What should I pay attention to in the diet of gout patients?

  Gout is a relatively common disease, the population of men who love to drink and eat seafood, when the onset of the disease is often only in one or two joints, so it is easy to be mistaken for other diseases, or simply endure the past. It is important to know that gout can also lead to death by kidney failure, so do not ignore this disease. To control the disease and avoid recurring attacks, you must pay attention to the following points in your daily life.  1, limit the total calorie intake Research has found that obesity is an important cause of hyperuricemia and gout, so weight control is very important for gout, the total daily calories should be about 10% lower than normal people. However, weight loss should be gradual, otherwise fat decomposition too fast can easily lead to ketosis.  2.Adequate water every day Drink about 2000-3000ml of water every day to increase urine volume and make uric acid in the body excreted rapidly; at the same time, you can drink the right amount of soda to reduce uric acid concentration in urine, which can prevent the formation of urethral stones and delay the progressive kidney damage. In order to prevent the concentration of urine at night, it is advocated that water should also be supplemented at night.  3.Limit fat intake Fat will prevent the kidneys from excreting uric acid, so the fat intake should be limited to less than 60g per day, and the cooking methods should be steamed, boiled, potted and stewed as much as possible.  4, eat more alkaline food alkaline environment can improve the solubility of uric acid salts, speed up the excretion, to prevent the formation of stones. Available vegetables, fruits, mineral water, combined with hypertension given to limit sodium salt.  5, abstain from alcohol Alcohol tends to make lactic acid accumulate in the body, which has an inhibitory effect on uric acid excretion and easily induces gout, especially beer and wine contain a lot of purine and should be restricted.  6, low purine diet Gout is caused by purine metabolism disorder, so we must pay attention to low purine diet. (See the four articles in my article for more details on purines in the diet.) Gout is a very dangerous disease, so we should pay more attention to it from our daily diet and living habits, and we should go to the hospital in time when we find gout symptoms. I hope the above summary can be helpful to you.
