Ever since gout, what to drink has not been free. In the summer, the pain caused by this "unfreedom" began to double.
Others are drinking on the street, you can't! Others drink Coke after exercise, you can't!
This summer, in terms of what to drink, can you give people with gout a way to live? Hold your horses! Let's take a look at the 12 most common drinks.
It is said that a summer is incomplete without beer and cola, and a summer for gout sufferers is destined to be incomplete.
Gout patients cannot have these three types of drinks this summer or next summer.
1 alcoholic beverages
Examples: beer, liquor, brandy, whiskey, wine, cider, etc.
Alcohol stimulates the increase of lactate synthesis in the human body, inhibits the excretion of uric acid, and induces gout. Especially if you drink high, eat some high-purine, high-fat meals such as barbecue and barbecue, which is even worse for gout patients.
It can be said that drinking is refreshing for a while, and it hurts to crematorium.
2 sweet drinks
Examples: carbonated drinks such as cola, fruit juice drinks (commercially available fruit juices), vitamin drinks, etc.
Sweetened drinks often contain a lot of fructose or fructose syrup, which can promote the production of endogenous uric acid and make gout come back to the door. Therefore, no matter how sweet and sour these drinks are like first love, please also ask the majority of gout patients to control themselves.
3 broth
Examples: pork rib soup, chicken soup, fish soup, seafood soup, hot pot soup, etc.
It is the third existence independent of beer and cola, and although it is not the mainstream of summer, it is not small.
These soups are particularly low in calcium and not much protein, but the purine content is very large. Gout patients drink broth, just like diabetics eat sugar, that's really unacceptable.
1 coffee
Coffee stars may not think that drinking coffee in moderation can help reduce blood uric acid levels and the risk of gout[1].
Of course, don't get too excited, caffeine has an autonomic nervous system effect, and people who regularly drink a lot of coffee have an increased risk of hyperuricemia [2].
So coffee can be drunk, but not too much, 3~5 cups a day for healthy adults [3]. Also be careful: don't add sugar and coffee mates, and make them thinner.
2 soy milk
You can't drink ice cola in summer, and ice soy milk actually tastes good.
Soy milk is a medium-purine food, and it is best not to drink it during the acute attack of gout, and you can drink it in moderation during the remission period.
3 sodas
It can be drunk, but it is not recommended to drink in large quantities, otherwise it may lead to excessive sodium intake.
1 water
It's colorless, tasteless, pristine and pure, and never disappoints.
Adequate water is good for the excretion of uric acid. Gout tends to attack in the middle of the night, and one of the reasons is that patients do not drink enough water before bedtime, which leads to hemoconcentration and an increase in blood uric acid levels, which then induces gout.
In the summer, the water can be transformed into a variety of forms for you to enjoy. For example, ice water, cold water, warm water.
There are four things to remember when drinking water:
1. Mainly boiled water and mineral water [4].
2. As long as the kidney function is normal, it is recommended to drink more than 2000 ml of water per day, about 8~10 cups, and it is best to reach 3000 ml for those with kidney stones [4].
3. Take the initiative to drink water, don't wait until you're thirsty.
4. Pay attention to hydration before going to bed and getting up in the morning. Drink plenty of water when exercising, taking a shower, or sweating a lot.
2 Tea
It is said that the heart is calm and naturally cool, and drinking tea in summer is also a good way to reconcile with high temperature and high uric acid.
People who are accustomed to drinking tea usually drink a lot of water, which is conducive to the excretion of uric acid from the kidneys, which is indirectly beneficial to gout. Some studies have suggested that the beneficial effects of tea drinking on gout are related to the variety, for example, moderate consumption of black tea can significantly reduce serum uric acid levels [5].
There are two things to keep in mind when drinking tea:
1. Black tea is preferred.
2. Tea should be made lightly, do not drink strong tea.
3 milk
The appearance of milk is a surprise to many people. Yes, it is indeed milk, milk that has been misunderstood by gout sufferers for many years.
Although milk is high in protein, it is very low in purines, making it ideal for gout patients.
Low-fat and skim milk, in particular, can reduce the risk of gout, such as a 12-year follow-up of 47,000 men, who drank more than two glasses of skim milk (240 milliliters each) per day had a nearly 50 percent lower risk of gout [5].
There are three things to remember when drinking milk:
1. It's best to choose low-fat or skim dairy products.
2. You can drink 300 ml a day [6], such as a bag of skim milk (200 ml) and a small box of skim yogurt (100 ml).
3. Don't drink "fake milk", such as lactic acid drinks or lactic acid bacteria drinks, which may contain a lot of fructose or fructose syrup, which can easily induce gout.
If you sigh, it's all a tasteless drink.
Don't be discouraged! In fact, God also leaves a window for gout patients in what to drink. These drinks can be drunk in moderation, but it is best to do it yourself to have enough food and clothing.
1. Fruit and vegetable juices that are low in fructose
For example, juice squeezed from celery, carrots, cherries, lemons, etc., here we are talking about homemade, not fruit juice drinks, and no added sugar.
2. Grain broth
For example, soup made with brown rice, oats, millet, etc.
3. Bubble fruit water
For example, the water soaked in sour fruits such as lemon slices, limes, kumquats, etc., provided that honey or sugar is not added.
