During the Chinese New Year, after having had a big dinner, we will have a variety of gatherings. There may be friends that haven’t been seen for a long time, as well as rare relatives. At these parties, food is old and traditional. As for meat, there is a saying that "every holiday season is fat. If a healthy person eats this food, he or she will not be able to tolerate it. What about gout patients?
Gout is due to deposition of monosodium urate and is associated with hyperuricemia, which is mainly due to reduced purine metabolism and/or reduced uric acid excretion. Gout patients are generally common in middle-aged people, but now that people’s living conditions are getting better and better, young people are beginning to suffer from gout. In the face of food during the Chinese New Year, gout patients need to exercise restraint. Patients with gout can eat what they can not eat.
Gout patients should not eat foods with high purine content, because purines are oxidized into uric acid in the human body. So here's a comparison of purine content in foods.
1. High-purine foods, that is, 100-1000 milligrams of purine in 100 grams of food
Meat: viscera (including heart, brain, liver, kidney, pancreas) gravy, thick broth, chicken broth, meat extract
Seafood: sardines, tail fish, salmon, caviar, shrimp, seaweed
Soy products: soy products
Edible mushrooms: mushrooms
2. Medium purine foods, that is, 75-100 mg purine in 100 g foods
Meat: pork, beef, smoked ham, beef tongue, rabbit meat, venison, duck, pigeon, turkey, quail, pheasant
Seafood: squid, squid, squid, halibut, barracuda, squid, squid, shellfish
3. Less purine foods, that is, less than 75 mg purine contained in 100 grams of food
Meat: bacon, ham, mutton, chicken, beef soup
Seafood: squid, squid, herring, tuna, whitefish, squid, crab, oyster, lobster
Vegetables: Spinach, Asparagus, Cauliflower
Edible mushroom: Mushroom
Staple food: bread, cereal, whole grains
4. Very few purine foods
Vegetables: In addition to the few vegetables mentioned above, most of the remaining vegetables have low purine content.
Staple food: In addition to the previously mentioned staple foods, most of the remaining staple foods have a low purine content.
Fruits, egg products, dairy products, oils: These foods have low purine content
So isn't gout patients free to eat high-purine foods, and other foods can be eaten at will?
This is not the case. In addition to not eating high-purine foods, patients with gout should also exercise restraint on high-fat foods because excessive intake of fat will prevent the body's kidneys from discharging uric acid, and should ingest more vegetables. Fruits, dairy products, fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, which can dissolve the deposited urate, and the purine content in dairy products is very low, which can supplement the human body needs protein and other nutrients. And need to drink plenty of water to promote the body's uric acid excretion.
