How to choose fruits and vegetables for gout patients

  1, gout patients consume vegetables, fruits, grains and spices should not be limited?
  This is a very good question, because every day we can’t do without these foods on our table!
  (1) First of all, vegetables, most vegetables have low purine content and belong to low purine food, mushrooms, nori and asparagus have the highest purine content and belong to high purine food. The purine content of fresh bean vegetables is higher than leafy vegetables and squash, for example, soybean sprouts, bean seedlings, string beans and peas have higher purine content than rape, winter squash and eggplant. The risk of gout is low because of the alkaline nature of these foods, which help to eliminate uric acid. In particular, although the purine content of onion and garlic is not high, but because of the strong stimulation, easy to trigger an acute attack of gout, it is recommended to eat as little as possible.
  (2) Fruits: rich in a variety of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, is a very good for health category of food. Fruits are sweeter and very tasty because most of them contain a certain amount of glucose, sucrose and fructose. Fructose accelerates the synthesis of uric acid and sucrose produces fructose when broken down. Fructose is highest in honey, and juice drinks with added honey are best not to drink. In addition, the sugar content of dried fruit, dried fruit is very high, try to eat less, it is best to choose fresh fruit. However, the energy contained in some fresh fruits is not low. In order to control the total energy intake, the intake of fruits should be appropriately limited, and the dietary pagoda for Chinese residents suggests that fruits should be eaten 200-400g per day.
  (3) Cereal: It is the main source of our energy, and there are staple foods in three meals a day. Cereals, coarse grains than fine grains purine content is high, wheat bran, rice bran and wheat germ belong to the medium purine content, it is recommended to eat coarse grains with fine grains every day, coarse grains accounted for 1/3 of the main food can be.
  (4) condiments: the variety can be described as a variety, the choice is really a headache, so I will give you a summary, you just remember that there are two major categories of condiments need to be limited on it. The first category is high sodium condiments, such as salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, sauces, curd and pickles, because sodium has the effect of precipitating uric acid, which is not conducive to uric acid discharge; the second category is the stimulating spices, such as mustard, pepper, chili, etc., can induce acute attacks of gout.
  2, tofu, mushrooms and leeks which food has the highest purine content?
  (1) Shiitake mushroom is a food with high purine content. Some patients think that shiitake mushroom can fight against cancer and eat more of it, and as a result, they have gout attacks. At present, the mushroom feast is very popular in China, and many gout patients get sick at night after eating mushroom feast.
  (2) Many gout patients believe that they cannot eat soy products because of their high purine content. In fact, gout patients are not completely unable to eat soy products, this is because part of the purine dissolved in water during the production of tofu, so that the purine content in tofu is reduced by about 2/3, tofu belongs to the medium purine content of food. Some nutrition experts at home and abroad believe that the intake of beans and their products does not raise uric acid, and even has a protective effect. 1 cup of soy milk or 2 taels of tofu per day will not cause a significant increase in purine intake, so it can be eaten properly.
  (3) Leeks are onion and garlic vegetables with low purine content, and they are foods with very little purine content. However, leeks are more stimulating and can easily induce acute attacks of gout, so it is recommended to eat as little as possible.
  3, shiitake mushrooms are mushrooms, to eat less, what about silver fungus and wood ear?
  (1) The purine content of shiitake mushrooms is very high, so many people mistakenly believe that all mushrooms are high purine food, in fact, it is not.
  (2) The purine content of fungus is not high, each 100g of dried fungus contains 8.8mg of purine, and the daily intake of fungus is about 5 to 10g, so gout patients can eat it without worry.
  (3) Silver fungus, on the other hand, belongs to the medium purine content of food, eaten with care, do not eat too much, the best control in about 10 to 20g!
  4, tofu can be eaten properly, then soybeans and bean sprouts?
  (1) just talked about the medium purine content of tofu, gout patients should eat less! What is the concept of eating less? How much to eat? Acute attack period try not to eat, remission period can eat 2-3 times a week, each time about 100g. The raw material of tofu – soybeans, which has more than twice the purine content of tofu, so soybeans should be eaten even less, try not to eat during the acute attack period, remission period can eat 2-3 times a week, no more than 50g each time!
  (2) bean sprouts are made of dry bean foam, in the soaking process, the nutrient content of bean sprouts has changed, purine content has not been reduced, bean sprouts and dry beans are the same medium purine content of food, therefore, bean sprouts should also be eaten sparingly.
  5.In addition to those mentioned, what else should I pay attention to in vegetables?
  (1) Pickled vegetables such as sauerkraut, pickles and kimchi should be eaten sparingly: the sodium content is increased;
  (2) high purine content of vegetables such as asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, purple cabbage to be wary;
  (3) dark vegetables such as kale, rape, carrots, purple kale, etc. can be eaten more
  6, gout patients to stay away from which fruit?
  (1) Gout patients should first consider the purine and fructose content of fruits when choosing fruits. Strawberry has high purine and fructose content. Although strawberries are rich in vitamin C, the oxalic acid content of strawberries is high, and if eaten with foods high in calcium, it can cause urinary stones and affect urine discharge, so it is recommended that gout patients eat fewer strawberries.
  (2) Cherries contain an amazing phytochemical, anthocyanin, which can scavenge free radicals produced by human metabolism and has a strong antioxidant effect, as well as an anti-inflammatory effect, which can reduce the pain of gout patients. You should eat 20 pills a day.
  (3) Kiwifruit can be eaten more, high vitamin C content, VC can promote the dissolution of uric acid salts in the tissue.
  7, so many fruits, which are dangerous, which are not dangerous, how to remember it?
  (1) Eat less fruits with high sugar content: raisins, persimmon cake, dried dates, dried cinnamon, pineapple honey, bananas, coconuts, fresh dates, red fruits ;
  (2) Eat fruits with low sugar content: watermelon, melon, lemon, apricot, plum;
  (3) Eat more fruits containing vitamin C: prickly pear, sour date, blackcurrant, guava, kiwi;
  (4) appropriate to eat purple fruits: grapes, blueberries, raspberries;
  (5) eat less strawberries.
  8, many people lose weight, said not to eat meat, eat more fruit, can it?
  (1) Scientific weight loss should be based on reducing the day’s energy intake, to achieve a balanced diet, and combined with reasonable exercise.
  (2) Meat is an important source of protein, B vitamins and trace elements such as Fe and Zn in the daily diet. If you do not eat meat for a long time because of weight loss will cause a lack of these nutrients, and replace meat with fruit, is not a wise choice, because fruit contains high sugar, energy is not low, excessive eating fruit will also increase energy intake, such as 1 day to eat 3 pounds of watermelon is equivalent to eating a large bowl of rice (about 3 two). And the sugar contained in fruits are some simple sugars, absorbed quickly, easy to cause blood sugar fluctuations, generally after eating fruits will soon feel hungry.
  (3) It is recommended that gout patients lose weight and can have 1 to 2 taels of lean meat and 1 medium-sized fruit per day to achieve a balanced diet.
  9.Which staple food is more suitable for gout patients?
  (1) Staple food is the main source of carbohydrates, if the staple food intake is not enough, the body is not enough carbohydrates, which can easily cause the mobilization of adipose tissue and decomposition to produce a substance called ketone bodies. Ketone bodies have an inhibitory effect on the excretion of uric acid by the kidneys. It can be said that the intake of sufficient carbohydrates is conducive to uric acid excretion.
  (2) coarse grains such as corn, millet, sorghum, brown rice, oatmeal contains more purines than fine grains, gout less to eat (diabetes, on the contrary, should eat more fiber composition of coarse grains).
  (3) Fine grains such as fine rice or fine white rice, fine white flour, fine white flour and fine white bread have little purine content and are suitable for gout, but have little dietary fiber content, which can easily cause fluctuations in blood sugar;
  (4) Of course, coarse and fine, with fine grains as the main, coarse grains in moderation, nutritional balance is better.
  10.Do I need to control the staple food? How much is the right amount to eat?
  Gout patients are generally fat, in order to achieve the purpose of weight control or weight loss, it is necessary to control the daily energy intake, and staple food is our main source of energy, therefore, staple food needs to be controlled. The general energy requirement is calculated based on several factors such as age, height, weight, and physical activity. Therefore, each person’s energy needs are different, and the amount of staple food is also different. The amount of staple food is generally about 3 taels to 7 taels (150g to 350g) (raw weight) range. How much you need to eat specifically, it is best to find a professional nutritionist to consult!
  11, gout patients how to eat pasta?
  (1) Be wary of ramen; high salt, high soup and ramen agent;
  (2) Be wary of snacks: high sugar, high fat, high energy and fermentation, not easy to control weight, and the high content of margarine trans fatty acids, not good for blood lipids!
  (3)Fermented buns; high purine content of fermented yeast.
  (4) Soup dumplings, wontons and dumplings: the purine content of gravy and meat filling is very high.
  (5) It is better to choose non-fermented pasta, such as noodles, pancakes, etc.
  12.Which kind of seasoning should be kept away from gout patients?
  (1) Vinegar is low purine, alkaline food, soften blood vessels, lower blood lipids, can be eaten;
  (2) MSG: high purine and high sodium, should be eaten less;
  (3) chili pepper: excite the autonomic nerve, easy to induce an acute attack of gout;
  (4) salt and soy sauce: salty seasonings, high sodium content, sodium has the role of precipitation of uric acid, is not conducive to uric acid discharge, should be eaten less, the general recommendation of salt does not exceed 5g / d;
  (5) sugar: sweet seasoning, high energy, gout patients are generally overweight, need to control the total energy intake, refined sugar should be eaten less;
  (6) chili powder, mustard and pepper: spicy seasonings, relatively strong irritation, excitement of the autonomic nerve, can induce an acute attack of gout, should be eaten less;
  (7) chicken essence and bone broth powder: fresh flavor seasoning, eat less.
  13, it is difficult to remember, how to summarize?
  Gout vegetables have misconceptions, mushrooms fresh beans to be wary; gout fruits need to be moderate, dried fruit high energy; gout staple food to be sufficient, coarse and fine with more benefits; gout seasonings to pay attention to, salty and spicy seasoning is a minefield.
