Uric acid is a product of purine metabolism in the human body. Once purine metabolism is disordered, it will lead to an increase in uric acid. Elevated uric acid generally causes joint swelling and pain, decreased renal function and even gout. There are two main sources of
uric acid. One is decomposed from foods rich in purine . This is exogenous uric acid, and the decomposed from amino acid nucleic acid is endogenous uric acid.
Since some foods are rich in purines, once consumed too much, it will lead to an increase in uric acid, so the following high-purine foods should not be eaten too much.
The first type: bread, cake and other sweets
Bread, cake or other desserts have very high sugar content, and these foods contain a lot of artificial fructose. If there is an excess of fructose in the body, it will reduce the excretion of uric acid, thereby promoting the synthesis of endogenous uric acid.
In addition, there is also high concentration of lipoprotein cholesterol in the dessert, which can also induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , leading to diabetes or other cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, if you don’t want your uric acid to increase, you should avoid foods that are high in sweet and sugar.
Second type: carbonated beverage
Regularly drinking carbonated beverages will also lead to an increase in uric acid. This is because carbonated beverages contain a large amount of food additives. If you drink carbonated beverages frequently, it will increase the blood consistency.
Increased blood concentration will affect the normal circulation of blood, and thus affects the excretion function of uric acid, which will eventually lead to the increase of uric acid. and excessive uric acid can easily cause diseases such as ventilation.
So in order to prevent the uric acid in the body from exceeding the standard, you should avoid drinking carbonated beverages and drink more boiled water. This is conducive to diluting uric acid and speeding up excretion. This is also conducive to reducing the level of uric acid.
The third type: seafood products
People with high uric acid should not eat seafood products. This is because the purine content in seafood is very high. When the purine value in is higher than normal, it is easy to cause abnormal purine metabolism, which can easily promote the formation of uric acid and lead to an increase in uric acid.
So if people with high uric acid themselves should avoid eating seafood. Most people should also control the amount of seafood when eating. At the same time, it is best not to drink beer when eating seafood, because seafood will cause a lot of uric acid when digested in the body. The lactic acid in beer will hinder the excretion of uric acid and will also cause the body to have a worthwhile increase in uric acid.
The fourth type: pickled food
The pickled products are all pickled with a lot of salt. If you eat too much pickled products, it is equivalent to eating too much salt. However, eating too much salt has a great impact on the kidneys and will reduce the kidney's detoxification function.
This not only affects the health of the kidneys, but also leads to an increase in blood pressure , which is not conducive to controlling uric acid in the body. At the same time, most pickled products contain a lot of oxalic acid and have a very high acidity.
can easily form explanations in the urinary system. Moreover, the toxic substance sodium nitrite will be produced during the pickling process, which also increases the probability of illness. Therefore, people with high uric acid should eat pickled products.
Therefore, if people with high uric acid themselves should pay special attention in their daily diet and avoid eating desserts, seafood, carbonated beverages, pickled products and other foods to avoid causing excessive uric acid to cause diseases and affecting their health.
People with normal uric acid should also maintain healthy eating habits and avoid eating too much high-purine food that leads to excessive uric acid and ultimately causing unnecessary diseases.
