Gout is a disease that requires avoiding food. The onset of gout is closely related to the patient's diet. Therefore, many foods with higher purine cannot be touched to avoid increasing uric acid. However, if eaten correctly, it will not only not increase the uric acid level, but also help lower uric acid. So how should gout patients eat to reduce uric acid? Look down to
1. Eat more vegetables
Many vegetables are rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, which is helpful for the excretion of uric acid and can also dissolve urate faster. It is recommended that gout patients can choose some vegetables with less oxalic acid and lower purine, such as carrots, eggplant, tomatoes, cabbage, etc., and eat less vegetables with more oxalic acid such as spinach.
2. Eat more fruits
Fruits also contain many vitamins and various minerals, and are rich in nutrients, so gout patients can eat more. It is recommended that gout patients choose some fruits with less fructose and lower purine content, such as peach, strawberry , pineapple, cherries, etc., which can not only replenish the nutrients needed by the body, but will not affect uric acid excretion. It is recommended to eat about 200 grams a day.
3. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber
Eat more foods containing more dietary fiber can make intestinal peristalsis faster. It not only improves the digestive function of gout patients, but also helps patients' uric acid excretion. Therefore, patients must eat more foods with dietary fiber, such as oats and corn.
4. Eat more low-fat foods
High-fat foods will be converted into acidic substances after entering the body of gout patients, and will also compete with uric acid for excretion channels, resulting in the inability to excrete uric acid normally. Therefore, gout patients must eat less high-fat foods, but you can eat more low-fat foods, such as low-fat yogurt and milk, which will be of certain help to control the level of uric acid.
5. Drink more water
Gout patients need to drink more water. I believe that gout patients have heard of it many times. Gout patients should drink at least 2,000 ml of water every day. It is best to drink it in batches. One cup per hour is best. This can not only effectively promote uric acid excretion, but also help prevent urinary tract stones.
In addition to paying attention to diet, gout patients should also maintain good living habits, avoid overwork, and ensure adequate sleep. Otherwise, the uric acid level in the blood of gout patients will also increase, causing gout.
