The 'accomplice' of gout has been found, and I reminded again and again: drink less of this water, otherwise uric acid will be difficult to reduce

I don't know since when, carbonated drinks have been dubbed "Fat House Happy Water"!

More and more young people are captured by carbonated beverages. Open a bottle of bubbling beverages in hot summer, and the troubles seem to be gone!

Even though there are many rumors about the health crisis of carbonated beverages, it still can't resist the fat man's desire to be happy.

However, in recent years, with clinical investigations, it has been found that carbonated beverages not only induce obesity, but also have a relationship with gout!

Gout is one of the "wealthy diseases" with high incidence in recent years. Studies have shown that there are more than 80 million gout patients in China, and in recent years, there has been a trend of younger people, and more and more young and middle-aged people are starting to Troubled by gout, it often attacks suddenly in the middle of the night, causing the patient to suffer endlessly, holding his big toe and starting to repent!

The reason for gout disease is to mention a substance called "uric acid". Under normal circumstances, the uric acid generated by the human body and the uric acid metabolized every day are always in a dynamic balance, and the organs that metabolize uric acid It's the kidneys. When the metabolism of uric acid in the body is disordered and a large amount of uric acid accumulates, a disease called hyperuricemia will be induced;

The continuously elevated blood uric acid will continue to precipitate urate crystals and accumulate in the joints and kidneys of people, eventually causing gout attacks. Patients will have redness, swelling, inflammation, pain and other manifestations in the joints, often with the big toe joint as the first symptom.

The uric acid metabolism disorder is mainly divided into two situations, the first one is caused by genetic inheritance. Single-gene genetic diseases can affect key enzymes in the uric acid metabolism pathway, and SNPs can lead to differences in uric acid transporters and inflammatory responses. In other words, people born with genetic defects are more prone to hyperuricemia and gout;

In addition, acquired eating habits are also one of the murderers of high uric acid. That is to say, excessive intake of purine-containing foods, such as seafood, wine, animal offal, etc., are typical high-purine foods. After entering the body, purines will be rapidly metabolized into uric acid, resulting in excess blood uric acid. The elevated level lays the foundation for gout attacks.

Since purine is the killer of gout attacks, what does it have to do with carbonated drinks? Obviously carbonated drinks are not high purine ranks!

Although carbonated drinks do not contain many purines, carbonated drinks have a bigger problem. It is fructose syrup, which is called "fructose" for short. This ingredient is a murderer that causes obesity and induces the emergence of three high diseases, and is also a factor that increases uric acid and damages the kidneys;

Because fructose will increase the production of endogenous purine substances in the process of entering the human body's metabolism, and the excessive production of purine substances will be further converted into uric acid in the body, resulting in an increase in blood uric acid levels. Moreover, in the process of renal metabolism, fructose will inhibit the excretion of uric acid, which will induce hyperuricemia over time;

In addition, there is often a large amount of phosphoric acid in carbonated beverages, and phosphoric acid will promote the excretion of calcium in the urine, which not only easily induces osteoporosis, but also inhibits the metabolism of uric acid, causing a large amount of uric acid to accumulate in the blood. The precipitated uric acid crystals will also be deposited in the patient's kidneys, and together with the precipitation of calcium and phosphorus elements, it is easy to induce kidney stones.

Therefore, while Fat House Happy Water brings you happiness, it also costs your health! In order to avoid gout and kidney damage from finding yourself, you should try to reduce the consumption of carbonated beverages in your life, especially pay attention not to let carbonated beverages replace water, otherwise diseases may come to you in the future.
