One. Gout can not eat sweets for the reason

1. The executive director of the Dalian Nutrition Society and the chief physician of the nutrition department of a hospital of Dalian Medical University pointed out that whether healthy people or gout patients, eating a large amount of fructose can cause an increase in blood uric acid, and the increase in blood uric acid in gout patients is more obvious.

The reason is that the increase in fructose content in the blood will lead to the accelerated release of purines due to the breakdown of ATP, which will eventually be metabolized into uric acid, which will increase the blood uric acid. Studies have found that people who consume more than 50 grams of fructose per day (equivalent to 2-3 cans of beverages) have a 2-4 times higher risk of gout than those who consume less than 10 grams per day.

2. The fructose content in honey is as high as 49%. Therefore, patients with gout should not consume honey in large quantities. In addition to honey, some processed foods such as sweets, biscuits, snacks, desserts, beverages, etc., also contain more fructose. People with gout should eat less of these foods. Even sucrose, which contains half of fructose in the molecule, also has the effect of promoting the increase of blood uric acid.

Since fructose syrup and sucrose are the main sources of sweetness in everyday sweets, a variety of sugar-sweetened beverages and foods can promote the development of gout. However, only when the amount of fructose is ingested, its effect on promoting the increase of blood uric acid is more obvious, and a small intake of fructose does not produce the same effect.

Therefore, sweets are contraindicated for gout patients, but fruits are eaten in moderation because fruits have less fructose.

Two. Gout dietary choices

1. For those foods containing purines, it is best not to eat, do not consume a little, beans, meat, these foods are not low in purines, it is recommended that people with gout do not eat, you can use some fish instead.

2. Eat some fruits with high vitamin content every day and drink water regularly, which helps to eliminate toxic substances in the body, and this can enhance the internal circulation of the body.

3. For their own diet should also be properly controlled, not every meal to eat too full, in the morning try to thin things, so as to reduce blood lipids, it is best to drink a bowl of porridge at night, do not eat too full at noon, this is the dietary rules of gout people, do not overeat, in the end it is easy to cause some other diseases, resulting in various inflammation.

4. People with gout must quit drinking, because alcohol contains more purines, which cannot be reached by other food content, and drinking a lot of alcohol will prevent the excretion of acids in the body. Sometimes, it will allow the factors that cause gout to remain in the body, you may wish to drink more water to increase the excretion of urine, for people with gout, water is the most unique drink.
