Today, we had a consultation with an 84-year-old grandfather from Daxing District, who has coronary heart disease, hypertension, abnormal glucose tolerance and hyperuricemia, which are typical of geriatric diseases. Although he was already an “old man”, he was deaf and bright, smiling and responsive, and his three children were nearly middle-aged but were all by his side, so even though he was old, his “life expectancy” should be long. The elderly and their family members are also happy to accept my nutritional guidance for a more rational and scientific nutritional diet. Such elderly people have their own “dietary pagoda”. During the communication (dietary survey) with the elderly, when “pork, beef and mutton” were mentioned, the elderly frowned, and the family explained, “I want to eat them, but people say that high uric acid does not allow me to eat meat. Every day the old man craves meat, so he has to be fed meat soup, chicken soup and bone broth!” I then asked what about soy products and tofu. The old man frowned even more. In fact, during the acute attack of gout, that is, when there are symptoms of joint pain, it is true that the intake of seafood, meat and animal offal should be strictly limited. However, this is limited to the “acute gout attack” period. In other words, after the acute phase of gout, when the chronic phase or uric acid level is controlled at a relatively low level, meat and soy products can be consumed in reasonable and moderate amounts, and at this time, eggs and milk are the best sources of high quality protein for patients with hyperuricemia. First, patients with hyperuricemia are often patients with metabolic syndrome, prone to osteoporosis and various vascular complications (e.g., nephropathy, fundopathy, etc.), and the irreplaceable high-quality protein, heme iron, B vitamins, chromium, zinc and other trace elements in meat are protective factors against these complications. Furthermore, the purine content of whole soybeans processed through grinding and other processes is already relatively low, and the calorie and fat content of soybean products (north and south tofu) are low, while the high quality protein content, which also contains soy lecithin and phytoestrogens that regulate blood lipids, is an indispensable food for vegetarians. Finally, let’s talk about the “meat temptation” that Grandpa endured, not daring to eat meat but drinking a lot of “broth,” “chicken soup,” “bone broth “- for normal healthy people, these soups are really no nutritious liquid, and worse, for patients with hyperuricemia and hyperlipidemia, these “soups”, but is a large number of “purine” and “purine”. These “soups”, for patients with hyperuricemia and hyperlipidemia, are instead the culprits of gout attacks that contain a lot of “purines”, “nitrogenous waste” and “saturated fats”! So, health care professionals and patients, squash the rumors that patients with hyperuricemia “can’t eat meat” and “can’t eat soy products”!
