How to prevent gout

Gout is a common clinical disease. Many reasons may cause gout, which has a great impact on people's physical health and will cause obvious pain symptoms. The vast majority of gout patients have very high purine levels in their bodies, which is related to their diet. When it comes to gout, prevention is important in addition to treatment. So how to prevent gout?

1. Take rest and avoid fatigue

Prevent cold and overwork. Cold and overwork can cause autonomic nervous system disorders, leading to vasoconstriction on the surface of the body and internal organs. Vasoconstriction reduces uric acid excretion.

2. Diet

In terms of diet, you should eat less animal offal, fish and foods with high purine content such as pork, beef, mutton, ham, sausage, chicken, duck, goose, rabbit, fish, shrimp, spinach, beans, mushrooms, etc. Peanuts should also be eaten less. Don't drink too much, especially beer. You should drink plenty of water, eat more leavened foods, alkaline porridge (which can promote uric acid excretion) and all root vegetables. Fruits are basically edible

3. Avoid the three highs

Preventing hyperlipidemia Hyperlipidemia can not only cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also cause metabolic disorders, affect uric acid excretion and cause gout. The main method is to control diet and eat low-fat, light and easily digestible food.

4. Avoid alcohol

Avoid excessive drinking, especially beer and seafood. If you eat them together for a long time, it will often cause a decrease in purine excretion and cause gout.

5. Obesity prevention

Control your weight and prevent obesity because obesity is mostly caused by metabolic disorders due to unreasonable diet. Controlling weight mainly involves controlling diet and increasing exercise

6. Exercise

Exercise should be appropriate, and avoid strenuous exercise. Lactic acid produced by strenuous exercise can inhibit the excretion of uric acid by the renal tubules, causing an increase in uric acid in the blood. Increased sweating can also reduce blood volume, which in turn reduces the amount of uric acid excreted by the kidneys, leading to gout.

7. To prevent hyperlipidemia, gout patients should regularly measure blood lipids

If the blood lipid concentration is high, you first need to control your diet, consume low-fat foods, avoid high-fat foods, and take lipid-lowering drugs when necessary to restore blood lipids to normal, reduce cardiovascular complications, and prevent gout attacks.
