How to eat during an acute attack of gout?

Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of living conditions, coupled with the fact that many people do not pay attention to their diet and often eat and drink too much, gout is caused. Gout has become an increasingly common disease. Patients with edema should pay great attention to their daily diet to avoid aggravating their condition. So, how should you eat during an acute attack of gout?

Avoid eating foods rich in purines. Gout is caused by purine metabolism disorder, so gout patients should not eat this kind of food to avoid inducing gout. Foods rich in purine, such as various animal offal, meat soup, various meats, bone marrow, shrimp, various beans, peanuts, spinach, cauliflower, mushrooms, brown rice, semolina, whole wheat flakes, etc. should be prohibited from consumption.

Control protein and fat intake. Gout is closely related to obesity and hyperlipidemia, so actively controlling the intake of fat and protein has a positive significance for preventing gout attacks. The patient's diet should be mainly light alkaline vegetarian food, and they can eat more milk and eggs with low purine content. Animal oils are prohibited.

Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Gout patients should pay attention to drinking more water, which is beneficial to the excretion of uric acid. Because foods such as tobacco, alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and chili peppers can induce or aggravate gout, they should be avoided. Drinking enough water can also reduce blood viscosity, which is beneficial for preventing gout complications. But we must pay attention to drinking water scientifically and reasonably.

In addition to drug treatment, gout patients should pay close attention to their daily diet and develop good living and eating habits, which can also play a certain positive and effective role in alleviating the condition.
