After suffering from gout, patients must do a good job of diet in addition to actively receiving medication. All foods and drinks with high purines should not be ingested.
Otherwise, the uric acid value in the body will increase, which will lead to a recurrence of gout. There are more high purine foods, such as various meats, fried products, seafood and so on.
In addition, many people believe that soy products are also high purine foods, if they are consumed by gout patients, it will affect the condition. So, can gout patients really not eat soy products?
Can't gout eat soy products?
In 100 grams of soybeans, the purine substance contained is 50 to 150 mg, which belongs to medium and high purine foods. Therefore, many people think that all kinds of soy products made from soybeans are also high-purine foods, which is not accurate.
Although the purine substance in the soybean is indeed relatively high, but after making it into soy products, the purine substance contained in it will be very low, such as tofu, soy milk, tofu brain and other soy products in the process of making, you need to clean the soybeans, and then through the blisters, grinding, and then add some water, and need to heat or boil it.
In this way, the purine substance contained in soybeans will be greatly reduced, and the purine content in soy products will naturally decrease.
For example, a cup of 250ml weight soy milk contains a purine content of 23.3mg, while in 100g of tofu, the purine content is 25mg.
Moreover, soy products also contain more dietary fiber, vitamins and other components, these ingredients can accelerate the body's metabolic function, can promote the excretion of excess uric acid in the body, has a certain effect of reducing uric acid.
It can be seen that gout patients can eat some soy products appropriately in their daily lives, but they must control the amount of consumption. In addition, for gout people, there are some more common cognitive misunderstandings that need to be understood.
What are the cognitive misunderstandings about gout?
First, there is no need to avoid diet during the stable period of the disease
There are many gout patients who believe that as long as it is not the acute stage of the disease, there is no need to avoid eating in terms of diet, which is completely wrong.
The cause of gout is due to the high level of blood uric acid in the body, even in the stable period, the blood uric acid in the patient's body will still be higher than normal, and tophi has formed. If you do not avoid the mouth, it will cause gout to attack rapidly in a short period of time.
Second, do not take medicine during the period of moderate illness
In the flat period, it is true that you do not have to take some painkiller drugs, but you need to take some drugs that lower uric acid regularly and quantitatively, which can reduce the uric acid value and prevent the acute onset of gout. If you don't take the medicine, gout is likely to occur rapidly in a short period of time.
Third, as long as you don't drink beer
Many people think that as long as they don't drink beer, white wine, red wine, and other alcoholic drinks, this statement is completely wrong. All alcoholic beverages are high-purine drinks, and once inside the body, ethanol metabolizes large amounts of acetic acid. Acetic acid will not only affect the excretion of uric acid function of the kidneys, but also metabolize a large amount of uric acid, thus aggravating the disease.
All in all, although soybeans contain more purine substances, in the process of making them into soy products, the level of purines contained will drop rapidly, so gout patients can eat a small amount of soy products in their daily lives, which will not affect the disease.
However, for gout patients, the above three cognitive misunderstandings must be avoided, and excessive exercise should not occur at night. Otherwise, it will not only affect the treatment of gout, but also most likely lead to a rapid onset of gout in a short period of time.
