The metabolism of a substance called purine in the body is disturbed, and the synthesis of uric acid (a metabolite of purine) increases or its discharge decreases, resulting in hyperuricemia. When the blood uric acid concentration is too high, uric acid is deposited as sodium salts in joints, soft tissues, cartilage and kidneys, causing a foreign body inflammatory reaction in the tissues, resulting in redness, swelling, heat and severe pain in the corresponding areas. In addition to oral medication for gout, it is also important to adjust lifestyle habits and diet. Here I will introduce to you the problems that need to be paid attention to in the life and diet of gout patients. What do gout patients need to pay attention to in their daily lives? 1, proper handling of triggering factors: prohibit or reduce the use of drugs that affect uric acid excretion, such as penicillin, insulin, hormones, anti-tuberculosis drugs, high-dose thiazide level aminoglutethimide and other diuretics, small doses of aspirin, etc.. 2, obese people medicine actively lose weight, reduce weight: restrict calories. But do not lose weight too fast, otherwise fat decomposition too fast will lead to ketosis, inhibit the excretion of uric acid, easy to induce an acute attack of gout. 3, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, try to avoid fatigue: mental stress, trauma, infection, surgery. Gout patients are generally not advocated to participate in running and other strong physical exercise, or long-distance walking tours. Gout patient’s diet attention 1, limit the intake of purine. Patients should control the intake of high purine food for a long time, such as animal offal, seafood, broth, etc. 2.Provide protein, fat and carbohydrate reasonably. Because protein can be combined with nucleic acid to form nucleoprotein and finally degraded to purine, protein supply should be slightly lower and plant protein should be the main source; fat can reduce the normal excretion of uric acid and should be appropriately restricted. Sugar has the effect of anti-ketogenic and increase the tendency of uric acid excretion, so it should be the main source of energy. However, fructose can promote the decomposition of nucleic acid and increase the production of uric acid, so the intake should be reduced. 3. Adequate amount of vitamins and minerals. Supply more alkaline foods such as vegetables and fruits. Because alkaline food can improve the solubility of uric acid salts, which is conducive to uric acid discharge. In addition, vegetables and fruits contain vitamin C and B can promote the dissolution of uric acid salts deposited in the tissues, which is beneficial to relieve gout. Gout patients often have high blood pressure and high blood lipids, so salt should be limited to 2-5g per day. 4. Drink more water. Daily fluid intake should be more than 2000ml to promote the excretion of uric acid and prevent stone formation, you can drink water before bedtime or in the middle of the night to prevent urine concentration, but water intake should be appropriate when the kidneys are not functioning properly. 5, prohibit stimulating food. Ethanol can increase lactic acid in the body, inhibit the excretion of uric acid, and promote purine decomposition to increase uric acid, inducing gout attacks, so should not drink alcohol; forbidden to drink beer; in addition, strong spices and condiments should not be eaten; cocoa, coffee, tea can be eaten in small amounts. Avoid overeating or hunger.
