Gout is a common rheumatic disease caused by disorders of purine metabolism and increased blood uric acid. It is characterized clinically by hyperuricemia with recurrent joint swelling and pain, and often involves the kidneys causing gouty nephropathy and/or uric acid kidney stones. With the development of the economy and the increase of protein in food, the prevalence of gout is increasing. In order to recover early, prevent recurrence and improve the quality of life, gout patients should adhere to scientific dietary principles. The root cause of gout is hyperuricemia in the body, and uric acid is produced by the metabolism of purines in food and the body’s own metabolism, so a reasonable diet is an important part of the treatment of gout. The dietary principles of gout patients are as follows: 1. Absolutely prohibit the eating of high purine food. Animal offal such as brain, liver, kidney, etc.; fish and shrimp diet such as freshwater fish and most sea fish and lobster, shellfish, etc.; meat (beef, sheep, duck, goose, pigeon), salted meat, salted fish, spinach, cauliflower and mushrooms and thick soup, broth, etc.; soy products such as tofu, etc.. Also prohibit coffee, fried food and smoked food, etc. 2, the diet is strictly prohibited “three high”. That is, high fat, high protein, high sugar, because the food purine often exists at the same time with cholesterol and fat. The diet structure is mainly carbohydrates, because it can promote uric acid discharge, more refined white rice, rich flour, corn, steamed buns and noodles, etc. 3, maintain the ideal weight. Obese people should lose weight. Weight loss should be gradual, otherwise it is easy to lead to acute attacks of gout. Usually should do a moderate amount of aerobic exercise, such as swimming, jogging, etc. 4, must limit fat. Because more fat can often lead to obesity, and can reduce uric acid discharge, avoid overeating, eating and drinking. Winter to eat less hot pot, do not drink hot pot soup, avoid spicy and irritating food. 5, drink a lot of water. Drink more than 2.5 liters of water daily to promote the discharge of uric acid and thus reduce pain symptoms. 6.Ban alcohol and limit salt. Alcohol is easy to make the body lactic acid accumulation, and inhibit uric acid discharge, easy to aggravate the gout. Especially beer, which components such as hops is very easy to induce gout, so it should be absolutely prohibited.
