People with high uric acid, remember: first limit, second low, third persistence, uric acid may return to the 'safety line'

Relevant data show that the incidence of hyperuricemia in China continues to rise, and the number of patients is now almost equal to that of diabetes, making it the fourth highest after hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia.

The formation of hyperuricemia is related to many factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, eating habits, drugs, etc. High uric acid is harmful to the body. Many people think that high uric acid does not need to be ignored if it does not develop into gout. This understanding is very important. Incorrect.

In addition to inducing gout, high uric acid is also an important cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and kidney diseases.

Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disease induced by purine metabolic disorders. Unlike the other three highs, the symptoms are more obvious. Hyperuricemia is very hidden and is usually only discovered during blood tests.

High uric acid and gout are not the same thing. Statistics show that only 5% to 12% of patients with high uric acid will eventually develop gout, and the development is slow, lasting for several years or decades. When symptoms appear in the body, it is often too late. It's too late.

How to reduce uric acid in daily life? Remember: first limit, second low, third persistence, uric acid will slowly return to the "safety line".

One limit: limit the intake of high purine foods

Hyperuricemia is a disorder of purine metabolism. If the daily intake of purine is not controlled, it is easy to induce excessive uric acid in the body. Common high-purine foods include animal offal, brain, thick broth, seafood, red meat, high-sugar drinks, etc. In addition, alcohol should also be prohibited. Although alcohol does not contain purine, it will seriously affect uric acid metabolism.

Two low: low fat, low protein diet

Maintaining a low-fat diet helps the body better excrete uric acid, and a low-protein diet is also conducive to maintaining uric acid stability. It is recommended that patients with high uric acid should have a daily fat intake of less than 50 grams, use as little cooking oil as possible, keep protein at 50-60 grams, and try to choose high-quality protein, such as dairy products and eggs.

Eat more foods that are good for stomach and digestion and low in purine content, such as mustard greens, cauliflower, radishes, onions, etc.

Three Persistence: insist on exercising, drinking water and taking medication

Insist on exercising: It is recommended to focus on low-to-medium-intensity aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, and playing badminton. These exercises can improve insulin resistance, enhance the body's ability to regulate, and improve the resistance of the kidneys and intestines to uric acid. In addition, it can protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, control blood lipids and blood pressure, so as to prevent complications of high uric acid.

Insist on drinking water: For patients with high uric acid, it is necessary to increase the amount of drinking water in daily life, because insufficient drinking water can easily lead to an increase in the concentration of dissolved uric acid in the urine, and it is easy to form urinary tract stones. In addition, drinking more water can promote more urination, and uric acid can be excreted with more urine, thereby effectively reducing the level of uric acid in the body.

Under normal circumstances, the daily water intake of patients with normal renal function is best controlled at 2000-2500 ml. Ordinary boiled water is enough. Of course, if you have the conditions, you can choose soda water, which helps to alkalize the urine.

Adhere to medication: For severe gout patients or those whose uric acid level is not well controlled, rational medication can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, after taking uric acid-lowering drugs, the excretion rate of uric acid will be accelerated, which is conducive to stabilizing the condition. However, it is not recommended for patients to increase or decrease the drug on their own, stop or replace it on their own, and it must be done under the doctor's advice.

The above is the daily method of lowering uric acid for high uric acid that I shared with you. I hope it can be helpful to you.
