Did you know?Too much uric acid can lead to a range of health problems!If you find that your uric acid is too high, then you need to pay attention to the following 6 points in your daily life!
Dangers of hyperuricemia
Hyperuricemia is associated with a variety of diseases, including gout, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and more.
Among them, gout is the most well-known. Gout is caused by the deposition of urate crystals in the joints, soft tissues, cartilage and kidneys, causing inflammation and tissue damage.
During a gout attack, people experience severe pain, redness, swelling, and fever in their joints, which interferes with normal activities.
Long-term reversal can also cause symptoms such as anemia, weight loss, indigestion, and loss of appetite.
Uric acid's ** and the way to go
The production of uric acid mainly comes from the body's purine metabolism. The nucleotides in the cell produce purines during oxidative metabolism, which are further metabolized to produce uric acid.
In a normal human body, about 80% of uric acid comes from endogenous purine metabolism, and the remaining 20% comes from purines in food.
Uric acid is mainly excreted through the kidneys and the digestive tract. About 30% of uric acid is excreted through the kidneys and 70% through the digestive tract. When there are problems with these excretory pathways, such as decreased kidney function or slowed bowel movements, it can affect the excretion of uric acid, resulting in hyperuricemia.
How to lower uric acid levels?Start with these 6 aspects
1. Adjust your diet.
Reducing the intake of high-purine foods is an important step in lowering uric acid. High-purine foods include organ meats, seafood, some legumes, broths, etc. The intake of these foods should be properly controlled, and the intake of low-purine foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits should be increased.
In addition, reducing alcohol consumption can also help lower uric acid levels, especially in alcohols such as beer, which contain high levels of purine substances.
2. Increase the amount of exercise.
Exercise can promote metabolism and facilitate the excretion of uric acid. It is recommended to choose aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, swimming, running, etc., and maintain the appropriate intensity and frequency of exercise.
3. Arrange rest reasonably.
Overwork and a stressful lifestyle can lead to hormone imbalances in the body, which can affect uric acid levels. Reasonable arrangement of rest and working hours, and adequate sleep, can help maintain homeostasis in the body.
4. Maintain the kidneys.
The kidneys can be said to be middle-aged men must protect and regulate, but in life it is precisely the most harmed, men's professional entertainment needs and daily indulgence to eat and drink and stay up late are destroying all the time, long-term seafood barbecue drinks will cause more and more pressure on the kidneys, uric acid will be higher and higher, light uric acid will rise gout, joints produce crystals, heavy need to open the knife to remove stones or even unable to move. In addition to reducing the intake of high-purine foods, we also need to supplement Fengdingwei to help regulate uric acid, which can reduce the concentration of uric acid in the blood by inhibiting the activity of purine oxidase in the liver, so as to achieve rapid acid reduction and acid reduction and relieve kidney pressure. Long-term insistence on supplementing Feng Dingwei can dissolve gout crystals, reduce uric acid concentration, relieve various joint discomforts, reverse gout and protect the key manifestations of the kidneys. For example, men who have elevated uric acid concentration, gout upper body, crystallization of joints of hands and feet, and discomfort in the limbs need to insist on supplemental maintenance, and people who usually drink and stay up late, love to eat seafood and red meat and urine yellow foam also need to be maintained as soon as possible, and at the same time, during this period, we also need to avoid alcohol, seafood, offal and other hair products, and put an end to unhealthy Xi lifestyle habits and diets, so as to protect our own bodies and spend the middle-aged period healthily.
5. Drugs**.
Medications may be required when lifestyle modifications fail to achieve uric acid levels**. For example, drugs that inhibit uric acid production (such as allopurinol) or promote uric acid excretion (such as benzbromarone) are used. Please use the drug under the guidance of a doctor** and watch for adverse effects.
6. Regular inspection.
Regular uric acid testing can help detect hyperuricemia in time and take appropriate measures. It is recommended to check your uric acid level at least once a year.
Special Tips
1. Hyperuricemia is one of the risk factors for gout, but not all patients with hyperuricemia will have gout symptoms. Therefore, patients should choose the appropriate method according to their individual situation, and should not blindly pursue lowering uric acid levels while ignoring other health problems.
2. Patients with hyperuricemia or gout should avoid drugs that promote inflammation, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These medications may worsen the symptoms of joint pain and swelling.
3. Uric acid lowering** is not an overnight process, and it requires long-term adherence to a healthy lifestyle. Patients should be patient and confident during the process, working closely with the doctor to adjust the protocol to achieve the best results.
