What fruits can gout patients eat?

Gout is mainly a disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism, and fruits are basically low-purine foods.

Patients with gout are advised to take alkaline fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, oranges, grapefruits, grapes, kiwifruit, lemons, strawberries, etc., and alkaline vegetables such as tomatoes, bitter gourds, cucumbers, cabbage, black fungus, pumpkin, peppers, garlic, etc. Drink plenty of water every day, more than 2000 ml, to speed up urination and promote urine excretion.

Reduce the intake of high-purine foods, such as animal offal, seafood, soy products, and avoid strong tea and coffee.

Patients with gout should have a strict diet and generally avoid high-purine diets, such as animal offal, sardines, crabs and other purine-rich foods. Foods with moderate amounts of purines include fish, shrimp, meat, peas, spinach. Fruits contain less purine components, so for patients with gout can eat fruits, such as apples, pears, oranges, oranges, lemons, grapes, etc., as well as vegetables including various melons, winter melon, cucumber, bitter gourd, pumpkin, etc., patients should pay attention to drinking more water, especially boiled water, to promote the excretion of uric acid, and at the same time to avoid excessive fatigue, tension, improve lifestyle, quit smoking and alcohol, for gout are beneficial.

The diet of gout patients should avoid high purines and focus on low purines, so low purines should also be chosen in fruits and vegetables. But fruits are usually low in purines, so most fruits can be eaten by gout patients, such as apples, grapes, kiwifruit, etc. The fruit is recommended to be consumed half an hour before a meal and should not be excessive.

Vegetables such as potatoes and winter melons can be eaten by gout patients, as long as animal liver, soy products, beer and other foods high in purines can be avoided.

Like vegetables, cauliflower and spinach, because of the high purine content, try to eat less. Legume; Like snow peas and green beans, eat less, and fruits can be eaten with confidence. Cherries, in particular, have been shown to have a definite uric acid-lowering effect.

What fruits can you eat for gout, I will make it clear to you at one time. Many patients with high uric acid often only focus on the purine content in food, and it is easy to ignore the sugar content in food, especially fructose. Fructose also has a strong impact on uric acid levels.

One is to lead to an increase in the production of uric acid, fructose will consume a large amount of adenosine triphosphate for metabolism after ingestion into the body, and the metabolites of adenosine triphosphate contain uric acid, which will increase the production of exogenic uric acid in the body.

The second is that it can lead to a decrease in uric acid excretion. When fructose is ingested into the body, it may cause insulin resistance and reduce the excretion of uric acid from the kidneys.

Therefore, we recommend that patients have fruits with a relatively low fructose content. For example, black mold, tree mold, strawberry, mulberry, raspberry and other moldy fruits. It does not have much effect on blood uric acid levels, and common cherries, watermelons, pomegranates, melons, oranges and pears can be used in moderation by people with hyperuricemia.

However, dragon fruit, hawthorn, ginseng fruit, persimmon, raisins, dried apricots, its fructose content is very high, and if ingested into the body, it will have a certain adverse effect on blood uric acid.

Gout can not eat acidic fruits. Acidic fruits such as bayberry, plum, plum, etc., acidic fruits contain tannins, which will coagulate with protein when eaten with seafood.

Whether a food is acidic or alkaline cannot be identified by the body's sense of taste alone. We can't simply think that sour food is acidic, and the taste is alkaline, so we can easily take lemons, oranges, apples and other sour fruits as acidic food, in fact, they are alkaline.

If you want to distinguish whether food is acidic or alkaline, you can't judge it by chemical pH test strip measurement, nor can you judge it by taste, let alone life experience. The pH of a food depends on the type and amount of minerals contained in the food.
