Modern society changes rapidly, and there are too many events that can be talked about by everyone.
Once when I was having a meal, I listened to the two men on the table next to me. After evaluating the situation in Russia and Ukraine and the death of the queen, I actually started to compare myself with my uric acid...
I have uric acid 500, and I have nothing to do now!
you! The last time I found out that I had 650, I still drank the wine!
Although I don’t know what uric acid is like, I suddenly realized that more and more people with high uric acid are getting younger and younger.
According to the "2021 China High Uric Acid and Gout Trend White Paper", the number of hyperuricemia patients in my country has reached 177 million, which is equivalent to at least 1 out of every 10 Chinese people is hyperuric acid patients . And the incidence rate is increasing.
Not only that, when uric acid value is too high, it will also cause obvious structural changes and functional damage to the heart.
simplicity, is an accomplice of cardiovascular diseases!
Is uric acid really so scary?
Today is World Heart Day . Let’s go to the “fourth high” of silence and see how it became an accomplice.
uric acid is actually a metabolite of purine . Our human body continues to produce it every day. It exists in the blood, cells and tissues, and is usually metabolized through the kidneys.
About 80% of the purines in our body are metabolized by cells, and only 20% are obtained from food.
Why is the uric acid so high?
We regard the metabolic system as a road leading to the outside of the body. The car galloping on the road is today's protagonist uric acid. When the car is stuck on the road, it develops hyperuricemia.
The reason for traffic jams is nothing more than two reasons:
1 is that there are too many cars on (too much uric acid), which is caused by the intake of too much purine, and the more uric acid is metabolized. Just like the morning rush hour at work, it would be strange if there are too many cars on the road at the same time.
Second, path is too narrow (excretion disorder), 2/3 of uric acid is excreted by the kidneys. If the kidney function is dysfunction, the excretion function will be weakened. It is equivalent to the original four lanes turning into a single lane, and traffic jams are natural.
Generally speaking, the uric acid level of fasting blood was twice on the same day, and the uric acid level in men was higher than 420 μmol/L and women were higher than 360 μmol/L, which means they suffered from hyperuricemia.
And hyperuricemia is not something to show off. It is like a "time bomb" and has risks that endanger our bodies at any time.
It will promote gout arthritis , forming gout stone , causing joint deformation, and in severe cases it may even be disabled; it will form stones, and then renal interstitial lesions, which may develop into renal insufficiency over time, causing renal failure and other diseases;
It will also promote atherosclerosis, platelet aggregation and coronary thrombosis , leading to coronary syndrome, and increasing the risk of suffering from hypertension , coronary heart disease , heart failure and diabetes .
It can be seen that hyperuricemia and gout are systemic diseases. If poorly controlled, it will bring serious harm to your health.
So if you have high uric acid, what are the symptoms of your body?
First of all, patients with high uric acid often feel thirsty for for no reason, and they still feel thirsty after drinking a lot of water; secondly, abnormal urination is also one of the symptoms of high uric acid, such as excessive urine, oligouria or hematuria , etc.; then, the most obvious symptom is joint pain . Gout stones formed by excessive uric acid can cause obvious pain in the joints.
So everyone must pay attention to their uric acid level. Routine blood tests can reflect whether the uric acid value exceeds the standard. You can conduct regular examinations, detect as early as possible, and treat as soon as possible.
If you don’t want this “time bomb” to explode, you have to intervene in advance and “comb and block” the uric acid in time.
1. Drink more water
uric acid is mainly excreted by the kidneys. Drink more water to produce enough urine and excrete more uric acid. The recommended daily water consumption is 2000ml (equivalent to 4 bottles of mineral water).
Tips: Teach you a tip for drinking water and drink a glass of lemonade after lunch.
Although lemon has a sour taste, it is actually alkaline food , which has an auxiliary effect on lowering uric acid in patients with hyperuricemia and gout.
operation is also very simple: cut a lemon in half a day, and use half a slice to soak it in water. It should be noted that it is best to drink it during the period after lunch and before dinner at .
2. Don’t drink
Beer itself has a higher purine. In addition, alcohol metabolism will inhibit the kidneys’ excretion of uric acid, and can also promote purine decomposition and increase uric acid. Therefore, no matter what alcohol you can quit, just drink less if you can't quit.
3. Eat less high-purine foods
Eat less high-purine foods, and the metabolism of less uric acid will be less. If the uric acid itself is relatively high, try to eat less or not to eat foods such as animal offal, soy products and seafood.
4. Exercise more, control weight
Excessive fat will increase the metabolism of uric acid, and a healthy weight can effectively reduce uric acid and avoid gout. At the same time, exercise can stimulate metabolism and increase the excretion of uric acid, which is one of the effective measures to control uric acid.
Tips: I will teach you another exercise tip - strengthen the kidney and waist in front and back of the hands and feet.
This exercise is used to regulate the kidney meridian and bladder meridian through the practice of "hands and feet front and back", bent over, bent over, and massage the kidney waist to regulate the kidney meridian and bladder meridian, and achieve the purpose of strengthening the kidney and waist. This is very helpful for the excretion of uric acid.
Generally speaking, after finding that the uric acid level is too high, choosing the above lifestyle intervention can improve acute and chronic complications caused by hyperuricemia.
But if uric acid still cannot be controlled ideally, drug treatment must be considered, but the specific medication plan requires professional guidance from a doctor.
Finally, I have to remind everyone that it is not feasible to reduce uric acid by controlling diet (extremely taboos) alone. healthy lifestyle intervention is the right way.
e should eat, drink, pay attention to the intake and exercise appropriately to stay away from hyperuricemia.
