Continuously elevated uric acid not only damages our joints, causing gout, but also damages the kidneys, leading to nephritis, renal failure and other serious diseases.
It is reported that there are already 300 million people with high uric acid in my country, and this data is rising in a straight line. Studies have shown that a poor diet is the biggest cause of elevated uric acid.
Case: Mr. Wang is 34 years old and works in an Internet company. He is serious and responsible for his work. He became the head of the department and was favored by the leaders.
After being promoted, he was busy with socializing every day, and often went to the wine party.
Not long after, Mr. Wang was admitted to the hospital because of a tingling knee. After examination, he found that his uric acid was high and he suffered from gout. When he was hospitalized, the doctor warned him to drink less and eat less seafood, beef and mutton.
After half a year, one morning, he found that his legs were swollen, his back was sore, and he couldn’t get up. When his wife saw this, he immediately called the emergency number.
After a series of examinations, Mr. Wang found that his uric acid level was as high as 890μmol/L, which did not drop but rose. He also suffered from nephritis, so he quickly asked the doctor why is that!
The health organization appeals: stop eating “1 green vegetable”, eating one bite is equivalent to throwing salt on the kidneys, throw it as soon as possible
The doctor found that Mr. Wang has changed Diet structure, often eat some vegetarian food, including spinach, because he thinks spinach is rich in nutrients, whether it is fried, cold salad, soup, it is very delicious.
However, spinach is a medium purine food. If the uric acid itself is high, eating too much spinach will undoubtedly “worse the situation”, which will further increase the uric acid content in the body, resulting in an imbalance between the production and excretion of uric acid, and damage to the body. Kidney function, in the long run, will lead to nephritis.
So, although blanching can remove some of the purines in spinach, people with high uric acid have high dietary requirements, so it is still necessary to control the intake of spinach.
Reminder: these “2 elements” are also “pushers” of high uric acid, so eat less
1. Mushrooms
Mushrooms are very common in daily life. In addition to cooking, some people like to use mushrooms to make soup fresh. However, people with high uric acid should not consume mushrooms in excess. .
Because every 100 grams of shiitake mushrooms contain 150 mg of purines, long-term consumption will lead to an increase in the level of uric acid in the body, which is very detrimental to the health of joints and kidneys.
2. Bean sprouts
The purine content in every 100 grams of bean sprouts is even higher than 160 mg , This is because the mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts that are often eaten in life are grown from the sprouting of beans, and the purine content of the beans is very high.
People with high uric acid should eat less.
To prevent the increase of uric acid and protect the kidneys, we need to replenish water in time
In addition, moderate aerobic exercise
Appropriate amount of aerobic exercise can also reduce uric acid to a certain extent, so that the kidneys healthier.
Exercise for about 30 minutes every day can help improve the body’s metabolism, promote blood circulation, prevent the deposition of uric acid in the kidneys, and improve the kidney’s ability to excrete.
However, for middle-aged and elderly people and people with high uric acid, it is best to choose Baduanjin, walking on the spot, walking horizontally and other low-intensity sports, which will not cause secondary damage to the kidneys and joints.
Young people with relatively strong body can do high-intensity exercise such as running, jumping, weight-bearing or resistance according to their preferences.
