When Li Yingli resigned because she was pregnant, she wanted to take her child to kindergarten and go back to work, but boiled frogs in warm water, as her son Xiaoyu grew up day by day, Li Yingli also adapted to this kind of life around her son, stove, and washing machine every day, and completely became a housewife. In her spare time, Li Yingli will tinker with all kinds of new dishes, which can not only enrich her life, but also allow Xiaoyu to eat more home-cooked food, and don't always think about eating fast food.
Xiaoyu is 12 years old this year, and it is the time when he enters adolescence and begins to grow his body, not only does he eat a lot of food, but he is also greedy. Recently, a new hamburger restaurant opened at the entrance of the school, and Xiao Yu couldn't walk every time he saw it, so Li Yingli couldn't help it, so she bought one for him. Looking at the oil dripping down the counter, Li Yingli felt unhealthy, so she went home and began to study how to make healthy burgers.
There are three main reasons why burgers in fast food restaurants are unhealthy. First, the bread crust used is usually refined carbohydrates, which remove most of the natural fiber, which not only makes it digest faster in the human body and is not easy to produce satiety, but also belongs to high GI foods, which will cause blood sugar fluctuations and make it easier for the body to accumulate fat and cause obesity.
Secondly, hamburger patties often contain a lot of saturated fatty acids, which can not only increase blood lipids, but also promote atherosclerosis. Finally, meatloaf and sauces also contain a lot of salt and sugar, so burgers are a very typical high-calorie, high-fat, high-salt food, even with greens and tomatoes in between, it does not guarantee a nutritional balance.
After a week of research, Li Yingli completely removed the bad effects of these three aspects, and the ingredients used in the handmade hamburger are not only healthy and organic, but also the cost price of a handmade burger can be worth two fast food restaurants. After ensuring the health, you have to look at the taste, but I didn't expect Xiaoyu's eyes to light up after tasting it, and he swallowed it and shouted: "Mom is so good!" Since that day, Li Yingli's handmade hamburgers have become a frequent guest on Xiaoyu's table.
In April 2023, Li Yingli found that Xiaoyu was not only growing in length, but also growing in weight, Li Yingli was worried that Xiaoyu was overweight, and urged Xiaoyu to go out to play football or basketball with other children every day after dinner. Although Xiao Yu obediently went downstairs, when Li Yingli was washing dishes, she saw through the window that Xiao Yu was just sitting motionless by the flower bed.
What Li Yingli didn't know was that the reason why Xiaoyu didn't want to exercise was because of his big toe. I don't know what's going on lately, there is always a faint tingling sensation in the thumb of his left foot, which is usually bearable, but when it comes to windy and rainy weather, the whole toe is swollen and red, and it feels like a light bulb, let alone exercise, sometimes I can't even walk.
After staying downstairs for half an hour, the weather suddenly turned cloudy, and Xiao Yu's toes seemed to have received a signal, and they began to ache for a while. As soon as he ran into the building, it was pouring rain in the sky, Xiaoyu limped home, and Li Yingli happened to be collecting clothes, so she didn't see him.
Xiao Yu went back to the room, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and immediately soaked his feet in warm water, and it took nearly 10 minutes for the unbearable pain to subside. But the wind outside the window became stronger and stronger, and the raindrops kept hitting the glass windows. Not only did my toes start to hurt, but my knees didn't work out.
Li Yingli came to Xiaoyu's room after cleaning up the living room, screamed several times, lifted the quilt and looked, only to see Xiaoyu curled up into a lobster, his hands covered his toes and knees trembling slightly, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
The doctor had a rough idea in his heart as soon as he saw Xiaoyu's physical signs, and first checked Xiaoyu's blood uric acid. After the results came out, Xiaoyu's father was shocked to see that his son's uric acid was even higher than his own, reaching 726μmol/L. The blood uric acid value of normal adult men is 208-416μmol/L, and Xiaoyu's blood uric acid far exceeds this value, and the symptoms are the typical "redness, swelling, heat and pain" of gout.
Gout is a metabolic disease, due to excessive uric acid intake or insufficient uric acid excretion, resulting in an increase in uric acid in the body, excess uric acid will be deposited on the joints to form tophi, resulting in inflammatory reactions in the joints, manifested as joint redness, swelling, heat and pain, affecting activities.
Uric acid is a product of purine metabolism, so most of the causes of gout are due to long-term consumption of a large number of high-purine foods, such as animal offal, seafood, broth, thick soup, etc. Li Yingli was puzzled after hearing this, the meals she cooked for Xiaoyu every day were strictly calculated in terms of nutritional ratio, and these foods had never been served on the table, how could they cause Xiaoyu to have gout?
But the occurrence of gout cannot be for no reason, and uric acid cannot rise to this point overnight, with a scientific attitude, the doctor carefully asked Li Yingli about Xiaoyu's life and eating habits, and when she learned that Li Yingli often made handmade hamburgers for Xiaoyu, she asked her how to make hamburgers.
Although Li Yingli was puzzled, she still took out her mobile phone and flipped out the video of herself making handmade hamburgers to show the doctor. The doctor looked at the sudden pull of the progress bar forward, and then stopped on a screen, he seemed to have the answer in his heart, and his eyes were full of incredulity: "This meat...... Strange ......"
Li Yingli's heart instantly lifted up when she heard it, she cautiously asked what was wrong, and the doctor pointed to an ingredient in the picture and said bitterly: "You give Xiaoyu such things every day, isn't it just pushing his health to the end of the road?" Ignorance in the clinic ......"
It turned out that in order to reduce the fat content of the hamburger patty, Li Yingli used fish as a substitute for pork, and the fish she chose was sardines. The overall nutritional value of sardines is high, rich in omega-3, EPA and DHA, these fatty acids can reduce the total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein content in the serum, and can also participate in the formation and development of brain cells, which can maintain the normal physiological function of nerve cells.
Sardines are also rich in calcium and iron, which can promote calcium storage in bones and have the effect of calcium and blood. Li Yingli also chose sardines because of these benefits. However, sardines, as a seafood, contain up to 300mg of purines per 100g of sardines, which is undoubtedly a high-purine food.
Therefore, it is precisely because Xiaoyu has eaten a handmade hamburger made of sardines for a long time that the uric acid in the body continues to accumulate, which eventually leads to the occurrence of gout. Li Yingli regretted it after listening to the doctor's explanation, but she didn't expect to lose the other because of this, and she didn't expect that the handmade burger made for health would harm Xiaoyu's health in turn.
Patients with gout are very prone to recurrence if the condition is not well controlled. At present, the clinical treatment of gout is divided into three parts: early control and alleviation of acute arthritis attacks; Lowers serum uric acid to prevent further deposition; Prevents the formation of uric acid stones. The doctor prescribed febuxostat to lower uric acid and colchicine for pain.
In addition to drug treatment, uric acid patients change their lifestyle habits are also very important, in daily life, try to avoid eating high uric acid food, such as broth is best to control the stewing time within 1 hour, if stewed for a long time, all kinds of meat, bones, animal offal contained in the purine substances will be dissolved in the soup, the longer the time will dissolve, the more dissolved, long-term drinking a large amount of this soup is no less than eating seafood with beer every day.
