Gout is extremely common in our daily lives. Once gout occurs, the condition will seriously affect the quality of life of patients, so in order to reduce the risk of gout, we must first understand some of the factors that cause gout.
Medical clinical research shows that gout is often inextricably linked to people's living habits, the following lists eight habits of people in daily life, let's prevent it together!
1. Alcoholism
Alcohol abuse is one of the most common triggers of gout attacks, because ethanol in alcohol can promote the hydrolysis of purines, resulting in a very high level of uric acid content, long-term intake of too much alcohol can induce gout. Therefore, some people who love alcohol must drink moderately, avoid alcoholism, and prevent the occurrence of gout.
2. Strenuous exercise
Strenuous exercise can produce a large amount of lactic acid in the human body, which affects the filtration of uric acid by the renal tubules, which leads to an increase in the content of uric acid in the human body, so we should do some smaller aerobic exercise as much as possible, and it is not advisable to exercise excessively.
Third, eat high-purine foods
Purines are the raw materials for the production of uric acid, and if you like to eat foods with high purines, then the possibility of suffering from gout will be very large. These high purine foods are common, such as animal offal, fish eggs, pigeon meat, etc.
Therefore, in the daily diet, a small amount of high-purine foods should be ingested, and vegetables, fruits and high-protein meats should be selected as much as possible.
4. Take a cool shower
Many people in life have the habit of taking a cold shower in the summer, which is a key factor in causing gout.
When the human body is stimulated by cold water or cold air, the human neuromodulatory system can be disturbed, in which the nerves that innervate the renal vasoconstriction will be stimulated, resulting in a great increase in uric acid concentration, so we must avoid cold and reduce the incidence of gout.
Fifth, the intake of water is too small
Clinically, gout patients have little water intake. Normal adults should drink more than 2,000 ml of water per day, so as to promote the excretion of uric acid in the human body and reduce the content of uric acid.
Sixth, eat high-sugar and high-blood lipid foods
High-sugar and high-fat foods are generally favored by people, and people who are accustomed to eating such foods for a long time will not only have the possibility of cardiovascular disease, but also may lead to gout.
Therefore, in order to live a healthy life, we must consume low-fat foods to reduce the possibility of cardiovascular disease and gout.
Seventh, obesity caused by inactivity
Now more and more people enjoy life while ignoring exercise, the body will naturally be bloated and obese. Obesity is one of the factors contributing to gout. Clinically, it has been shown that the uric acid content in the body of obese people is higher than that of thin people, so to prevent gout, we must first control our own weight.
8. Long-term use of drugs
Patients who need to take drugs for a long time in life should pay more attention to the production of gout, and must follow the doctor's advice when choosing drugs, avoid the harm of drugs to the kidneys and exacerbate the rise of uric acid concentrations, such drugs are extremely dangerous.
The above eight lifestyle habits are all factors that cause gout. In daily life, patients should stay away from these bad habits.
Because gout has a great impact on people's lives, and once generated it is difficult to be cured, so the prevention of gout requires everyone to pay special attention, if there is swelling and pain in the joints of the body must go to the hospital in time to check, do not wait until the condition becomes serious to solve.
