The summer weather is hot and easy to sweat, and while the water evaporates a lot, be careful of gout! The doctor reminds that gout is usually caused by eating too much high-calorie food in winter, while gout is caused by insufficient drinking water and slow metabolism in summer. In addition, will air-conditioning in summer induce gouty arthritis?
Hong Yongxiang, a nephrologist, said that both summer and winter can be said to be the seasons for gout. In winter, it is because of the intake of high-calorie foods. Many cases of excessive uric acid occur in winter; in summer, uric acid is more likely to occur. Calcium stones are caused by lack of water and sweating. That is to say, it is easy to be dehydrated in summer, and sweat a lot on hot days, resulting in a high uric acid concentration.
Why not drinking enough water can cause gout? Hong Yongxiang explained that because the food of Goplin will be metabolized into uric acid, and the occurrence of gout is because of the crystal deposition of uric acid, which causes gouty arthritis. Uric acid will be deposited in our muscles, ligaments, kidneys, etc., and will be deposited everywhere. And more than 70% to 80% of the uric acid is metabolized by the kidneys, "so drink more water, the metabolism will be faster, drink less water, the metabolism will be slow", which is mainly the cause of gout in summer.
And everyone knows that big fish and meat, seafood, mushrooms, viscera and other foods are all high in purin, Hong Yongxiang said, but in summer usually the appetite is not good, and there may be less purin food, unless Drinking beer with seafood may cause gout attacks.
In addition, blowing cold air in summer will not cause gout attacks to induce joint pain? Hong YongXiang said that the onset of gouty arthritis was clinically found to be related to alcohol, sugar-sweetened beverages, and fried foods. As for whether blowing air-conditioning would induce it, he believed that it was not a problem of temperature, but in an air-conditioned environment. If you have a cool body, you will not feel thirsty. Instead, you will not be drinking enough water, which will cause the metabolism of uric acid to slow down. It is not that the cold air blows to the joints and causes gout attacks. Therefore, the conclusion is that there is a problem of insufficient water intake.
Hong Yongxiang emphasized that it is not necessarily necessary to take medicine. He also reminded that summer is very important, not only the problem of uric acid and gout, but also urinary tract infections, kidney stones, heat stroke, etc., are all related to drinking too little water, so you must drink more water in summer.
"Gout" can kill people when it hurts! How to improve gout through diet? Dietitian Lin Licen has been teaching nutrition health education in grassroots clinics for several years. She is often asked about the diet of gout. She also sorted out the following 6 dietary suggestions for your reference:
The average water intake is: per kilogram of body weight × 30-40cc. If you have ever suffered from gout, remember to increase the amount of water you drink to help metabolize uric acid.
A balanced intake of protein foods, do not eat large amounts. Purin is the product of nuclear protein metabolism, and protein-rich foods such as animal offal (chicken liver, duck liver, pig liver, etc.), dried small fish, red meat, etc.; if it is a plant, the content of the sprouting part is more. , such as germ, soybean sprouts, bean sprouts, etc., as well as mushrooms, asparagus, seaweed, etc. to reduce intake.
Lin Licen mentioned that a well-known foreign magazine has published a 12-year follow-up result of 730 gout cases, pointing out that the usual "appropriate" amount of Goplin plant or soybean plant-based protein will not increase the chance of gout , on the contrary, "a lot" of meat and seafood will increase the chance of gout.
Especially those who have suffered from gout must avoid food, especially beer.
High-fat foods can inhibit the metabolism of uric acid, so pay attention to the amount of cooking oil and reduce the intake of fried foods. During the acute attack period, protein foods are recommended to be supplied by eggs and dairy products; high-protein concentrates such as broth, chicken essence, clam essence, etc., as well as yeast powder, healthy sugar, etc. should be eaten less!
Obesity also aggravates hyperuricemia and increases the risk of gout attacks. Therefore, "weight management" is also a top priority for the prevention of gout. But don't rush to lose weight, let alone an intense diet to lose weight, which will cause the body cells to break down rapidly, and the uric acid concentration will increase too much in a short time, which will cause hyperuricemia.
