Gout is a disease caused by a long-term disorder of purine metabolism and an increase in blood uric acid. Purines are widely found in various foods and are metabolized by the body to produce uric acid. If, for some reason, the body produces too much uric acid or eliminates too little, the amount of uric acid that remains in the blood will increase and a series of gout symptoms will occur. In patients with gout, when there is too much uric acid in the blood, uric acid crystals are deposited in the joints, kidneys, heart and other parts of the body, causing damage to these tissues and organs. Acute attacks of gout can cause sudden and unbearable pain in the joints of the extremities. Gouty arthritis can lead to joint immobility or deformity. In addition, it can also lead to kidney failure due to the deposition of uric acid in the kidneys. Obese people, diabetics, alcoholics, people between 30 and 50 years of age, brain workers, men, and frequent overeaters are all prone to gout. Gout is one of the seven manifestations of the modern fashionable disease, metabolic syndrome. One of the most important factors in the development of gout is over-nutrition. Most people with gout have a high-calorie, high-protein, high-fat diet. There is no medical cure for gout. It is usually treated with symptomatic choice of drugs or with surgery. Colchicine, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, uric acid excretory drugs and drugs that inhibit uric acid synthesis are some of the most commonly used drugs. Because of the long duration of gout and its incurability, long-term nutritional therapy is a safe and effective option for gout patients. Nutritional therapy for gout mainly aims to reduce uric acid production and lower blood uric acid concentration by limiting the intake of purine in the diet. Since the occurrence of gout is closely related to excess nutrition, a scientific diet structure may fundamentally eliminate this predisposing factor.
