When winter comes, and the weather turns cold, many friends start to eat a lot of hot pot, plus drinking to help, some people have a difficult gout attack. Gout is a group of diseases caused by disorders of purine metabolism and hyperuricemia. The gout rate increases with age, mostly in adult men aged 30 to 60 years old, the ratio of men to women is about 20:1. The onset of the disease is rapid, mostly at night, the initial inflammation of a single joint, the first metatarsal toe and the mother toe joint is common, the affected joints are red, swollen, hot, painful, activity is limited, may be accompanied by fever, chills, tiredness, anorexia, headache and other symptoms, generally for 1 to 2 weeks. In acute attacks, bed rest and elevation of the affected limbs should be taken to relieve pain, and activities should generally be resumed after 72 hours of rest until the joint pain is relieved. In addition, blood uric acid and kidney function must be reviewed regularly to detect problems and treat them in a timely manner. Eating hot pot with a large amount of purine content of animal offal, bone marrow, beef and mutton, seafood, shrimp and crab, the purine substances contained in the broth is 30 times higher than the normal diet! It tends to lead to gout attacks. The body purine metabolite uric acid is elevated, drinking and easy to make the body lactic acid accumulation, inhibit the discharge of uric acid, this is the main reason why people sitting around in front of the hot pot to enjoy a drink vulnerable to gout. How to prevent gout on a daily basis 1, reasonable diet. As the onset of gout is to a certain extent due to the influence of diet, so pay attention to the regulation of diet, should abstain from alcohol, moderate diet, to prevent overweight. Avoid purine foods such as animal offal, fish eggs, sardines, beans and fermented foods. Peanuts, spinach, cauliflower, chestnuts and celery are high in purines and should not be consumed. Among the foods, flour, onion, pear, apple, apricot, pumpkin, cucumber and tomato, etc., contain low amount of purine and can be consumed. Patients who already suffer from gout should prohibit alcohol and limit meat, and eat protein mainly milk, eggs and soy products. Usually eat more fruits, vegetables, soy products, dairy products and other alkaline foods, and at the same time should drink a lot of water (2000-3000 ml per day) to promote the discharge of uric acid. 2. Reduce weight. Gout and hyperuricemia are mostly seen in obese people, often combined with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, etc. Some people call it metabolic syndrome. Through exercise and food restriction, so that they maintain the ideal weight, is an important part of the control of the development of the disease. 3. Avoid exertion. Strenuous exercise or excessive physical exertion can cause the body to produce too much lactic acid, which raises blood uric acid and causes gouty arthritis attacks. Therefore, people should pay attention to the spirit of life and avoid overexertion.
