How to prevent and treat gout? Three measures are most effective

In daily life, gout is a disease that is very harmful, so people need to take active protective measures in their daily lives. So, how to prevent and treat gout?

1. Drink more water and less soup

People with high blood uric acid and gout patients should drink more boiled water and less meat broth, fish broth, chicken broth, hot pot soup, etc. The osmotic pressure of boiled water is most conducive to dissolving various harmful substances in the body. Drinking more boiled water can dilute uric acid, accelerate excretion, and lower uric acid levels. Soup contains a large amount of purine components, which not only fails to dilute uric acid but instead causes an increase in uric acid.

2. Eat more alkaline foods

Eat less acidic food. Gout patients have purine metabolism disorders and abnormal uric acid. If they eat too much acidic food, it will aggravate the condition and is not conducive to recovery. Eating more alkaline food can help supplement potassium, sodium and chloride ions and maintain acid-base balance.

3. Eat more vegetables and less rice

Eating more vegetables can help reduce purine intake, increase vitamin C, and increase fiber. Eating less can help control calorie intake, limit weight, lose weight, and reduce fat.
