Like most diseases, gout is hereditary. Generally, people with a family history of gout can only be regarded as factors that promote the onset. In the final analysis, it is mainly because of its family inheritance.
In addition, gout is also related to obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other "rich diseases".
Attention should be paid to scientific diet in life, such as long-term heavy drinking, frequent eating of greasy and sticky food and other bad habits, which are easy to cause gout.
Although gout is harmful, diet control is effective. Since gout was recorded, there are many examples of diet therapy. /kloc-in the 0 ~ (th) century, Eurasia adopted strict diet control to prevent gout attacks, which achieved obvious results and was also confirmed by modern medicine.
Methods/steps
1
Restrict purine intake
Gout patients should limit the intake of purine for a long time. The average person's daily intake of purine is 600~ 1000 mg. If it is an acute gout attack, the intake of purine should be controlled within 150 mg per day, which is conducive to ending the attack of acute gouty arthritis as soon as possible and strengthening the curative effect of drugs. The remission period should also follow the principle of low purine diet, but the restriction can be slightly relaxed, and of course it cannot exceed the daily purine intake of normal people.
Animal offal, seafood and meat. You may only know that these foods are high in purine, but you don't know how high. Take our common pig liver as an example. The content of purine in pig liver is 95mg per 100g, while that in Chinese cabbage is less than 6mg per 100g. With such a big gap, some foods have eaten too much purine and even exceeded the warning line of the day. Therefore, it is necessary to know the content of purine in daily common foods.
Gout patients should choose foods with less purine in acute stage, mainly milk and its products, eggs, flour and rice, vegetables and fruits. In the remission period, you can increase the choice of foods containing the right amount of purine, but in the right amount. For example, meat should not exceed 150g per day, especially don't eat too much at one meal. Cook the meat, drinking soup will reduce the intake of purine. However, foods with high purine content should be avoided in both acute and remission stages. What are the specific foods with high purine content? Not much to say here. These can be found in our official WeChat account.
2
Proper amount of carbohydrates
Carbohydrate is the main source of energy needed by all living things to maintain life activities. At the same time, carbohydrates can promote the excretion of uric acid, but don't overdo it, because for gout patients, carbohydrates mainly come from rice and pasta, and the staple food contains starch, which will increase weight.
three
Enough water every day.
Drink 2000~3000ml every day to increase urine volume, so that uric acid can be quickly excreted in the body; At the same time, it also reduces the concentration of uric acid in urine, which can prevent the formation of urethral stones and delay the progressive damage of kidney. In order to prevent nocturia from concentrating, it is recommended to replenish water at night.
Perhaps everyone knows that drinking more water is good for your health, but it is often ignored. Drinking too much water may also have bad results, such as water poisoning. In addition, patients with poor renal function and signs of edema should control drinking water. We also mentioned the topic of drinking water for kidney disease. Friends who want to know can pay attention to our official WeChat account.
four
give up drinking
Alcohol can easily accumulate lactic acid in the body, thus inhibiting uric acid excretion and easily inducing gout, especially beer and wine, which contain a lot of purines and should be restricted. If you drink too much at a time, accompanied by a big meal with high purine and high fat, it may cause the attack of acute gout. So, for your healthy life, please consciously stay away from alcohol.
five
Limit fat intake
Fat will prevent uric acid from being excreted from the kidneys, so the intake of fat should be limited to below 40-50g per day. It is worth noting that the common food in our daily life contains 29.2g of fat per 100g pork, while there are only about a dozen slices of 100g pork. The fat content of rice per 100g is 0.5g, which is about 200g for our commonly used medium bowl. Therefore, for the intake of fat, we should always sound the alarm for ourselves.
In addition, cooking methods also need to use steaming, boiling, stewing and other methods as much as possible to avoid frying and frying. Foods high in fat should be avoided.
six
Eat more alkaline food.
Vegetables, fruits and dairy foods contain more elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, which are metabolized in the body to produce alkaline substances, which can improve the solubility of urate, accelerate excretion and prevent the formation of stones. Patients with hypertension take restricted sodium salt. Watermelon and wax gourd are not only alkaline foods, but also have obvious diuretic effect, which is more beneficial to gout patients.
seven
High-quality protein as a supplement.
Many patients mistakenly think that gout cannot eat soy products, but it is not. Epidemiological investigation found that plant protein and some vegetables and fruits with slightly higher purine content did not increase the risk of uric acid in blood. Under normal circumstances, patients with gout can take some high-quality protein, such as egg white, skim milk, reduced-fat cheese, cereals and bean products. Need to be reminded that dried bean curd contains more purine, but after dried bean curd, dried bean curd and other bean products, the purine content in bean products is reduced by a large part, so the purine content in bean products is equivalent to that of some vegetables and fruits, lower than that of meat, and can be properly eaten.

Matters needing attention
Illness comes from the mouth. On the contrary, diseases can be prevented through diet, and we can prevent gout attacks through diet control.
