The cause of gout is excessive production of uric acid in the body or reduced renal excretion of uric acid, which causes elevated uric acid in the blood and deposits in the joints, subcutaneous tissues, kidneys and other parts of the body, causing arthritis attacks, subcutaneous uric acid stones, kidney stones or uric acid nephropathy. Healthy diet Reducing the intake of purine-rich foods is important in the prevention and treatment of gout. Daily foods are classified into three categories: high, medium and low according to their purine content, and high purine foods should be contraindicated in both acute and remission patients. In addition to avoiding high purine foods, it is also important to maintain an ideal body weight. If you are obese or overweight, you should reduce your weight appropriately. Adhere to the three low diets, i.e. low-calorie, low-fat and low-salt diet, and develop the good habit of having three meals a day at regular intervals and not eating snacks. In order to ensure nutrition without affecting blood uric acid, two eggs and one bottle of milk, or one egg and two bottles of milk can be eaten daily, together with appropriate amount of vegetables and control the amount of staple food. Encourage patients to drink more water so that they can have enough urine daily to promote uric acid excretion. Choose alkaline food, such as milk, vegetables, potatoes, citrus, etc., which can reduce the blood uric acid concentration and even make the urine alkaline, thus increasing the solubility of uric acid in the urine and promoting the excretion of uric acid. Develop good lifestyle habits Live a regular life, work and rest on time, pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Avoid working all night, playing cards, watching TV or movies, etc.; clear your mind, be calm and optimistic; adhere to regular physical exercise all year round, taking a walk, playing tennis, fitness and other aerobic exercises with high oxygen consumption is better, but the amount of exercise should be appropriate. Fast running, soccer, basketball, mountain climbing, ice skating, swimming and other strenuous exercise due to increased tissue oxygen consumption, anaerobic enzymatic lactic acid production, and lactic acid can inhibit the kidney uric acid discharge function, so that the blood uric acid rises, inducing an acute attack of gout, should be avoided; quit smoking and alcohol, drinking alcohol can trigger a gout attack, especially beer in the fermentation process can produce a large number of purines, very bad for gout patients, should be contraindicated.
