What to do with gout after eating seafood? How can eating seafood relieve gout?

Seafood is a very common food in life, and proper consumption can bring many benefits to the human body, but there are also many things to pay attention to, so what to do if you eat seafood gout? How can eating seafood relieve gout? Eating seafood can cause gout, which is mainly caused by improper diet, so let's learn more about the specific solutions.

1. The cause of gout by eating seafood

Seafood contains a large amount of purines and glycotides, and many foods contain more vitamin B1, especially beer drunk with seafood, which is more likely to promote the absorption of purines and glycotides, and then converted into uric acid after digestion, which can cause gout.

2. What should I do if I eat seafood gout?

(1) Drink plenty of water

The blood contains more urate, which is the main cause of gout, after eating seafood, drink a lot of water, drink more than 2000ml~2500ml of water every day, can promote uric acid elimination from the body, relieve gout.

(2) Eat more vegetables and fruits

Vegetables and fruits contain more vitamin A and vitamin C, both of which are powerful antioxidants that can slow down the precipitation of urate, but it should be noted that some vegetables and fruits contain more oxalic acid and are not suitable for consumption, such as cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms and persimmons.

(3) Drink soda

Baking soda is a weakly alkaline food, and it is not toxic and neutral, sodium bicarbonate and urate will react, which can promote urate dissolution and relieve gout.

3. How to eat seafood without gout

Purines and glycotides contained in seafood are the main substances in the production of uric acid, and blanching seafood with boiling water before cooking can effectively remove purines and glycotides in some seafood, reduce the production of uric acid after eating, and prevent gout.

4. Who is not suitable for eating seafood?

1. Seafood is mostly cold, eating it will increase the cold of the spleen and stomach, and it is easy to indigestion, so it is not suitable for people with cold constitution and women who are menstruating.

2. Seafood contains a lot of protein and is also a highly allergenic food, so it is not suitable for people with allergies to eat it, so as not to cause allergies.

3. Seafood contains more purines and glycotides, which are easy to cause gout, so people with gout are not suitable for eating.

5. Instructions for eating seafood

1. Eating seafood and fruits together will cause abdominal pain

Seafood such as fish, shrimp, and crab are rich in nutrients such as protein and calcium (calcium food). If you eat fruit immediately after eating seafood, it will not only affect the body's absorption of protein, but also combine the calcium in seafood with tannin in fruit to form insoluble calcium, which will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and even cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. It is best to wait more than 2 hours before eating.

2. Drinking tea after eating seafood grows stones

The reason why you should not drink tea after eating seafood is similar to the reason why you should not eat fruit. Because tea also contains tannic acid, it can also form insoluble calcium with calcium in seafood. Eating seafood before or after eating it increases the chance of calcium combining with tannic acid. Therefore, it is best not to drink tea while eating seafood. In the same way, it is best to wait at least 2 hours.

3. Undercooked seafood contains bacteria

The pathogens in seafood are mainly Vibrio parahaemolyticus, etc., which have strong heat resistance and can only be killed at more than 80 °C. In addition to bacteria brought in by the water, parasite eggs and bacterial and viral contamination from processing can also be present in seafood.Generally speaking, boiling in boiling water for 4-5 minutes is considered to be completely sterilized. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious when eating seafood that is not cooked without heating, such as "drunken crab", "raw sea urchin", and "soy sauce (oil) pickled seafood", and to ensure that the fish is fresh and hygienic when eating sashimi.

4. Chilled shrimp should not be boiled

Any seafood can only be steamed or boiled when it is in a highly fresh state. Unlike meat, seafood has a lot of bacteria that are resistant to low temperatures, and proteins break down very quickly. If it is placed in the refrigerator for a long time, the bacterial content of the shrimp body increases, and the protein has been partially denatured, producing amines, no matter what, it cannot achieve the taste, flavor and safety of live shrimp, and of course, it is not suitable for blanched eating. However, chilled shrimp can be stir-fried or fried at high temperatures, and they can also be delicious.

5. Seafood vitamin C can be poisoned when eaten together

A variety of seafood, such as shrimp, crabs, clams, oysters, etc., contain the chemical element arsenic. In general, the levels are small, but increasing environmental pollution may cause high levels of arsenic in these animals. The valency of arsenic contained in shrimp is pentavalent, and under normal circumstances, pentavalent arsenic is not harmful to the human body. Theoretically, high doses of vitamin C (more than 500 mg of vitamin C at one time) and pentavalent arsenic will be transformed into toxic trivalent arsenic (i.e., "arsenic" as we often call it) after a complex chemical reaction, which can lead to human poisoning when the trivalent arsenic reaches a certain dose.

According to professionals, a large dose of vitamin C will only be consumed if you consume 50 medium-sized apples (apple food) or 30 pears or 10 oranges at one time or eat more than 3 catties of green leafy vegetables (vegetable food) raw. If the cooking process is heated, the vitamin C in the food will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is not dangerous to eat fruits or vegetables at the same time as seafood, as long as the above amount is not exceeded. Metallic elements are easy to deposit on the head of seafood, so try not to eat shrimp heads and fish heads.

6. Refrigerate the packaged seafood

If the seafood has been cooked thoroughly at high temperatures, simply put it in the refrigerator and serve it after the meal is warmed up. If the seafood has not been sufficiently heated, but it has died, it should be put in the refrigerator, thawed before the next meal, and then cooked thoroughly, so as not to crave the taste of the raw taste. Because the protein texture of seafood is delicate and breaks down quickly, it should be eaten within a day after taking it home, and should not be stored for a long time.

7. There are many dead shellfish toxins

Shellfish itself has a relatively high amount of bacteria, and the protein decomposes quickly, and once it dies, it will multiply a large number of bacteria and produce toxins, and the unsaturated fatty acids contained in it are also easy to oxidize rancidity. Stale shellfish also produce more amines and free radicals, which pose a threat to human health (health food). After buying live scallops, you should not store them at home for too long, and cook them as soon as possible. People with allergies should be especially careful, because sometimes allergic reactions are caused not by the seafood itself, but by substances that are involved in the breakdown of seafood proteins (protein foods).

8. Eating seafood and beer together causes gout

It's best not to drink beer while eating seafood. Shrimp, crab and other seafood will form uric acid after metabolism in the human body, and excessive uric acid will cause gout,kidney stoneand other conditions. If you eat a lot of seafood and drink beer at the same time, it will accelerate the formation of uric acid in the body. Therefore, when eating a lot of seafood, never drink beer, otherwise it will have adverse effects on the body.
