Gout, gout, it hurts so much that you're going crazy! This is not alarmist, and people who have really experienced acute gout attacks should have a deep understanding of this sentence.
During a gout attack, a joint of the body will suddenly appear burning, electric shock-like pain, and accompanied by local redness, swelling, fever and other symptoms. A physically strong young adult may shed tears of pain when gout strikes!
Yes, gout is such a terrible disease, and tracing the root cause of gout is to mention the metabolic disease "hyperuricemia". In clinical view, it is the basis of gout attacks, and acute gout will only occur suddenly after the blood uric acid level is seriously exceeded, and the uric acid precipitates monosodium urate crystals and deposits at the joints.
The causes of hyperuricemia are quite complex, including genetics, sex and age, lifestyle and eating habits. The main thing to mention here is diet, the following types of foods, that is, to increase the level of blood uric acid, may cause gout outbreaks behind the real culprit, now away may be too late:
1. Alcoholic beverages
The more fermented alcoholic beverages, the higher the purine content, such as beer is a typical representative, and the terminal metabolite of purine is uric acid.
Not only that, even if the content of purines is not much alcohol, in the process of metabolism in the body, it will also lead to a large amount of lactic acid synthesis, this component and uric acid competition to excrete the opportunity of the kidneys, can inhibit the normal metabolism of uric acid, and ethanol will also promote the production of uric acid, resulting in a rapid increase in blood uric acid levels.
Clinically, most patients with gout suddenly fall ill, in fact, after a drunken attack;
2. Animal offal
This is the most common delicacy on the table, such as haggis, pork liver, loin, brain flowers and so on. Especially under the influence of what the health care industry calls "complementing the shape", the internal organs of animals have also been given the magical color of health.
As everyone knows, the purine content contained in animal offal is extremely high, and on average, in every 100 grams of animal offal, the purine content exceeds 150mg, which belongs to typical high-purine foods and has no health benefits;
3. All kinds of soup
This includes large bone soup, fish soup, hot pot soup, etc., Chinese believe that the concentration is the essence, after a long time of boiling ingredients, the nutrients contained in the soup are infiltrated into the soup, drinking soup is naturally good for the body.
What you don't know, however, is that when food is boiled for a long time, the nutrients contained in it will be destroyed by high temperatures. The purines contained therein are a special substance that is easily soluble in water, they will penetrate into the soup in large quantities, and long-term drinking is easy to cause hyperuricemia;
4. Red meat
The so-called red meat, in fact, refers to the pork, beef and mutton that everyone eats daily, compared with poultry meat, they not only contain higher calories, fats and proteins, but also contain extremely high purine components.
Relevant studies have shown that on average, the purine content in every 100g of red meat also reaches about 150mg, which belongs to the same high purine ingredients as animal offal. And long-term intake of large amounts of red meat, but also easy to lead to obesity. According to the current clinical data, obesity is also an independent risk factor for gout.
Written at the end: All in all, patients who want to avoid another attack of gout and hyperuricemia want to prevent gout.
What we can do is to adjust from the aspect of life and diet, reduce the intake of the above types of food, drink more water, exercise more, and take drugs that reduce uric acid when necessary, which is very necessary.
