consumed safely, but it is not recommended for gouty people to consume staple foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar, as they will affect metabolism and aggravate obesity, so in the spirit of healthy dietary principlesDon't consume too much fried food, refined grains; in addition, such asWhole grains such as oats, brown rice, barley, millet and buckwheat can be safely consumedbut (not)black riceas well asVarious colors of mixed beans such as green beans, black beans, soybeans, red beans, etc.Instead, eat small amounts and do not consume too much at once.
5. Fruit: Although a variety of fruits containing purines are very low, but because many fruits contain fructose, and fructose will inhibit uric acid metabolism, so you can not consume too much, half a catty per day.
6. Soy products:Soymilk, green peas, beans, kidney beans, and kidney beans are very low in purines and can be safely consumed.While soybeans, soybean sprouts, natto beans, fava beans are avoided because of their high purine content; tofu, tempeh, dried tofu, soybean skin, etc. can be consumed in small quantities and need not be strictly limited.
7. Meat products: exceptLean beef, animal bloodLimit intake of all meat products other than.
8. All kinds of nuts and dried fruits: can be safely eaten, but to avoid types with high salt content, gout patients exist a certain degree of metabolic disorders, it is very easy to pay attention to lead to kidney damage, and high blood pressure will also damage the kidneys, so to ensure that a low-salt diet.
9. Condiments: Gout patients should eat a light diet and reduce the intake of chicken essence, oyster sauce, caviar and seafood sauce.
I hope my answer can help you! Welcome to Nutritional Wei Wei Dawai~!
Gout high uric acid first at home to cook their own meals, try not to eat out. Secondly, choose foods containing low purine, try not to eat seafood, meat skin, hot pot and other high purine foods. Thirdly, vegetable oil consumption is controlled at about 20 grams per day, salt is controlled at less than 6 grams, increase protein intake appropriately, lean meat 100 ∽ 150 grams per day, about 300 grams of milk. The fourth ton of fresh vegetables, not less than 500 grams per day, more than 3 kinds. Every day to eat fruit, not less than 300 grams per day, more than 2 kinds. The fifth staple food diversification, staple food every day about 300 grams. Try not to eat stimulating food. Sixth, drink about 3000 milliliters of water per day, mainly plain water and light tea.
Can I just say, drink all the water you want?
A lot of people say that the dishes are random. But no dish can directly reduce the three highs or reduce the four highs. To lower uric acid as well as reduce hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia need dietary control plus a healthy lifestyle, can not control the need for drug intervention.
There is no such thing as a dish that directly reduces uric acid. Of course, the reduced intake of high-purine foods will help to reduce uric acid to some extent, and a low-purine diet is certainly also good for uric acid reduction, but none of them can do so directly.
Hyperuricemia belongs to the basic metabolic diseases, poor uric acid metabolism and excessive purine intake are the two main underlying causes of high uric acid. In the human body, 80% of the uric acid is produced by the metabolism of autologous nucleic acids, only 20% of the uric acid is converted from purines ingested in external food, but dietary control is always the first task to improve the high uric acid value.
Let's start with what to eat more of.
1, drink more water drink more white water, hyperuricemia patients can pay attention to drinking water every day at least 2500ml~3000ml, drink more water can promote urination, more can dilute the uric acid in the blood, drink a glass of water before going to bed, but also can reduce the chances of acute gout attack at night.
2,Low purine diet It is recommended to eat more low purine and diuretic vegetables, such as winter melon, bitter melon, white radish, etc.In addition, "Job's tears, watermelon, corn" are also good choices. Vegetables such as dietary fiber-rich sweet potatoes, celery, squash, etc., as well as cold lettuce, bitter melon, bitter chrysanthemum, etc., fruits such as grapefruit, dragon fruit, kiwi, bananas, etc., have a good laxative effect, to ensure that the normal defecation every day can also ensure that, in addition to urine, other excess uric acid discharge. There are also many low purine vegetables.
Again, control and reduction: 1,Reduce the intake of high-purine foods High-purine foods such as shellfish and seafood, animal offal, and hot pot soup should be avoided as much as possible.; Some patients with acute gout, indeed, because of the frequent consumption of soy products triggered, therefore, for such food should be controlled or not, need to be further discussed, if it is high uric acid for the time being to control the intake of the first.
2,give up smoking and drinkingAfter alcohol enters the body, the process of metabolism will take up a lot of water in the blood, so that the concentration of uric acid in the blood is greatly increased, so that the value of blood uric acid becomes high, so that after a large amount of alcohol consumption, it is often induced acute gout. And smoking is the first factor in the occurrence of metabolic syndrome, so smokers, too, are more likely to have poor metabolism of uric acid.
3,Weight control Control of high-sugar foods: Although sugar metabolism does not produce uric acid, but high sugar foods and drinks contain high calories, will promote the human body to gain weight, obese people occur in high uric acid is much higher than the chance of normal weight people. Down not to mention that you can't control uric acid just by eating the natural enemy of high uric acid!
Here, I would like to remind you once again that the prevention of gout starts with the prevention of elevated uric acid, and the prevention of elevated uric acid suggests a low-purine diet, less animal offal, seafood, and beer; quit smoking; and do more exercise and drink more water. Eat less of the good stuff and more grass!

Gout patients pay more attention to diet, once met a gout patient on the train, they carry a piece of paper, which is densely recorded which food can not be eaten, before eating have to read through. For gout patients and hyperuricemia patients, what food can be eaten safely?
One of the important features of gout is high uric acid, and how is uric acid produced? One is endogenous and the other exogenous. Endogenous sources of uric acid account for 80% of total uric acid, and exogenous sources of uric acid account for 20% of total uric acid; endogenous uric acid is derived from amino acids, nucleotides and other small molecules synthesized and metabolized by nucleic acids in the body. Exogenous uric acid, on the other hand, comes from foods rich in purines or nucleoproteins; purines are metabolized in the liver to produce uric acid. Although exogenous sources of uric acid account for only 20% of the total amount of uric acid, they are often the last straw that breaks the camel's back, which is one of the reasons why many gout sufferers experience gout attacks after overeating.
For gout patients, the choice of food needs attention, limiting the intake of food containing more purines, daily purine intake <150mg; according to the severity of the gout condition, the patient can formulate recipes in accordance with the following principles: choose the first type of food in the acute stage, the patient drinks a total of no less than 3,000 milliliters of liquid per day. In the period of remission, the third type of food should be prohibited, the second type of food should be chosen in limited quantity, and the first type of food should be chosen freely. Cooking methods have an effect on purines in food, such as meat boiled, only eat meat, do not drink soup, which can reduce the intake of purines.
Foods with a purine content of less than 50mg/100g are safe to eat for gout sufferers and those with hyperuricemia.
Cereals and potatoes: rice, millet, rice flour, glutinous rice, barley, wheat, buckwheat, enriched flour, flour, macaroni, noodles, pasta, bread, steamed bread, cereals, white potatoes, potatoes, taro.
Vegetables: Bok choy, cabbage, mustard greens, celery, bok choy leaves, cabbage, kale, coriander, leeks, cucumber, bitter gourd, winter squash, pumpkin, squash, zucchini, cauliflower, eggplants, bean sprouts, peppers, radishes, carrots, onions, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, sauerkraut, pickles, scallions, ginger, garlic, water chestnuts.
Fruits: oranges, tangerines, apples, pears, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, bananas, apple juice, jellies, dried fruit, sugar, syrups, jams.
Eggs and dairy: eggs, duck eggs, skinned eggs, milk, milk powder, cheese, yogurt, condensed milk.
Nuts and others: pig's blood, pig skin, sea cucumber, jellyfish skin, seaweed, red dates, raisins, fungus, honey, melon seeds, almonds, chestnuts, lotus seeds, peanuts, walnuts, peanut butter, goji berries, tea, coffee, sodium bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), chocolate, cocoa, oils and fats (limited use).
In recent years, as the standard of living improves, we will find that there are more and more people around who suffer from gout. Many people have high uric acid, in which diet has a great influence!
Control your mouth. Choose your ingredients.
1. Drink more water and less soup:
In clinical studies, it has been found that the osmotic pressure of plain water is most conducive to dissolving various harmful substances in the body. Therefore, gout patients should pay attention to more intake of boiled water to help dilute uric acid, accelerate uric acid excretion, so as to promote the uric acid level down as soon as possible.
2. Limit high purine diet
Animal offal such as liver and kidneys, seafood with armor such as shellfish, oysters and lobsters, and thick broths and gravies should be avoided. Foods high in purines should be minimized, these include: meat ~ especially red meat and animal offal, seafood ~ especially shellfish, shrimp and crab, caviar, etc.; yeast-containing foods or beverages - such as beer.
3. Eat more vegetables Most vegetables do not contain purine or low purine, and some vegetables can also play a diuretic role, so gout patients in general can eat more vegetables.
4. Limit or avoid drinking alcohol Alcohol can stimulate the liver to produce uric acid while interfering with the kidneys' removal of uric acid, especially beer, so it is recommended to prohibit all alcohol if you already have gout.
5. Fat intake should be limited Obesity, itself will cause a variety of diseases, for gout patients, too much fat will lead to metabolic disorders, hindering the kidney excretion of uric acid function. Therefore, gout patients facing high-fat food, must hold their mouths, try to meat and vegetables, and maintain enough exercise to adjust their metabolic function to the best state.
To control the level of uric acid in the body, you must control your mouth and try to choose foods with low purine content and low to medium purine content to minimize the harm. Gout sufferers should also drink plenty of water to metabolize uric acid through the kidneys, and reduce alcohol intake to control their diet in all aspects.

Hyperuricemia and gout belong to the same metabolic diseases, closely related to purine metabolism disorders, and their treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor, to actively improve the lifestyle, and reasonable use of medication, in order to stabilize the control of the condition, to reduce the occurrence of related complications, and to improve the quality of life.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, for gout and hyperuricemia patients, their daily diet is even more deeply concerned. In the daily diet should pay attention to limit the intake of high purine, high fructose and alcohol-containing food, to choose low purine food.
Patients with gout and hyperuricemia should pay attention to the following in their daily diet: ① do not eat animal offal, shelled seafood and broths; ② eat less but not no animal meat, fish, beans and their products; ③ try not to drink alcohol, fruit juices, colas and other fructose-rich beverages; ④ encourage the consumption of fresh vegetables, low-fructose fruits, coarse grains, etc.; ⑤ drink plenty of water, more than 2,000 ml per day, preferably plain water; ⑥ encourage the choice of Low-fat or skimmed milk and its products; ⑦ Eat one egg a day.
We should pay attention to diet, but also pay attention to appropriate exercise, weight control, keep warm, regular rest and maintain a good state of mind. And need to be under the guidance of the doctor reasonable use of medication, which gout acute stage, should be actively anti-inflammatory pain relief, remission period attention to lower uric acid medication. We should also pay attention to monitoring the changes of the condition and regular review while standardizing the treatment.

For patients with gout and hyperuricemia, diet has some important implications for the impact of blood uric acid levels and the development of the disease, and many of my friends are also more concerned about the relevant dietary considerations, and often see a lot of dietary advice on gout and hyperuricemia, theToday, we give you a summary of dietary recommendations for gout and high uric acid patients, with reference to the 2017 edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Patients with Hyperuricemia and Gout, authoritatively released by the Health Planning Commission.
Recommendation 1: Choice of Staple Foods
The total energy of staple food accounts for 50-60% of the whole day, limiting the intake of added sugar, it is advisable to choose low GI food, and whole grains account for more than 30% of the amount of staple food.
That is to say, in the choice of staple food, replace 1/3 of the white rice and white flour we are used to eating with coarse grains. Coarse grains are high in potassium, magnesium, B vitamins, and dietary fiber, which are beneficial for gout and high uric acid patients to control weight and promote uric acid excretion.
Recommendation 2: On vegetables and fruits
Adequate amount of fresh vegetables, up to 500 grams or more per day.
Fruits are not mentioned individually in the guidelines, and it is generally recommended that fruit choices low in sugar are preferred, and intake of up to 250 grams is appropriate. Vegetables and fruits are major sources of vitamins and minerals that contribute to blood uric acid levels and clinical outcomes in people with gout and high uric acid.
Tip:Small part of the vegetables in the oxalic acid and purine content is high (spinach, asparagus, etc.), each time to control the 100 grams of about the problem is not too big or eat before heating blanching, oxalic acid and purine have a very good soluble water.
Recommendation 3: On fish, meat, eggs and milk
Eggs, 1 egg per day, skimmed or low-fat dairy and its products, 300 ml per day.
Many studies have confirmed that people with gout and high uric acid do not need to be afraid of milk, milk has a positive effect on uric acid levels to assist in lowering the characteristics of the reminder, yogurt is not recommended to ingest, or drink a small amount of it, because the purine content of yogurt is higher than that of milk and the lactic acid in it affects the excretion of uric acid.
Meat does need to be limited in quantity, especially during an acute attack of gout, common poultry and livestock meat purine content in the medium level, while fish is not completely inedible, you can choose some medium purine content of fish to eat, to avoid the acute attack period. The total intake of meat and fish is not recommended to exceed 100 grams.
Recommendation 4: Foods to be restricted
- High purine foods need to be avoided and medium purine foods limited.
- Refusal of Alcohol
- Avoid high sugar drinks, desserts, and other foods with high added sugar content.
Additions to the above:
- Drink enough water, more than 2000ml per day, you can drink light tea and coffee in moderation.
- Shredded tofu and dried tofu in soy products have reduced purine content and can be consumed in small amounts. (Replacement of total fish)
- Maintain a reasonable weight, especially obese patients should actively control their weight, but does not recommend rapid weight loss, reasonable diet control healthy and slow weight reduction.
- Moderate exercise, generally do not recommend strenuous exercise, jogging, brisk walking and other simple and easy to adhere to the more recommended.
- Regularly monitor blood uric acid levels and work with your doctor to rationalize medication if necessary.

The above is about gout and hyperuricemia people's dietary advice and lifestyle advice, which requires long-term persistence, it can be difficult to adapt to the beginning, and slowly develop good habits on the promotion of health is their own can be felt.Our aim is to control uric acid levels and reduce the risk of gouty attacks in patients with hyperuricemia, and to reduce the number of attacks and the risk of complications in patients with gout.
Other health science about gout and people with high uric acid can also be found in the questions I answered earlier.
Thanks for reading, I hope this helps.
Friends with a history of gout and have had an acute attack, often eat with "caution and trepidation", because gout attacks are too painful. Some people feel that they can't eat anything when they have gout.
In order to avoid elevated uric acid and gout attacks, gout sufferers do need to abstain from a lot of foods, the significance of which is mainly to reduce the risk of attacks and to slow down the progression of joint damage, while the core treatment has to rely on medications.
For gout patients, most of the foods in category 4 are safe to consume except for honey.
1. Staple foods
Rice, white flour, millet, corn, potatoes, etc.
Dietary guidelines recommend that adults consume 250-400 grams of cereals and potatoes per day, including 50-150 grams of whole grains and mixed legumes; and 50-100 grams of potatoes.
White rice and white flour purine content is low, can be safely eaten; coarse grains in millet, corn and other miscellaneous grains of purine content and rice, white flour is comparable, and B vitamins, potassium content is also higher than the white rice and white flour, with part of the millet, corn instead of refined grains, is very conducive to gout and hyperuricemia patients. Patients with gout need to limit miscellaneous legumes during acute attacks.
Potatoes, taro, sweet potatoes and other potatoes are very low in purine content, high starch content, can replace part of the white rice, white flour as a staple food.
2. Vegetables
Vegetables are in the "low" and "very low" purine categories, making them a safe and important ingredient for gout and hyperuricemia patients. The recommended daily intake is 750 grams or more, preferably 1000 grams or more.
Winter melon, cucumber, tomato, lettuce and other water-rich, low-calorie, diuretic vegetables can be eaten without fear. Dark leafy green vegetables purine content is higher than winter melon cucumber, but its nutritional value (rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium content) is very high, consuming them is far more beneficial than harmful, gout patients should also be sufficient intake, about 300 grams per day. It should be noted that the green leafy vegetables in the cooking should be used to boil, blanch and other methods, which can further reduce its purine content, astringent vegetables, but also significantly reduce its oxalic acid content, to avoid oxalic acid interference with uric acid excretion and the formation of kidney stones.
Just limit the total amount of mushrooms and vegetables, and don't be afraid to put a few fungus or a few slices of shiitake mushrooms in your cooking.However, thick mushroom soup, thick mushroom soup and the like should not be consumed.
3. Fruits
Fruits are very low in purines, and although many contain glucose and fructose, they are also rich in organic acids, dietary fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals, making them suitable for consumption and beneficial to gout sufferers. About half a pound a day is enough, but you need to be careful not to choose fruit juice.
4. Milk
Milk is very low in purines, and epidemiologic surveys have shown that men who drink more than two glasses of skim milk a day have a nearly 50 percent lower risk of gout compared to men who drink almost no milk;
Skimmed milk can drink more, you can drink a pound and a half a day; but yogurt to limit, because of which by microbial fermentation, purine content is elevated a lot, and lactic acid will also interfere with uric acid discharge, so yogurt can only be consumed in small quantities.
5. Eggs
Eggs are very low purine foods and can be safely consumed by gout sufferers. If you have normal blood lipids, you can eat two eggs a day when limiting meat, and if you are concerned about cholesterol, one egg yolk a day is sufficient, and you can have a few more egg whites.
6. Beans
The analysis of the pros and cons of soy for gout patients is more complex. On balance, foods such as tofu, dried tofu, and shredded tofu, which have been partially purified and have decreased purine and oxalic acid content, can be included in the diets of patients with hyperuricemia if they are consumed in limited quantities and substituted for fish as a source of dietary protein supplementation, but given that it temporarily elevates blood uric acid levels postprandially.It should still be avoided during acute attacks.
7. Drink plenty of water
It can promote uric acid discharge, more than 2000ml per day to promote uric acid discharge. Drinking plain water, light tea can be. But need to pay attention to try to avoid drinking sweet drinks, honey water.
8. Fish and meat in strict limits
Fish and meat that are not very high in purines can be consumed in moderation during gout remission, not exceeding 50 grams of fish, or 50 grams of meat per day.
Food choices during an acute attack of gout
During an acute gouty attack, only milk, eggs, refined rice and noodles, millet, corn, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and plenty of water should be used, and all meat and purine-rich foods should be prohibited (prohibit foods of categories 1, 2 and 3, and choose foods of category 4 at will).
In addition gout sufferers should abstain from alcohol, high fat food intake, and sweets including sweet drinks and honey.

Whether it is gout or high uric acid, it can be said that the modern population is particularly terrible chronic disease; gout is mainly refers to the high concentration of uric acid in the blood after the formation of crystals in the joints around the joints of a kind of inflammation, the onset of the pain is particularly intense.
Diet is one of the most important things for gout. A reliable diet will not cure gout, but it can lower the level of uric acid in the blood, in addition to lowering the risk of gout attacks and slowing down joint damage at the same time.
For people with high uric acid and gout, what shouldn't gout sufferers eat?
Some foods are too high in purine substances and gout sufferers are advised to consume such foods sparingly, this includes but is not limited to foods such as animal offal, scallops, beef, tuna, yeast, beer, soda, and so on.
It is worth noting that the Chinese diet, often eat those animal offal, such as heart, liver, brain and other parts of the purine material is very high, it is recommended that both in the attack patients gout remission should be avoided. This also includes some meat food, pork, beef and lamb, aquatic products in the purine substances are very high, pay attention to reduce the amount of intake, it is recommended that the daily consumption of animal protein should be 110-170 grams of the best.
How should people with gout and high uric acid eat?
First.It is recommended to eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains in daily life, which can provide sufficient carbohydrate substances, which should reduce the intake of ordinary white bread, refined sugar, and cake foods.
Secondly.For gout patients, if we are talking about limiting the consumption of meat, it is particularly important for the source of protein, so it is recommended that gout patients should consume plant protein substances in moderation in their lives.
Drink lots of water:
Increasing the amount of water you drink can help control the symptoms of chronic gout. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, up to 2,000 milliliters per day, and please avoid carbonated beverages that contain more sugar.
Limit alcohol consumption:
Alcohol in all kinds of alcohol can affect the elimination of purine substances in the body, increasing the risk of gout, it is recommended that people who have already suffered from gout should abstain from alcohol, and the rest of the population should pay attention to the appropriate.
Fruits are one food that gout patients can safely eat, but proper care needs to be taken:
You can eat it, but you can't take in too much at once, especially some of the sweeter fruits, and keep it under half a pound.
Fruit juices are not recommended; they are high in sugar and should be avoided.
Vegetables among the purine substances belong to the plant purine substances, almost no effect on the human body, for the purine substance content of high bean sprouts, cauliflower, asparagus and other foods can be eaten.
Both gout and high uric acid people are real-life people who should go for attention and eat and drink reliably to avoid damage.
