What do I need to pay attention to during gout?

Gout is a metabolic disease caused by high levels of uric acid in the body. In daily life, patients should pay attention to the adjustment of diet and lifestyle habits.

1. Pay attention to diet: avoid eating high-purine foods such as animal offal, seafood, etc.; limit alcohol and sugary beverages; Drink plenty of water to promote uric acid excretion;

2. Weight control: obesity is one of the important factors leading to the increase of serum uric acid, and weight should be strictly controlled during the treatment process, and appropriate exercise should be maintained;

3. Quit smoking and limit alcohol: Smoking will increase the risk of gout, and alcohol will affect the efficacy of drugs and aggravate the condition, so it is necessary to minimize or completely stop smoking and drinking habits;

4. Regular work and rest: ensuring sufficient sleep time can help the body recover, and at the same time can reduce pain symptoms;

5. Actively participate in physical activities: Moderate aerobic exercise can help reduce the uric acid content in the body, but strenuous exercise may induce arthritis attacks, so it is recommended to choose low-intensity exercise, such as walking, jogging or yoga.

For people with gout, they should maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a reasonable diet, exercising moderately, having regular check-ups and taking medication as prescribed by a doctor. If you experience any symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
