According to the data, in recent years, the trend of rejuvenation with high uric acid has become increasingly obvious.
As soon as high uric acid appears, gout will also appear.
The so-called gout mainly refers to the disease caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals in the bones and joints caused by the high level of uric acid in the body.
Don’t underestimate this little gout, it’s fine when it doesn’t attack, but it’s much worse than a toothache once it does. No wonder foreigners always compare it to biting you all the time. Foot demon.
Gout patients have no special symptoms in the early stage. When the uric acid crystals in the body form a certain scale, severe pain will occur in various joints of the body, which usually lasts for 3-5 days until the symptoms disappear.
Why is the level of uric acid in the body too high?
One reason is that the patient has a congenital uric acid excretion disorder, and the other reason is that the body cannot excrete uric acid normally due to a long-term high-purine diet, so it is deposited in the body.
The attack of gout is not only related to the deposition of uric acid, but also has a certain relationship with the season. For example, summer is the season of frequent gout.
In summer, gout is more likely to be induced
In the hot summer, the number of patients in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology has gradually increased, and most of them are gout patients. The reason why gout is easy to occur in summer is mainly due to these two reasons:
First, sweating a lot
The characteristic of summer is the high temperature, which leads to People sweat a lot, especially those who work outdoors or like to exercise.
If you happen to suffer from gout, when the body sweats a lot, it will accelerate the deposition and crystallization of uric acid in the body. Compared with other seasons, gout is more likely to occur in summer.
Second, diet
Summer is the peak period of the catering industry, with crayfish, malatang, cold beer, etc. It is a high purine food.
In addition to eating too much and overeating every day, the number of gout attacks will also increase.
After all, late night in summer is a good time to eat seafood and barbecue Suffering….
If you want to say goodbye to gout in summer, you have to Do these things well:
1. Drink plenty of water
The way uric acid is excreted is through the urine, and you want to reduce the uric acid in the body Level, it is necessary to increase the frequency of urination, drinking more water is the best way to prevent gout.
Gout patients must add more than 2000ml of water every day in summer, just boiled water or pure water, no need to deliberately pursue other water quality such as mineral water.
2. Eat the right foods
Seafood, meat, and animal offal are all high-purine foods, and it is best not to eat them for gout patients.
It should be noted that many vegetables are also high purine killers, such as bean sprouts, spinach, cauliflower, etc. You must eat foods that suit you, such as egg and milk products, nuts and staple foods.
3. Refuse drinks and drinks
beer , beverages and even ice cream cold drinks will indirectly increase the content of uric acid in the body, gout patients must refuse all beverages and drinks. Make sure your uric acid levels in your body tend to be stable.

They all say to drink more water, what kind of water can gout patients drink?
Drinking water seems to be such a simple and trivial matter, but it requires a lot of attention to detail, especially for gout patients.
The most suitable water for gout patients to drink is mainly 2 points—-Alkaline, low calorie.
Alkaline water helps to alkalize the urine, When the pH value of the patient’s urine increases, the solubility of uric acid gradually increases, which in turn helps the excretion of uric acid in the body .
If the water that gout patients drink contains a lot of sugar and other energy substances, it will inevitably increase the patient’s calorie excess, induce obesity, and is not conducive to the control of high uric acid.
Therefore, in order to meet these two characteristics, soda water is the most ideal choice.
Because soda water contains sodium bicarbonate, the water contains dissociated bicarbonate ions and is alkaline, which helps patients with gout to alkalize urine and better excrete uric acid .
If the patient does not like the taste of soda water, then boiled water and light tea water are also excellent choices for replenishing water.
