What is uric acid? Uric acid is a product of purine metabolism in the body after is metabolized by . If there is too much purine in the body, or if there is a problem with metabolism, it is easy to cause excessive uric acid. If the uric acid in the blood is at a relatively high level for a long time, it will bring many side effects, and gout is a major side effect. If we can find ways to lower the uric acid level in the body, then the symptoms of gout can be relieved.
For people with high uric acid, they can drink tea at ordinary times. Because on the one hand, the purine content in tea is relatively low and will not increase uric acid; on the other hand, drinking tea can increase the body's water drinking and promote the excretion of uric acid. Therefore, drinking tea is beneficial for people with high acidity. However, you must also drink tea healthily.
To drink tea healthily and reduce uric acid, please pay attention to the following 4 points:
1: Drink light tea water. Research has found that drinking light tea is more beneficial to health. Too strong tea is not good for the body. When making tea, we should put less tea leaves or reduce the brewing time.
2: It is not advisable to drink tea immediately after a meal. Pay attention to the time when drinking tea and avoid those time periods that are not suitable for drinking tea. For example, it is not advisable to drink tea immediately after a meal. Generally, it is necessary to drink tea after half an hour or about an hour. This will prevent the tea from diluting gastric acid and affecting the digestion and absorption of food.
3: Pay attention to the temperature of the tea. The temperature of the tea is also very important. If the temperature is too low when drinking, it can easily stimulate the gastrointestinal tract; if the temperature is too high, it can easily damage the esophagus and even increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
Generally speaking, the temperature of drinking water should not be 50 degrees Celsius, which is better if it is close to the body temperature.
4: Choose the right tea. For normal people, they can choose tea according to their preferences. However, to achieve the purpose of reducing uric acid, you must choose according to your function. Green tea is a good choice for people with high uric acid. Green tea contains a large amount of tea polyphenols, which can help the human body regulate high uric acid and promote the decomposition and excretion of uric acid.
Of course, black tea, black tea and other tea products are also very good choices, and they are also very strong in decomposition of uric acid.
Finally, it is recommended that friends with high uric acid should not drink the following three types of "water":
First of all, beer. Because the beer is not high, many people drink it as a drink. In fact, for people with high uric acid, beer cannot be drunk. Because beer contains a large amount of purine and a certain amount of alcohol, it will not only increase the purine content in the body, but also affect the metabolism of purine. Therefore, people with high uric acid should drink less beer and try to drink less other alcohol. If you can quit, it is best.
is followed by sugary drinks. For example, Coke, iced black tea, etc., it can be said that the beverages on the market are not suitable for people with high uric acid. Because high-sugar drinks are not conducive to uric acid metabolism and can also increase weight.
The third is juice. Not to mention buying ready-to-eat juice on the market, even freshly squeezed natural juice is not a good choice for people with high uric acid. Because the juice does not have the dietary fiber in the fruit, the sugar is further concentrated, so it is not suitable for people with high uric acid. For healthy people, drink juice in moderation.
