The saturation concentration of urate in blood is 420μmol/L. Exceeding this value can cause urate crystallization. The precipitated urate crystals can be deposited in the joint cavity, renal tubules and blood vessels. Hyperuricemia is one of the risk factors for atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and cerebral infarction.
Dietary recommendations for hyperuricemia
1. You can drink coffee. There are studies showing that drinking coffee does not increase the risk of hyperuricemia and may reduce the risk of developing gout.
2. Edible fruits with less fructose and rich in potassium and vitamin C: cherries, strawberries, pineapples, watermelons, peaches, etc.
3. Vegetables rich in purines (lettuce, spinach, mushrooms, cauliflower, etc.), beans and soy products have no significant correlation with hyperuricemia and gout attacks.
4. Drink milk and dairy products, especially skim milk and low-calorie yogurt.
5. Those with normal heart and kidney function need to maintain proper body water, drink more water, and maintain the daily urine output of 2000-3000ml.
6. Avoid drinks containing fructose or sugar-sweetened soft drinks such as cola, orange juice, and apple juice.
7. It is forbidden to drink rice wine, beer and liquor. Whether red wine increases blood uric acid levels is controversial.
8. Exercise time: at least 150 minutes per week (30 minutes/day × 5 days/week); moderate intensity: Heart rate during exercise (220- age) × (50% to 70%) range. Strong exercise or a sudden cold can trigger a gout attack.
9. Smoking or passive smoking increases the risk of hyperuricemia and gout, so you should quit smoking and avoid passive smoking.
