Is hyperuricemia serious?

High uric acid is a relatively common phenomenon. Nowadays, more and more people are troubled by gout, and no good solution has been found. In fact, there is no need to worry when encountering this problem. Just pay attention to controlling your body and ensuring your health to avoid this problem.

Nowadays more and more people are suffering from gout. Gout is caused by problems with purine metabolism in the body, resulting in excessive production of uric acid. When uric acid cannot be completely excreted, too much urate will be deposited in the blood and tissues, especially in the joints (mostly in the big toe joint of the foot, followed by the ankle joint, instep, knee joint, and even joints throughout the body), causing swelling and pain. The onset of gout is closely related to physical constitution and diet.

Since purine comes partly from food, in addition to using drugs to promote uric acid excretion and inhibit uric acid formation, a low-purine diet is also necessary. The dietary principles for gout patients include: controlling weight and avoiding being overweight; avoiding overeating; appropriately supplementing vitamin E; eating more alkaline foods, especially vegetable juice and salt-free tomato juice; drinking plenty of water to promote the excretion of uric acid and prevent kidney stones. Here is a dietary remedy that can relieve gout to a certain extent.

How to make loofah soup:

Prepare 150 grams of loofah, 5 grams of green tea or tea bags, 1 scallion, and appropriate amount of salt. Peel the loofah and cut it into 1 cm thick slices; wash the green onions, cut them into sections and set aside; put appropriate amount of water in the pot, first put in the loofah, green onions and salt, after the loofah is cooked soft, add green tea to soak it in flavor. This recipe has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and unblocking meridians, and promoting diuresis. It should not be consumed on an empty stomach or after a meal. Anemia patients and women during menstruation should drink it with caution.

Modern nutrition and pharmacology research shows that loofah is rich in nutrients, containing a large amount of vitamins, minerals, plant mucus, xylan gum and other substances. It also has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and diuretic effects. The main components of green tea are tea polyphenols, caffeine, lipopolysaccharide, theanine, etc. It has the effects of refreshing the mind, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, digesting food and reducing phlegm, removing greasiness and losing weight, clearing the mind and relieving restlessness. Caffeine can stimulate the kidneys, promote the rapid excretion of urine, increase the kidney's filtration rate, and reduce the retention of harmful substances. Therefore, loofah tea has the effect of accelerating the excretion of uric acid and avoiding the formation of uric acid, and can be used as an auxiliary medicinal diet for gout patients.
