The melon seeds are rich in fat, protein, zinc and other trace elements, and the fragrance of melon seeds stimulates the "taste buds" on the tongue, making it in an excited state, and transmits to the digestive organs, and the secretion of saliva and gastric juice of various digestive enzymes is correspondingly vigorous, which is undoubtedly conducive to digestion and stagnation, and enhances digestive function. So, does eating too many melon seeds raise uric acid?
01. Do melon seeds raise uric acid?
As we all know, melon seeds, peanuts and other nut foods, our best daily consumption is 30 grams, if we eat too much, our blood triglycerides will rise. Many people eat more melon seeds and peanuts, and the physical examination found that high triglycerides are the reason.
However, the ability of melon seeds to increase uric acid is not strong, and it belongs to a low-purine food. It is not as strong as the ability to raise uric acid like seafood and animal offal, but everyone thinks that if you usually eat a lot of melon seeds, this blood lipid will come up, and people will begin to become obese, which can indirectly increase uric acid.
High uric acid is not only a purine metabolism disorder, but also related to lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism, and the metabolism of these substances affects each other, and metabolic syndrome will occur if it is not controlled in time.
02.What should I do if uric acid is elevated?
1. Improve your lifestyle
The reduction of uric acid is beneficial to the improvement of lifestyle, such as weight control, and then, increase exercise, diet must be light, pay attention to eat less salt, and pay attention to rest, stay up late, quit smoking, limit alcohol, and go to socialize less, if these are done well, high uric acid can be slowly improved, which requires strict self-discipline.
2. Drink plenty of water
Drinking plenty of water can increase urine output and promote the excretion of uric acid from the kidneys, and increased urine output can also reduce the concentration of uric acid in the urine and prevent excessive uric acid from forming stones. And when taking medicine, in order to promote the absorption of the drug and fully play the role of the drug in promoting uric acid excretion, the patient should increase the daily water intake.
3. Use the right medicine
Nowadays, there are many people with high uric acid and gout, and many people take uric acid-lowering drugs, but uric acid cannot be lowered. In fact, you may not have found the right reason and taken the right medicine.
There are three types of uric acid clinically, 60% are hypoexcretion, 10% are hyperproduction, and 30% are mixed in both conditions. Be sure to determine the uric acid type and carry out targeted uric acid-lowering treatment, and your gout will really get better. Just like if you produce too much uric acid, simply taking drugs to excrete uric acid without inhibiting the production of uric acid, your kidneys can't stand it, and gout will naturally recur.
Tips
Friends with gout will experience a period of asymptomatic hyperuricemia, during this period, many people do not feel any discomfort, even if they know that uric acid is high, they do not pay attention to it, as a result, gout does not attack, but has poor kidney function, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other metabolic syndromes. If we had controlled blood uric acid earlier, there would have been no such troubles.
