Our dad commented that there was a Mr. Guo who did not want to be named, and the signature was like this:
You think he's the roll king working overtime late into the night? No, he was so sore with gout that he couldn't sleep all night...
People who have experienced it have such a feeling: the painful part can not be touched at all, a touch can hurt for a long time, sleep is very poor, and the spirit is not good.
Gout is not uncommon, and has become the second largest metabolic disease in the mainland after diabetes, and gout is gradually showing a trend of high prevalence and rejuvenation.
According to the 2017 White Paper on the Current Situation of Gout in China, the number of patients with hyperuricemia in mainland China has reached 170 million, and the number of gout patients has exceeded 80 million.
Today I will give you a chance to avoid lightning and tell you which ones you should eat.
How does "gout" that begins with pain come about?
Gout is an arthritis-like disease, and too much uric acid in the blood is the cause of gout.
Because the blood uric acid exceeds a certain concentration (420 μmol/L for men and 360 μmol/L for women), sodium urate crystals will precipitate, and these crystals will accumulate in cartilage, soft tissues, kidneys, and joints, causing pain.
There are two sources of uric acid in the human body, one is the synthetic part of the body, and the other is uric acid produced by purine metabolism in food.
If you encounter purine metabolism disorders, uric acid excretion is blocked or reduced, uric acid naturally becomes high.
Purine (piào lìng) is the product of the breakdown of nucleotides (which belong to THE DNA component) and is basically found in food. In general, purines oxidize into uric acid in the human body, which in turn exacerbates hyperuricemia and increases the risk of gout attacks.
Therefore, people with high uric acid and gout patients should eat less purine-high foods.
So the question is, which foods are high in purines?
Purines come from nucleotides in the nucleus, so the more cells there is in food, the higher the purine content, such as metabolically strong visceral and muscle tissue.
In general, the purine contrast in food is this: meat > plant foods> dairy products.
In order to let everyone choose intuitively, we roughly divide different foods into four levels according to the purine content per 100g of food:
Seeing this, do you think there are too many foods to remember and can't be counted? That can be remembered as follows:
Careful friends will find that the purine content of beans is significantly higher in plant foods.
At present, some studies believe that soybeans can enhance uric acid excretion, but there are also studies that show that eating tofu and soy milk is easy to cause gout attacks.
Therefore, for soys and soy products, it is not encouraged or restricted.
Although fructose does not contain purines, its metabolism in the body will consume a large amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which will promote uric acid synthesis in the body, thereby increasing the risk of gout.
Our little brother, the technician, also worked hard to prepare a non-rhyming but intimate slip of the tongue:
Finally, I hope that you in 2022 will eat less of the "gout package" and hold your health in your own hands!
