As people’s living standard is getting higher and higher, fruits are getting more and more attention from the people; many diabetic patients will pay attention to the selection of fruits and limit the intake of fruits, while most gout patients without diabetes usually do not pay much attention to the type and quantity of fruits. The current study confirmed that gout patients may have a common pathogenesis with diabetes and other metabolic syndromes – insulin resistance, gout patients should also eat selective fruit, especially some low purine fruit is not conducive to the control of gout and hyperuricemia (such as fructose-rich fruit), after throwing bricks, this article I will talk about the gout diet misconceptions of fruit. ”Fruit eating out of gout relapse?” Mr. Chen, 58 years old, suffered from gout 5 years ago, because of the active treatment and adherence to the low purine diet as prescribed by the doctor, uric acid control standards, gout has not recurred for many years. The strange thing is that recently Mr. Chen was unfortunately hit with a recurrence of gout. He was confused, he usually does not eat seafood, animal offal, do not drink beer, all high purine food insist on not touching, mouth control so strict, why will gout again “visit”? After I asked in detail, it turns out that recently the children of the elderly bought a lot of oranges, pineapples and other fruits for the elderly, because they are worried that the fruit will be bad after a long time, they eat a lot every day, and as a result, there is a recurrence of gout. What is the truth? The fruit is rich in variety, the fruit is rich in vitamins beneficial to the body, after meals fruit has long become a daily necessity for many families, however, it is worth pointing out that part of the fructose-rich low purine fruit is a “military no-go area” for gout patients, the reason is that the fruit contains high sugar, through blood sugar, fat metabolism can synthesize purine, thereby increasing The reason is that fruits are high in sugar and can synthesize purines through blood sugar and fat metabolism, thus increasing the level of blood uric acid; at the same time, they can increase the level of serum insulin and reduce the body’s sensitivity to insulin, which leads to an increased incidence of gout and metabolic syndrome. Studies have shown that the intake of fructose-rich fruits is associated with an increased incidence of gout, and the incidence of gout is 1.64 times higher in those who consume one orange per day than in those who consume less than one per month. So gout patients should not be “confused” by low purine fruits, because many acidic fruits with high sugar content are mixed in, gout patients should learn to screen, so as not to unknowingly “lead gout on” like Mr. Chen. The fact that there are clinical cases of gout recurrence after eating fruits does not mean that gout patients should completely “draw the line” with fruits. First of all, acidic fruits with high sugar content, such as oranges, pineapples, longan, peach, etc., as long as they are not eaten in large quantities, the purines produced by the metabolism of the fruit can be completely discharged through the body regulation, which will not cause adverse effects, but should be controlled within 200 grams per day; in addition, not all fruits with high sugar content will lead to an increase in uric acid, such as the diuretic function of watermelon can promote uric acid excretion. Secondly, some studies have shown that alkaline fruits such as apples, grapes, pears and cherries have a good effect on gout patients and can be eaten in moderation. Watermelon Watermelon, which has diuretic effect, can quickly discharge the purine produced, and the sugar contained in watermelon is different from pineapple and orange, so it will not have an effect on uric acid. Apples are alkaline fruits, cool and sweet in nature, moisten the lungs, contain more potassium salts and are rich in water, and do not contain purines. These advantages of apples are conducive to the excretion of uric acid in the body. Grapes Gout sufferers can also eat grapes, which are flat and have the effect of tonifying the blood, strengthening the muscles and bones, as well as facilitating urination. Grapes are also an alkaline fruit, containing little or no purine, and the juice is rich in water, all of these advantages are conducive to the excretion of uric acid in the blood of gout patients. Pears Gout patients can also eat some pears, pears are cool and sweet, but also can produce fluid, clear heat and phlegm, not only contains more water, but also basically does not contain purines, the same alkaline fruit. Cherries Cherries can relieve gout, a study by Boston University found that eating cherries can reduce the risk of gout attacks by more than 33%. The study leader said that the active ingredients in cherries help lower uric acid levels in the blood. In addition, the antioxidant content in cherries can also play an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect in the body, but unfortunately cherries are expensive, if eaten every day most gout patients can “go bankrupt”. Gout patients can eat fresh fruit, but should pay attention to select fruits with low fructose content, such as cucumber, watermelon, coconut water, plums, grapes, cherries, strawberries, olives, plums, etc.; and should not eat too much bananas, grapefruit, oranges, pomegranates, lychees, persimmons, cinnamon, prunes, figs and other fruits with high fructose content.
