The scientific name of hyperuricemia is hyperuricemia, which means that under the normal purine diet, the blood uric acid level of men is higher than 420μmol/L and that of women is higher than 360 μ mol/L. Under normal circumstances, if you don't eat hot pot, beef and mutton, beer and seafood the day before, the uric acid is still higher than the above blood uric acid level, then you will suffer from hyperuricemia.
Hyperuricemia is a chronic disease. Although not terrible, it is the direct cause of gout. Everyone may have heard of gout, which is the joint pain caused by gout stones accumulated at the joint of the big toe. It hurts when touched lightly. In severe cases, excessive accumulation of gout stones will make the body lose limb function, so it will also cause irreversible damage to joints.
Hyperuricemia is a chronic disease. Hyperuricemia is not formed in a day, and the treatment of hyperuricemia is certainly not completed in a day.
In addition to drug control of high uric acid, we can also pay attention to our daily diet, try to avoid eating high purine food and drink as much water as possible, at least 3 liters of water a day. Generally, it is more than growth water, and weak alkaline water can be selected.
In addition, no beef and mutton, beer with seafood, clear soup, barbecue and the like. Treating hyperuricemia is a protracted war. In order not to affect our life, we should not eat any meat. If the purine is not very high, you can eat some chickens and ducks properly and don't touch the fasting food mentioned above.
According to statistics, the incidence of gout is very different between hyperuricemia patients who eat cherries and hyperuricemia patients who don't eat cherries. The incidence of gout in patients with hyperuricemia who eat cherries for about two days is about 30% lower than that in people who don't eat cherries, and eating cherries during gout can also relieve inflammation appropriately.
Therefore, eating cherries is an effective method to treat gout and stabilize hyperuricemia, and it is appropriate to eat about ten cherries every day. Avoid eating cherries when getting angry or taking medicine, because cherry nucleolus contains cyanosides, which produce hydrocyanic acid after hydrolysis, so it is not advisable to eat more.
Why does watermelon relieve uric acid? Because watermelon not only contains no purine, but also is rich in vitamin C and potassium, vitamin C can reduce uric acid, and potassium can better promote the excretion of urate, so watermelon can help gout patients quickly dissolve gout stones in their bodies and play an auxiliary role in the treatment of gout. It can also accelerate the metabolism and diuresis of the body and accelerate the excretion of uric acid.
But it should be noted that watermelon is high in sugar and calories. If it is only high uric acid, watermelon is not taboo, but if it suffers from hyperglycemia at the same time, the intake of watermelon must be controlled. In addition, people who reduce fat should also properly control the intake of watermelon. Too much sugar is not good for us to lose fat.
