Enjoying the delicious food is what we are all about
A little surprise in ordinary life
For a lot of people
Autumn and winter = hot pot season
In this season that is slowly getting colder
Eating a steaming hot pot
Not to mention the atmosphere
Recently, however, there has been a saying
"Eating hot pot is easy to induce gout"
Is this statement true?
If we just boil food in water and eat it directly, we won't consume more purines than other cooking methods. However, a hot pot that is only boiled has no soul, and it is precisely those things that give the hot pot its soul that give the hot pot a lot of purines.
1. Ingredients
How can you eat hot pot without meat? In addition to vegetarian dishes, most of the ingredients of hot pot are "purine bombs", such as all kinds of red meat, seafood, fish, and offal such as hairy tripe, yellow throat, and duck intestines.
Second, the bottom of the pot
The bottom of the hot pot is mostly broth, which has a high purine content, and as the water continues to evaporate, the concentration of purines also increases. Moreover, condiments such as chicken essence and monosodium glutamate will be added to the hot pot base during processing, and the nucleotides in these condiments are also one of the main culprits that lead to the increase in uric acid.
In addition, the purines contained in the ingredients can also be fully dissolved in the hot pot soup, and the purine content in the hot pot soup has already exploded, so people with high uric acid must not drink hot pot soup.
3. Seasoning
How can you eat hot pot without soul dipping sauce? However, fermented seafood seasonings such as oyster sauce and shrimp paste will make you unknowingly ingest a lot of purines.
4. Beverages
When many people eat hot pot, they will also pair it with a little wine or various drinks. However, the metabolism of alcohol in the body increases uric acid production and can also lead to dehydration, whether it is beer or liquor, which increases the risk of gout (recurrent) attacks to some extent.
In addition, fructose in sugar-sweetened beverages can also cause an increase in uric acid, increasing or worsening the risk of gout attacks.
Now you know
Shabu-shabu itself does not increase purines
But special ingredients, bases, seasonings, etc
The accumulation of factors may make purines high
Therefore, you should pay attention when eating hot pot
Choose the right soup base and ingredients
I hope everyone who likes hot pot
This autumn and winter are all possible
Eat delicious and healthy!
