More and more people are suffering from gout, which is related to incorrect dietary habits. People who are prone to gout already have disorders in purine metabolism. If they continue to consume high-purine foods, excessive uric acid will be produced in the body after digestion. When the uric acid concentration rises and cannot be excreted promptly, health is threatened, and gout exacerbation is more likely.
Therefore, in the process of improving gout, methods should be reasonable, paying attention to dietary rationalization. Besides avoiding seafood, other high-purine foods should also be kept away from.
1. Legumes
To prevent the increasing incidence of gout, legumes should not be consumed in large quantities. Many people consume legumes in large amounts over a long period, thinking that consuming a lot of legumes can supplement rich plant proteins. However, with excessive consumption, health is at risk, and it is more likely to lead to a rise in uric acid concentration. When purine substances are not smoothly excreted after being obtained in large quantities, the result is increased uric acid production, which leads to the continuous development of gout.
2. Beer
To prevent worsening of gout, it is crucial to stay away from alcohol in the diet. Many people often drink beer regularly and enjoy seafood with beer in summer without realizing that excessive alcohol intake not only affects liver function but also impacts the condition of gout.
Beer contains purine substances and consuming it excessively results in a high production of uric acid in the body, which is not excreted promptly, leading to worsening of gout. To effectively alleviate gout and reduce the incidence of the disease, attention should be paid to a reasonable diet, staying away from alcohol as much as possible to maintain a healthy body state.
3. Animal Offal
Many people only know that excessive intake of seafood can lead to gout, but they are unaware that animal offal also poses risks if consumed excessively.
In addition to the intake of cholesterol and fat substances increasing blood viscosity, excessive consumption of animal offal may increase the production of uric acid in the body and slow down its excretion, making the formation of gout more likely. Therefore, in the process of avoiding gout, pay attention to a rational diet and consume less animal offal.
4. Hot Pot
To avoid worsening of gout, hot pot should not be consumed frequently. Many people enjoy hot pot during gatherings. Although hot pot is delicious, the soup base of hot pot tends to accumulate various nutrients from food and also contains many purine substances.
If the hot pot soup is often consumed while eating hot pot, a large amount of purine substances will be obtained, making it difficult for the body to maintain health. This can lead to an increase in uric acid concentration, thus increasing the incidence of gout. Therefore, in the process of avoiding gout, this type of food should also be avoided, promoting health through controlled and balanced diet.
