With the improvement of people’s living standards, especially the improvement of dietary structure, the incidence of gout, a disease with a low incidence in the 1960s and 1970s, has increased significantly in recent years. The high incidence of gout is mainly related to the improvement of people’s life and diet. According to Chinese medicine, gout belongs to “damp-heat paralysis”. It is a disease caused by cold and dampness and is clinically referred to as hyperuricemia in western medicine. The treatment of gout in Chinese medicine is usually based on clearing heat and dampness, together with dietary treatment, to control inflammation and excrete uric acid to relieve symptoms. When spring comes, lobster is also on the market, and around Qingming there are also snails, mussels and other “river food and seafood” on the market, all of which are things that old Nanjingers like to eat. Gout patients should try to avoid these diets, in addition to bean curd and other soy products, including beans, soybeans, Dutch beans, and even cauliflower should be careful to eat, because these dishes contain vegetable protein, its intake should also be limited. As for the delicious meat soup is not suitable to drink more, because the high purine is an important risk factor for gout.
