In recent years, our living standards have generally improved, and the number of people with gout is increasing. Modern medicine has confirmed that high uric acid levels are the main cause of gout. Gout is a group of diseases caused by purine metabolism disorders and uric acid excretion disorders, so gout is common in men over the age of 40. Gout is becoming younger, and now gout patients around 30 years old are also common. If you have gout, you must pay attention to your diet. Today, I will talk to you about some dietary taboos for gout.
3 dietary taboos for gout patients
The first point is to strictly avoid alcohol because alcohol directly inhibits uric acid excretion. Therefore, long-term alcohol consumption will worsen the condition. In addition, drinking alcohol often involves consuming a lot of meat, which increases the intake of purines. Therefore, to stay away from gout, one must abstain from alcohol.
The second point is to strictly avoid spicy food, whether it’s chili or mustard pepper powder. Any food containing chili will stimulate the nervous system, directly triggering gout attacks. Therefore, you should eat less or avoid spicy food, especially for those with severe gout, to prevent worsening the condition.
The third point is to eat less various meats. Gout is a form of nutritional excess. Excessive intake of fats will inevitably worsen the condition of gout. Therefore, it is essential to reduce the intake of meat in your daily life.
Gout patients often drink a cup of tea to easily control gout
Today, I recommend a Ge Tiao herbal tea to everyone. Drinking this tea regularly can help us easily manage gout. It is made from dried chicory, gardenia, Ge Tiao, mulberry leaves, and lily as the main ingredients, brewed in water, drink three cups a day. This tea can effectively alleviate gout. Why is it so magical? The key is that each of these five foods has its unique benefits, and when combined together, their effects are maximized. Let’s get to know each of them:
Chicory: It has heat-clearing, detoxifying, diuretic, and anti-swelling properties, commonly used to treat nephritis edema and reduce uric acid levels.
Gardenia: Modern research has found that gardenia contains geniposide and crocin, which can dissolve uric acid crystals and reduce uric acid levels.
Ge Tiao: Relieves muscle tension, promotes blood circulation, treats various ailments. Ge Tiao can lower blood uric acid levels and relieve arthritis.
Mulberry leaves, lily: Mulberry leaves have diuretic and dehydrating effects. The main way uric acid is excreted from the body is through urine. Lily contains colchicine and is commonly used in clinical treatment for gout.
