What should gout patients avoid during the Spring Festival?

The effect of seafood, offal and alcohol on gout is well known, and seafood and offal are high in purines, which can aggravate gout; The alcohol contained in various alcoholic beverages promotes the production of endogenous uric acid. As for beans, many people with gout have such a concept - gout patients can't eat legumes, the reason is naturally that the purine content is too high. Could it be that soy products and legumes are really a minefield for gout sufferers?

In fact, although the purine content of soybeans is slightly higher than that of lean meat and fish, after processing, after making shredded tofu, dried tofu, etc., because of the squeezing out of the "yellow syrup", a large part of the purines are dissolved, and the purine content has been greatly reduced, and its content is lower than that of meat and fish.

So is it safe to drink soy milk? Because soy milk contains oxalic acid and phytic acid, it is not good for the excretion of uric acid and the prevention of kidney stones, so it is not good to drink a lot of soy milk, especially on an empty stomach. Drink at most one drink when you don't have a gout flare-up, but don't put sugar in it.

In addition, the Chinese New Year's diet does not recommend people with gout to take any protein powder products, and do not eat snacks made of fried tofu and marinated. Do not drink delicious broth, chicken soup, fish soup, seafood soup, and hot pot soup, because this type of food is high in purines. Drink plenty of water, avoid sweet drinks, eat more vegetables, fruits, and grains, limit salt and cooking oil in the diet, and pay attention to controlling blood pressure and blood lipids.

Hope you can, Steward Kang.

The root cause of gout lies in hyperuricemia, so great attention should be paid to diet. As long as the blood uric acid level is controlled within the standard range for a long time through dietary control and drinking Fengcao tea conditioning, the urate crystals deposited in the joint cavity will gradually dissolve, and when it is dissolved, if the patient's blood uric acid level is still well controlled, no new crystals will be produced, and gout will hardly stop attacking.

So what can't you eat for gout?

1. Avoid drinking alcohol Alcohol in the body will be metabolized into lactic acid to affect the excretion of uric acid in the kidneys, and alcohol itself will promote the decomposition of ATP to produce uric acid, so patients must abstain from alcohol, especially beer is most likely to cause gout attacks, and should be absolutely prohibited. A small amount of red wine can be drunk when alcohol is necessary. There is no restriction on coffee and tea, and drinking plenty of water can promote uric acid excretion and avoid urinary tract stones.

2. Avoid high-purine foods (more than 150mg of purines per 100g of food).

All animal livers such as liver, kidney, brain, etc., pig intestines, thick gravy. Fish and shellfish: white barn fish, silver carp, hairtail, moray eel, sardines, oysters.

All shellfish, dried scallops, dried small fish, etc. Vegetables: bean sprouts, soybean sprouts, asparagus, seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, wild mushrooms, etc.

The second category of foods containing medium purines (25-150mg of purines per 100g of food) Meat: chicken, pork belly, beef, mutton, duck intestines, pig kidney, pig brain, meatballs. Fish and shrimp:

Grass carp, carp, shrimp, abalone, shark, carp, cod, grass carp, shark fin, crab. Vegetables: spinach, cabbage, wolfberry, green beans, peas, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, kelp, white fungus, peanuts, cashew nuts, chestnuts, lotus seeds.

3.Drink plenty of fluids.

Drink more than 2,000ml of water every day to increase urine output to facilitate the excretion of uric acid. Drink plenty of water within half an hour before meals and immediately after a full meal, which will dilute digestive juices and stomach acid, affect appetite and hinder digestive function. The best time to drink water is between meals, in the evening and early in the morning.

Evening refers to the period from 45 minutes after dinner to bedtime, and early morning refers to the period from waking up to 30 minutes before breakfast.

If there are any taboos for gout, gout patients should eat more low-purine foods, less medium-purine foods, no high-purine foods, and be careful not to drink alcohol. But many gout patients do not know which foods are high in purines and which are low in purines, and through the list of foods that cannot be eaten in gout, you can intuitively understand which ones we should eat more and which ones we should eat less.

Gout is caused by purine metabolism disorders, so gout patients should reduce the intake of high-purine foods and try not to eat such foods to avoid causing gout. The purine intake of gout patients is referred to as follows:

More than 150mg 100g is a high-purine food, and gout patients should not eat;

50 150mg 100g, medium purine food, gout patients should not eat in the acute stage;

Less than 50mg 100g, it is a low-purine food, and gout patients can eat it regularly.

In life, some foods are not suitable for gout patients to eat due to their high purine content and/or should not be eaten in the acute stage, as follows:

In addition to the above common foods that should not be eaten and should not be eaten in the acute stage, other common foods can be eaten at ordinary times. In addition, carbohydrates promote uric acid excretion, and patients can consume carbohydrate-rich rice, steamed buns, pasta, etc.

Protein is an essential nutrient for the human body, and it is easy to decline the body's function when the protein intake is insufficient, so you should take protein in moderation, such as milk, eggs, and you can also eat boiled meat, but you can not drink soup, because fat can reduce uric acid excretion, so you should eat less fatty foods, mainly vegetable oil, try to avoid the use of spicy pepper, curry, pepper, pepper, mustard, ginger and other food seasonings, with rice, noodles, chicken or draft eggs, milk and fresh vegetables as staple food.

The root cause of gout is excessive intake of high-purine food, resulting in high uric acid value in the body, which in turn causes gout, high-purine food generally exists in big fish and meat and all kinds of raw seafood, so gout is also known as the disease of wealth, in the past, this was a disease that only rich and noble people can get, but now everyone's living standard is good, it has become a common disease, of course, in the list of gout taboo foods, it is impossible to only have big fish and meat and raw seafood, it also includes the following types of food:

1. Offal and smoked cured meats.

Offal, smoked cured meat should be avoided as much as possible, ordinary meat needs to be controlled, if the blood uric acid is relatively stable, we can choose fresh lean meat (animal meat purines are smaller than poultry meat is smaller than fish and shrimp), the daily meat intake is recommended to be 50g 60g is appropriate.

2. Foods with high sugar content.

In addition to high-purine foods, we should also pay attention to foods with high sugar content, especially foods with high fructose content, excessive intake of fructose will lead to an increase in the substrate for the synthesis of purines, an increase in purine synthesis, and more uric acid production, and fructose burial will also inhibit the excretion of uric acid and further increase the uric acid content in the body.

3. Wine. It is recommended that patients with gout or high uric acid abstain from alcohol, not only beer, but also any alcohol intake will increase blood uric acid, and alcohol consumption is also one of the most common causes of gout attacks.

Strictly speaking, there is no standard list of foods to avoid for gout, everyone has subtle individual differences, so you need to customize your own list of foods to avoid eating for gout, and this requires frequent testing of your uric acid level (now it is more troublesome to go to the hospital, it is more convenient to use a reliable home uric acid meter such as a Sino uric acid meter for home testing), to confirm what foods will increase your uric acid and what foods are more friendly to your uric acid levels. Wide or.

First of all, patients with gout can not eat beef and mutton, but also try to eat less fish, such as hairtail, pomfret, sardines, these foods should be eaten less, it is recommended to eat more alkaline food, containing potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron and other trace elements of food, that is, the alkaline food, alkaline food it contains glucose, chestnut, grapes, tea, watermelon, persimmon, strawberry, banana, egg white, lemon, etc., these foods can be eaten more, and you can also drink more warm water to help the body metabolism.

Usually should also be appropriate exercise, so that can enhance their own immunity, and usually must pay attention to their own warmth, especially in winter, do not let yourself catch a cold or wear less in the cold winter, which is easy to lead to aggravation, usually if it is too cold can do some exercises indoors, such as doing some radio gymnastics or some yoga exercises, and must remember that patients with gout try to smoke less and drink less, so that it will be better for the body, It will also be better for the condition.

Gout should be on a low-purine diet.

First of all, the foods we often eat, such as soy products, seafood, beer, or animal offal, broth, etc., are very high in purine, so it is recommended that the intake of such foods should be strictly limited in the acute stage of gout, and the remission period can be appropriately released.

Second, it is recommended that patients with gout drink more water, generally speaking, if the kidney function and heart function are normal, it is recommended to drink at least 2000 ml of water every day, which can promote the excretion of uric acid, and at the same time, we can appropriately increase the intake of some alkaline foods in life, such as eating some sodium bicarbonate or drinking some soda, these foods can increase the solubility of uric acid in the urine, thereby promoting the excretion of uric acid.

1. The purine content of medium-purine food is 75 150mg per 100g of food.

Fish: carp, cod, halibut, perch, barracuda, mackerel, moray eel, yellow eel, etc.

Meat: smoked ham, pork, beef, beef tongue, veal, duck, pigeon, quail, pheasant, rabbit, lamb, venison, turkey, etc.

Others: shellfish, lentils, etc.

2. The purine content of high-purine food is 150 1000mg per 100g of food.

Pancreas, anchovies, sardines, beef liver, beef kidney, animal brain, gravy, pork intestine, pork belly.

Patients with gout should pay attention to limiting alcohol intake in their daily lives, especially beer. At the same time, pay attention to reducing the intake of high-purine foods such as animal offal, pork, beef, lamb, shellfish, anchovies, sardines, and tuna.

Avoid excessive consumption of smoked meat and avoid high-salt, high-fat diets. Salt intake should not exceed 6g per day, and fat intake should not exceed 30g per day. It is advisable to choose healthier oils. For example, vegetable oil is used instead of solid fat.

Gout should avoid beer, offal, fatty meat and other substances.

Gout foods to avoid are organ meats such as liver, kidneys, shellfish, oysters, lobsters, gravy, thick broth, alcohol, etc.

Patients with gout should maintain a healthy weight and limit the intake of high-purine animal foods in addition to receiving regular urate-lowering drugs**. Patients with gout should not eat animal liver, kidneys and other animal offal, shellfish, oysters, lobster and other shelled seafood, gravy and thick broth and other foods, and those with more serious conditions are strictly forbidden to drink alcohol; Foods that are restricted mainly include animal foods with high purine content such as beef, lamb and pork, fish, foods with high fructose and sucrose (sugary drinks, desserts, etc.), and alcohol.

Foods high in purines.

Gout is a disease caused by a disorder of purine metabolism, in which high levels of uric acid in the blood cause uric acid crystals to be deposited in the joints, resulting in painful inflammatory episodes in and around the joints.

Excessive levels of purines in meat, offal and some seafood (such as shellfish) can be broken down into uric acid by the body, and high levels of uric acid can be elevated when ingested in large quantities. Therefore, gout patients should avoid such foods. Especially offal and shellfish.

In addition, excessive alcohol intake is an independent risk factor for gout attacks. Beer contains a lot of purines, which have the highest risk of inducing gout. It should also be eaten sparingly or avoided.
