What is the diet recipe for gout patients

       Gout is a metabolic disease that is closely related to life. Modern people’s standard of living has improved and eating and drinking are commonplace, and they do not know how much of the diet associated with the onset of gout has been consumed, making the number of gout attacks increasing day by day. The eating habits of gout patients are mostly fast and large eating patterns, excessive intake of high purine foods, and heavy alcohol consumption, etc. Improper diet can also cause recurrent attacks. The onset of gout is caused by high uric acid in the body, which is a metabolite of purine and comes mainly from the metabolism of the body and external food. When gout attacks occur, small joints such as bunions, dorsal feet, heels, ankles, fingers and wrists may become red, swollen and painful, with recurrent attacks, joint deformities and the formation of gout stones. In addition to the use of drugs to inhibit the formation of uric acid in the body, but also through a reasonable diet and nutrition to reduce the intake of purine and promote the excretion of uric acid.  The main principles are: 1. Drink more water: drink 2000-3000 ml of water every day to promote the excretion of uric acid in the body through urine. It can also reduce the concentration of uric acid in urine, prevent urinary stones and delay progressive kidney damage. In order to prevent the concentration of night urine, you should also hydrate at night.  2, eat more alkaline food: alkaline food is not the pasta made with baking soda after fermentation, such as steamed buns, buns, soda cookies, etc., but the food that generates cations after metabolism in the body and makes body fluid alkaline, mainly fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, hard fruits, seaweed, etc., which is worth recommending to patients. Plant-based food, supplemented by a moderate amount of meat, is exactly the excellent traditional but fading dietary structure of our country.  3.Low purine diet: purine exists in the nucleus of cells and is a basic component of all living cells. Almost all living things contain purines, only the content is different, animal food has a higher purine content. Purines are water-soluble and dissolve in soup after cooking. Chicken, fish and meat are best eaten in soup after boiling. And foods with high purine content such as animal offal, sardines, anchovies, dried small fish, oysters, clams, thick broth, thick chicken soup, hot pot soup, etc. should be avoided.  4, avoid overweight or obesity: research has found that obesity is an important cause of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia and gout. Overweight gout patients should reduce the amount of food and avoid fatty meat, fried, deep-fried and other foods with high fat content, because fat promotes the retention of uric acid and reduces the excretion of uric acid. Rice, steamed buns and pasta should be used as staple foods. However, weight reduction should be gradual, otherwise it will easily lead to acute attacks of ketosis or gout.  5, prohibit alcohol: alcohol tends to make the body lactic acid accumulation, has an inhibitory effect on uric acid excretion, easy to induce gout. Alcohol abuse, such as the presence of hunger at the same time, is often the cause of acute attacks of gout. Beer itself contains a lot of purines, which can increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood. Drinking too much alcohol can also raise blood lipids, and surveys show that 75% of gout patients are accompanied by high blood lipids, so patients should prohibit alcohol.
