Patients with gout and high uric acid recommend eating some low-purine foods daily, because purines are closely related to the uric acid in our body. Purines are the substrate for the synthesis of uric acid. If there are more purines in the body, the final amount of uric acid synthesized is also More, it will increase the blood uric acid concentration, which may induce acute gout attacks.
There is no problem eating onions for gout patients. The purine content of onions is less than 5g per 100g (generally higher than 100mg/100g purines, not suitable for gout patients, higher than 150mg/100g, gout patients are best not to eat) , it is a rare one See low-purine foods. Onions are also rich in nutritional value and have many potential effects on the human body. It is a pity that patients with gout do not eat onions.
Some friends may still have questions. Let’s not talk about onions. Then there are vegetables with higher purine content. Can gout/high uric acid patients eat it? For example, asparagus, green pepper, bean sprouts and other vegetables, their purine can be higher than 50mg/100g, in fact, don’t worry, even if is a vegetable with a slightly higher purine content, few of their purines can be higher than 100mg/100g Yes, in other words, no matter how high the purines of fruits and vegetables are, they will not be much higher. Patients with gout can consume normally. If you are still worried, then share a piece of data: the study found that if patients with high uric acid eat enough high-purine vegetables, the risk of gout attacks is 27% lower than those with high uric acid intake of insufficient daily vegetables .
Purines in vegetables belong to plant purines, which are actually quite different from animal purines provided by meat, animal offal and other foods. They have little effect on human blood uric acid. In addition, vegetables themselves are rich in dietary fiber and have multiple activities. Ingredients and antioxidants are more beneficial for stabilizing the three highs, improving obesity, and also helping to control blood uric acid. In short, vegetables do not need to be too picky about purine content. Adequate vegetable intake must be more beneficial than harmful for gout patients.
Patients with gout need to pay more attention to the animal purine mentioned above. In daily life, the intake of meat, animal offal and other foods should be controlled. Of course, meat is not forbidden to eat, but because of the purine of meat The content is generally high, so you need to control your intake.
In an acute gout attack or blood uric acid is always poorly controlled food, it is not recommended to take in animal offal, fish and shrimp meat, poultry and livestock meat. For livestock meat, choose lean meat and avoid excessive intake of fat and pork belly. It can be controlled at about 50g per day (the size of half a palm) . If the uric acid control is stable, you can actually eat some poultry meat, fish and shrimp meat, but it is best to choose lower purines. For example, in seafood, jellyfish skin and sea cucumbers can be eaten in moderation, and their purine content is not If it is too high, shrimps do not eat grass shrimps, lobsters or crayfish, shellfish and crabs are best avoided. The purines that can be taken in 60~130mg/100g in fish, such as eel, mandarin fish, salmon, tuna, sea bass, saury, cod, etc. Be sure to avoid fish with purines higher than 130mg/100g, such as tuna, mullet, squid, pomfret, saury, anchovies, hairtail, dried fish, and roe.
is also a soy food, soybeans are high-purine foods, it is best to avoid , but can eat soy products , such as soy milk can actually be consumed normally, the production of soy milk is diluted, the loss of purine is more, it is a low-purine drink, but It is not recommended to exceed 300g per day. Tofu, tofu brain, and tofu skin are medium purine foods and are edible, but it is best not to exceed 50g at a time.
Dry foods such as dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus, and dried beans must be soaked in water and cooked to remove more purines. It should also be noted that broth, viscera soup, it is best not to drink, drink less, the fat, cholesterol, and nucleosides (synthetic purine) incorporated in the broth are higher. It is better to eat meat properly and drink less soup. Soy products are also added, such as tofu and other foods, and soup is more prone to gout attacks.
