According to the "2017 China Gout Status Report White Paper", the number of patients with hyperuricemia in China has reached 170 million, and the number of gout patients has exceeded 80 million. There are not a few young people who develop gout in their teens and twenties. "Analysis of the Clinical Characteristics of 748 Cases of Gout" mentions that from 2008 to 2013, the proportion of young patients increased year by year, 39%, 39.4%, 40%, 42%, 48% and 52%, respectively, even exceeding that of middle-aged and elderly patients. In addition, if you have a genetic background, you will have a greater chance of developing gout. The doctor also introduced that the incidence of gout in China is about 1.7%, and male patients are 20 times that of female patients.
1. Eat too much meat
The sudden change in dietary structure is the culprit of gout from being "rare" to being "frequent" or even "high". The purines in a large number of meat foods will be converted into uric acid, which greatly exceeds the body's physiological metabolism and excretion capacity, resulting in hyperuricemia, so the incidence of gout rises rapidly.
2. Drink too much sweet drinks
Now many people like to drink as water, most of the sweet drinks contain fructose syrup, and gout attacks and fructose syrup intake is proportional to the relationship. Studies have found that people who drink 5 to 6 times a week with fructose syrup have a 29% higher chance of developing gout than normal people, while those who drink drinking fructose syrup drinks more than 2 times a day have a gout chance of up to 85%!
3. Smoking and drinking alcohol
Smoking increases the risk of gout, and all alcohols can also induce gout, especially beer, which contains a large amount of carbon dioxide into carbonic acid, resulting in obstruction of uric acid excretion in the body.
4. Obese and exercise too little
Being overweight or obese is one of the factors that trigger gout, and losing weight can help reduce the risk of gout attacks. Moderate exercise can speed up metabolism and facilitate the excretion of waste products from the body, including uric acid.
6. Staying up too late, too much pressure
Analysis in recent years has found that excessive stress has become one of the main factors inducing gout in young people. Overwork can cause autonomic disorders in the human body, which can easily lead to the contraction of blood vessels on the surface of the body and internal organs, including the contraction of renal blood vessels, resulting in reduced uric acid excretion. If you work intensely for a long time and are overly tired, you may induce gout.
Gout and diet are closely related
High purines in the diet can easily cause gout
Foods with a high purine content are mainly
Deep-sea fish, beef and mutton, beer, red meat
Mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, peas, etc
