In recent years, the number of people with elevated uric acid has been increasing, which has a lot to do with people’s eating habits. Experts explain that uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism. Eating foods high in purine for a long time will lead to an increase in uric acid levels. Elevated uric acid can cause gout, atherosclerosis and diabetes, which endanger human health.
Case sharing:
32-year-old Xiao Zhang is a deliveryman who dropped out of high school and lived alone One person came to Dongguan to work, although life was very hard, but Xiao Zhang has always maintained an optimistic attitude and never complained.
Not long ago, Xiao Zhang noticed some pain in his knee joint. He didn’t pay much attention to it at first, thinking that it might be caused by lack of rest time. Simple as that. It wasn’t until the night time that the pain got worse and I had to go to the hospital.
The examination results showed that Xiao Zhang’s uric acid level increased to 720umol/L. Xiao Zhang did not know what uric acid was, nor did he understand why he developed hyperuricemia. Later, after an in-depth conversation, I learned that the factor that caused my uric acid to rise is actually related to the food I eat on weekdays.
The “big purine householder” was found out, and the beer was “wronged”. I don’t want gout to come to my door, so I quit as soon as possible
Many people think that the rise in uric acid is related to beer, which is not entirely accurate.
The purine content in beer is not high, but beer contains a lot of alcohol, and the alcohol will be metabolized into ethanol when it enters the human body.
In addition, studies have shown that 80% of the purine content in the human body is produced by itself, and only 20% comes from the ingested food, so the metabolic capacity is not sufficient. Under the changing circumstances, eating a lot of high-purine foods for a long time will lead to an increase in uric acid, which will induce gout.
Xiao Zhang usually likes to eat asparagus, saying that asparagus is low in calories and is the best choice during weight loss. In order to prevent weight gain, most of the vegetables he eats are asparagus. The doctor told Xiao Zhang that asparagus has a high purine content and is a high purine food. People with high uric acid will increase the risk of gout.
Protect the kidneys and reduce uric acid, two things should be done every day
1 .Pay attention to your diet
In addition to beer and asparagus, if you have high uric acid, you should eat less high-purine foods, including soy products, lamb, fungi and seafood. In addition, it is necessary to add more nutrients that help to reduce uric acid, such as alkaloids, inulin and other substances, to help regulate the stomach and promote the excretion of uric acid, so as to better reduce uric acid and protect our kidneys.
2. Proper exercise
Doctor Explain that friends with high uric acid should strengthen physical exercise properly, such as aerobic exercise such as jogging, Tai Chi, brisk walking, etc., insisting on it for about half an hour every day can promote metabolism and help the recovery of the disease to a certain extent.
