To relieve gout, start with eating? Doctor: Do these 4 points in your daily diet, or you can control the disease!
"Gout" must have been heard by everyone. This is a relatively common and very complicated type of arthritis in Chinese clinics.
Its first attack is often sudden, and patients will feel sudden abnormal pain, edema, redness and other inflammatory reactions in a certain small joint of the body, and the symptoms can last for several hours, days or weeks. The pain is often unbearable.
According to the current clinical information, gout is actually a crystal-related joint disease , and its pathogenesis is based on hyperuricemia . When the blood uric acid level in the patient's body exceeds the standard, uric acid will precipitate urate crystals and begin to deposit in the patient's joints, eventually inducing acute inflammation of the joints .
With the continuous development of the patient's condition, many problems such as tophi and joint deformity may appear in the future, which will seriously affect the quality of life.
If you want to treat gout, you need to adjust from two aspects. The first is that patients should actively cooperate with doctors to use various drugs to control the development , and the second is to reduce the chance of gout attacks through dietary adjustments . For example, the following dietary details may be helpful for disease control:
1. Choose low-fat milk or yogurt
Relevant research surveys have shown that whether it is short-term or long-term intake of dairy products by adults, especially skim milk, low-calorie yogurt , etc., will reduce blood uric acid levels and have the effect of controlling hyperuricemia.
Moreover, milk contains ingredients , which have anti-inflammatory effects, and can reduce the chance of recurrent gout by reducing the inflammatory response of monosodium urate in the joints ;
2. Avoid high-purine foods
In fact, uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in the body, and there are two main parts of purine in the human body. The first is the internally produced purine substance, which is beyond our control. The second is the intake of purines .
According to the current clinical information, red meat, seafood, animal offal, various thick soups, etc. are all high-purine foods, which may cause fluctuations in blood uric acid levels and gout attacks. Therefore, patients should reduce their consumption in daily life;
3. Don't drink alcohol
Clinically in China, many gout patients develop sudden onset, in fact, after a heavy drinking session. The reason for this is that during the process of alcohol metabolism in the human body, a certain amount of lactic acid will be produced , which can inhibit the ability of the kidneys to excrete uric acid .
At the same time, partially fermented wine contains a lot of purines. In addition, during the drinking process, high-calorie foods are often consumed , which naturally increases the possibility of gout attacks. Therefore, it is necessary for people who have already suffered from gout to avoid drinking alcohol;
4. Control heat
Related studies have shown that obesity is one of the high-risk factors for gout. It not only increases the incidence of gout, but also the age at which obese people develop gout is relatively young. Generally, the higher the BMI index, the higher the risk of gout.
Therefore, for obese people, it is not only necessary to limit the intake of purine foods, but also to control the total calorie intake throughout the day, and eat more light food, whole grains and vegetables.
What needs to be emphasized here is that dietary regulation is only part of the prevention and treatment of gout.
You should know that no food can replace drugs to treat diseases, so patients should seek help from doctors as soon as possible after the onset of the disease, use relevant drugs to control the development of the disease according to the doctor's advice, and then make adjustments in many aspects such as life, diet and exercise. Prevent gout from recurring.
