1, the source of uric acid: uric acid produced by the body itself accounts for about 80%, eaten food (mainly meat) produced about 20%. 2, how to make uric acid lower: one is to reduce the production, the second is to promote excretion. Less generation is to eat less purine-containing food, followed by drugs; to promote excretion is first of all to drink more water to promote uric acid excretion from the stool, followed by taking drugs that promote uric acid excretion. 3, how to drink water: patients with hyperuricemia or gout should drink 3000 ml of water or even more every day so as to achieve the effect of diluting the blood and promoting uric acid excretion from the urine. Of which 1000 ml is soda water, because soda water is alkaline, uric acid is acidic, soda water can alkalize the blood, reduce uric acid deposition, it can also reduce the chance of gout attack. However, do not drink soda completely, because soda can lead to calcium loss. The other 2,000 ml can be mineral-containing water, or plain water, which is good for maintaining electrolyte balance. Do not drink pure water completely, because pure water does not contain any minerals, drinking for a long time can lead to electrolyte disorders or deficiencies. 4.Why should I drink water? The daily circulation through the kidneys is 180 liters, and the urine is 1800 ml. Drinking water can dilute the blood and reduce uric acid deposition, so it can reduce gout attacks and also relieve gout; drinking water can also promote uric acid excretion by increasing the amount of urine and reduce the concentration of uric acid in the blood, so drinking water for a long time can prevent gout and reduce uric acid.
