Attention to diet has limited effect on gout treatment, but it is also basic and essential.
At present, it is believed that sodium in salt can promote uric acid precipitation. For gout patients suffering from hypertension at the same time, excessive salt intake will also affect blood pressure control.
As for edible oil, it is also necessary to limit it. Excessive edible oil will increase the risk of obesity, which is also an important factor affecting gout control.
Gout doctors will tell you again how to use oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other seasonings healthily in daily life for gout friends.
Oil
The daily amount of edible oil for gout should be 25 ~ 30g, so as to promote nutritional balance, improve body function and improve nutritional status.
Daily cooking can be measured by the white porcelain spoon for soup, two and a half spoons are almost 25-30g. You can also use oil limit spoons to master the amount of oil used. Common oil limit spoons include 5ml, 15ml, etc. (about 5g, 15g).
Salt
Salt contains neither purine nor calories. From these two aspects, high uric acid or gout can be eaten like others.
However, many gout is accompanied by obesity and hypertension. In this case, the amount of salt should be limited. Generally, the amount of salt used for hypertension can be referred to. No more than 5 grams per day, about the amount of a beer cover. If you feel that the food tastes too light, you can add onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings to improve the taste when cooking.
Sauce
Most soy sauce is brewed from soybeans. After the preparation process, the purine contained in soy sauce is not high, and it is plant purine. Therefore, the problem of [hidden salt] in soy sauce needs to be considered for high uric acid and gout.
According to < < China Food Composition Table > >, the sodium content of 6 ~ 10g soy sauce is equivalent to 1g salt. If soy sauce is ingested too much, it is equivalent to excessive salt intake.
Vinegar
Although vinegar is sour, it has nothing to do with uric acid and gout can be eaten safely.
Of course, don’t believe those [so-called health vinegar]. Many people think vinegar has the functions of reducing blood lipid, cholesterol, blood pressure, softening blood vessels, preventing coronary heart disease, and maintaining acid-base balance in the body.
In fact, the vast majority of vinegar is water, and the main component except water is acetic acid, which is a common organic acid and is converted into carbon dioxide and water after metabolism in the body and discharged out of the body. Therefore, it does not have the above functions.
As for the other substances contained in vinegar, most of them can be found in ordinary food, while the content in vinegar is very small, and the consumption is very small, so it has no effect.
Although vinegar is good, it is not recommended to eat it in excess, usually 5 ~ 20ml per day.
Chicken essence
Chicken essence has a high purine content, so gout patients should eat less or try not to eat it.
First of all, let’s talk about the ingredients contained in chicken essence. According to the industry standard of chicken essence seasoning, chicken essence seasoning is usually made of monosodium glutamate, flavoring nucleotides, organic acid salts, sugar and spices, and some also contain chicken essence and yeast extracts.
There are two reasons why chicken essence is not recommended for gout:
- The final metabolite of nucleotides in chicken essence is uric acid. Eating too much chicken essence will affect uric acid control and even aggravate gout. Chicken essence itself contains high salt content, which is especially unfavorable to gout patients, especially gout patients complicated with hypertension and renal insufficiency.
Fermented bean product seasoning
Douchi, fermented bean curd, bean paste, etc. are all fermented bean products, which are usually fermented from soybeans or soybean products.
Although the purine content in soybean is relatively high, there is no need to worry too much because it is plant purine. However, the salt content in lobster sauce and fermented bean curd is usually very high. Attention should be paid to the good amount when eating.
