About 10 percent of patients with high uric acid will develop gout. Overeating (especially eating animal viscera, seafood, hot pot, a large amount of meat and other high purine foods), heavy drinking, catching cold, joint trauma, strenuous exercise, fatigue, staying up late and so on may induce acute attack of gout.
Before the onset of gout, the parts to be attacked may have discomfort such as conscious fullness, heaviness and stiffness. Some patients may also have systemic symptoms such as low fever, fatigue and loss of appetite, which may be the precursor of the onset of gout.
Do these 8 things well and control uric acid
According to the recommendations of gout management guidelines, in order to do a good job in disease management in daily life, control uric acid and prevent gout attack, patients should try their best to:
Alcohol restriction
It is better to keep a bottle of wine, whether it is Baijiu, red wine or beer, which is more harmful than gout for gout patients. Alcohol in wine will eventually be metabolized into acid in the body, and then compete with uric acid for the excretion channel of the kidney, which will reduce the excretion of uric acid, which is not conducive to the control of gout.
Reasonable diet
The "four low" diet with low purine, low calorie, low salt and low fat is mainly adopted. On the premise of ensuring nutrition, reduce or do not eat high purine foods, usually including seafood, shrimp, crab, shellfish and other aquatic products, red meat, animal viscera, beans and mushrooms. At the same time, increase the intake of fresh vegetables.
-Prevent strenuous exercise or sudden cold
Lactic acid produced by strenuous exercise will inhibit the excretion of uric acid, and cold will accelerate the deposition of urate crystals in joints. In addition to the acute attack period, patients with gout should be encouraged to take moderate exercise to prevent obesity and enhance their immune regulation ability.
Reduce the intake of fructose containing beverages
High uric acid can reduce insulin sensitivity and cause insulin resistance. Fructose is one of the raw materials of purine metabolism, which will aggravate insulin resistance and is not conducive to the control of uric acid.
Drink plenty of water
The kidney can excrete about 2 / 3 of uric acid in the body. Patients are encouraged to drink more than 2000ml of water every day to promote uric acid excretion.
weight control
Gout patients and obese people have a high degree of coincidence. About 60 percent of gout patients have obesity. The main reason is that both gout and obesity have the problem of metabolic disorder or malnutrition. Control weight, Bailey harmless.
Regular work, rest and exercise
Gout is often induced when fatigue and immunity are low. It is also necessary to strengthen physique and improve immunity.
