Can gout patients drink milk?

Gout patients usually have many taboos in their diet. There are many foods that they cannot eat, especially some high-purine foods. Otherwise, it will only make their condition more serious and will recur, which will make the patients very painful. However, gout patients can drink milk, which has no harm.

Many people believe that milk must be heated. Even if it is sterilized milk, it must be boiled in a pot before drinking. In fact, the "milk scale" that sticks to the pot after the milk is boiled contains a lot of calcium, which causes serious nutritional loss. Sterilized milk is sterilized at ultra-high temperatures and can be consumed directly without heating within its shelf life.

For people with cold stomachs, drinking cold milk may stimulate excessive intestinal peristalsis and cause mild diarrhea. You may want to use a microwave or hot water to heat the sterilized milk until your hands feel a little hot before drinking it.

1. People with weak stomach:

That is, patients with impaired digestive function, who are prone to diarrhea or are currently suffering from diarrhea.

2. Patients with more phlegm and dampness:

For example, patients with bronchiectasis or acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, or patients with loss of appetite and abdominal distension.

3. Patients with food stagnation:

For example, patients who have recently overeaten fried, greasy or cold foods, or drank excessively.

4. People with overnutrition

Healthy tips for drinking milk: What to avoid when drinking milk

Avoid drinking milk and tea together. Some people like to drink milk and tea at the same time. This habit is more common in the south than in the north. In fact, this drinking method is not scientific, because milk is rich in calcium ions, and some ingredients in tea will hinder the absorption of calcium ions in the gastrointestinal tract and weaken the inherent nutrients of milk.

Avoid exposing milk to sunlight. The vitamin B in fresh milk will be quickly destroyed by sunlight. Therefore, it is best to store milk in colored or opaque containers and store it in a cool place.

Avoid using copper utensils to heat milk. Currently, copper is still used in some mid- to high-end tableware, such as copper hot pots, copper heating cups, etc. Copper can accelerate the destruction of vitamins, especially during the heating process. Copper catalyzes the chemical reactions in milk and accelerates the loss of nutrients.

Avoid eating oranges one hour before and after drinking milk because the protein in milk will coagulate once it meets the fruit acid in oranges, thus affecting the digestion and absorption of milk. It is also not advisable to eat other acidic fruits during this time period.
