High uric acid urine

High uric acid is a problem that many people have. This disease is mainly divided into two types: one is asymptomatic hyperuricemia and the other is acute hyperuricemia arthritis. Although the two symptoms are different in specific manifestations, they can both be controlled through some methods. In addition, patients with high uric acid also need to pay special attention to their diet. Below we will introduce you to some detailed knowledge about high uric acid!

1. Symptoms

1. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia: Blood tests may reveal an increased blood uric acid concentration, but no clinical symptoms such as arthritis, hyperuricemia or kidney stones appear. During this period, it is generally difficult to detect unless a test is done. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia may last for 10 to 20 years, and some people may never develop hyperuricemia throughout their lives. Generally speaking, the higher the blood uric acid level, the greater the risk of hyperuricemia.

2. Acute hyperuricemia arthritis: It can occur in all seasons, but is most common in spring and autumn. Local joint injury, overeating and drinking, excessive fatigue, damp and cold, certain medications, infection and surgical operations can all trigger acute attacks. These factors can cause the already supersaturated uric acid to form needle-shaped crystals that are deposited in the synovial fluid of the joints. The crystals are regarded as foreign by the white blood cells in the body and are phagocytosed. After being phagocytosed, inflammatory factors are released, causing acute attacks.

2. Control Methods

1. Do appropriate aerobic exercise, but avoid strenuous exercise to avoid overstraining the joints. It is best to choose aerobic exercises such as swimming, Tai Chi, and table tennis to lose weight.

2. Drink more boiled water or light tea. It is best to control the daily urine output to around 2000ml. Westerners often drink apple cider vinegar regularly to lower uric acid. Do not drink strong tea, coffee or sweetened drinks.

3. Eat more vegetarian food, but not all vegetarian food. Eat more purple eggplant, Shanghai greens, and lettuce. Avoid spinach as a green vegetable, and eat less or no beans at all. Eat more fruits. Various fruits are composed of carbohydrates, which have a positive effect on making the body alkaline, especially eating more cherries.

4. Eat less meat. Why don’t I say “don’t eat meat”? Of course you need to eat some meat. Animal fat and animal protein are irreplaceable by other foods and are also necessary for the human body, but you must control the amount! Seafood, animal offal and hot pot are strictly prohibited (fish is of course a river fish, so you can eat less and drink more water after eating). Otherwise, if you eat meat excessively, all your efforts will be wasted.

5. Beer is definitely taboo! Other alcoholic beverages are not allowed or are strictly limited.

6. Develop the habit of soaking your feet in hot water every day or frequently. It is best to use an automatically heated footbath. Each time, soak for no less than 20 minutes and no more than 30 minutes. It is best if you can wash until your whole body sweats slightly. When washing your feet, you can add some Chinese medicine that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

3. Dietary precautions

1. Adequate amounts of carbohydrates and fats should be provided. If there is no adverse effect on the heart and kidneys, you should drink more water.

2. Cooking methods mostly include stewing, boiling, simmering, steaming, blanching, etc., and frying and deep-frying are rarely used. Food should be as digestible as possible.

3. Choose more foods rich in vitamin B1 and vitamin C. Available foods: rice, noodles, milk, eggs, fruits and various vegetable oils.

4. All vegetables except asparagus, celery, cauliflower and spinach are edible.

5. Animal offal, fish roe, bone marrow, sardines, oysters, shrimp skin, mackerel, mussels, minced meat, liver, kidney, brain, clams, crabs, fish, broth, chicken soup, peas, lentils, mushrooms, etc., various strong condiments and foods that increase nerve excitement such as alcohol, tea, coffee, spicy foods, etc. are prohibited.

6. Maintain an ideal weight. If you are overweight or obese, you should lose weight. However, weight loss should be gradual, otherwise it may easily lead to ketosis or acute gout attacks.

7. Carbohydrates can promote the excretion of uric acid. Patients can eat rice, steamed buns, pasta, etc. that are rich in carbohydrates.
