What should not be eaten if uric acid is high? Dietary precautions to keep in mind

The phenomenon of high uric acid is now very common. If this phenomenon occurs, you need to pay more attention to your diet. It is best not to eat animal offal, seafood, shellfish and other aquatic products, as well as foods with high protein and fat.

1

Animal offal: such as pancreas, liver, kidney, bone marrow, and large intestine (high in purine). Vegetables: spinach, radish, etc.

Special note: Because spinach and other plants are rich in oxalic acid, they can easily lead to an exponential increase in hyperoxaluria, causing a rapid increase in uric acid and increasing the burden on the kidneys.

2

Seafood, shellfish, etc.:

Special note: The reason why you cannot eat seafood, shellfish, green algae, such as lobster, crab, oysters, etc.: Because these foods are rich in polysaccharides, high protein, etc., these will increase the burden of kidney decomposition and increase uric acid, so they should not be eaten too much. However, some of these foods are rich in astaxanthin, the strongest antioxidant in nature, which can reduce the source of uric acid by 80%. How to "discard the dross and retain the essence"? The best way is for gout patients to supplement astaxanthin with pure products, and it is not advisable to supplement astaxanthin by "eating puffer fish at all costs" by eating the above foods.

3

Protein can be consumed in proportion to body weight. 0.8 to 1 gram of protein should be consumed for every 1 kilogram of body weight, and milk and eggs should be the main sources of protein. If it is lean meat, chicken, duck, etc., it should be boiled and then eaten without soup. Avoid eating stewed or braised meat.

4

Eat less fat, because fat can reduce the excretion of uric acid. For patients with gout and hyperlipidemia, fat intake should be controlled within 20 to 25% of total calories.

Causes of high uric acid

Excessive consumption of purine-rich foods If you consume excessive amounts of purine-rich foods for a long time without taking timely remedial measures, uric acid will accumulate excessively in the human body. Therefore, patients with high uric acid levels need to be alert to the dangers of high uric acid and strictly control their eating habits to prevent other complications, such as gout, uremia, etc.
