How to eat healthy with high uric acid?

  With the improvement of people’s living standards, the incidence of gout is increasing year by year, and the population with high uric acid is even larger. In daily life, it is important to adjust the diet and lifestyle in time to help prevent and treat gout. In addition to genetic susceptibility, studies have found that drinking alcohol (beer and liquor), consuming large amounts of meat, seafood (such as shellfish), animal offal, drinking fructose-rich beverages, strenuous exercise, sudden exposure to cold, obesity, fatigue, irregular diet and rest, and smoking are all risk factors for gout.  What should I eat if I find high uric acid in the examination?  1, reduce the intake of red meat with high purine content Reduce the intake of red meat, such as beef, lamb, pork, etc. Our clinicians have also found that many gout patients have the habit of eating large amounts of red meat. These people also usually have a significant state of obesity.  According to our dietary guidelines, the average daily intake of red meat should be limited to 50 grams or less during remission or hyperuricemia, taking into account the patient’s condition, and should not be consumed during acute gout attacks. Avoid eating animal offal such as liver and kidney, and thick meat soup and gravy.  2, reduce the intake of high purine seafood long-term consumption of large amounts of high purine seafood, also considered by the global medical community is one of the risk factors for gout. Because seafood food is relatively low in calories, some patients’ bodies may not be significantly obese, but the uric acid level is high. Excessive consumption of shellfish, oysters and lobsters and other seafood with shells should be avoided.  3, reduce dietary calorie and fat intake Fat itself will hinder the kidney’s excretion of uric acid, and fatty meals will also lead to obesity and metabolic disorders. For patients with excessive body fat and obesity in the waist and abdomen, weight loss itself is conducive to the improvement of the state of metabolic disorders.  4, change the content of staple foods Do not eat refined white + fat staple food combinations, moderately increase the proportion of mixed grain potatoes to reduce obesity and insulin resistance state. Encourage the intake of low GI (glycemic generation index) cereals.  5.Significantly increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits Adequate amount of fresh vegetables, which should reach 500g or more daily. 1 egg per day.  6.Increase the intake of skim or low-fat dairy and its products, recommended 300mL per day. 7.Strictly abstain from alcohol, no fructose-rich drinks, and drink more water (2000ml or more per day).  For patients with acute gout attack, poorly controlled medication or chronic gouty stone arthritis, alcoholic beverages should be prohibited. In addition, patients with gout and hyperuricemia should undergo body composition analysis and a complete physical examination.  While avoiding foods with high purine content, alcohol and sweet drinks, the only way to really get the body in shape is to improve the overall metabolic function of the patient through proper nutrition and weight loss and fat reduction. When the overall metabolic level of the body is improved, the problem of uric acid will also be gradually improved. For patients who have not yet developed gout, weight control and improvement of metabolic disorders can largely prevent the disease from progressing to the gout state and prevent all the serious consequences caused by it.
