Can gout patients eat yogurt?

When eating, gout patients must pay attention to eating foods that contain less purine, because gout is mainly a disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism in the body. Yogurt should be a milk drink that most people like to drink very much, because yogurt is fermented from milk, it contains the nutritional value of milk and lacks the fishy smell of milk. But can gout patients drink yogurt?

1. Gout patients can drink some yogurt, because milk and yogurt are low-purine foods, so gout patients can drink them, and it will not have any bad effects or impact on the patient's condition. Don't be overly nervous. As long as they are low-purine foods, it’s no problem for patients to eat more. You can also eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as: cabbage, carrots, rapeseed, green leafy vegetables, cherries, peaches, grapes, watermelons, apples, mangoes, etc. Among vegetables, it’s best not to eat spinach. Spinach will contain a certain amount of purine, and eating too much will have some bad effects.

2. Eating more bananas, cantaloupes, pineapples, hawthorns, pomegranates, oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, lemons, bayberries, loquats, figs and other fruits will also be good. They are also rich in vitamins and will be beneficial to the patient's physical recovery. In particular, you can eat more fruits with diuretic effects, which can increase urine flow, help dilute uric acid, accelerate excretion, and lower uric acid levels. Patients especially need to drink more boiled water, which will have a better effect. It is best not to drink soups, especially broth, fish soup, etc., because the soup contains a lot of purine ingredients. Drinking it will not only fail to dilute uric acid, but will cause increased uric acid, which will affect the patient's physical condition.

3. In addition to drinking some milk and yogurt, patients can also eat more alkaline foods and less acidic foods. They also need to actively participate in some sports in daily life, and try to do yoga, slow walking, strolling, jogging and other aerobic exercises. These will enhance the patient's physical fitness and speed up the effect of treatment. Avoid strenuous exercise. They also need to avoid contact with seafood and spicy foods. It is better for patients not to eat any food with added irritating condiments.

Finally, gout patients are not forbidden to eat anything. Drinking more nutritious foods such as yogurt will be beneficial to the body. You can also drink more fruit juice, especially pure natural fruit juice without additives, avoid drinking carbonated drinks, and avoid drinking coffee and strong tea.
