In recent years, with the change of modern people's lifestyle and dietary structure, the number of patients with high uric acid has been increasing year by year.
The correlation between high uric acid and morbidity has attracted much attention, and the increasing incidence of high uric acid has become a global health problem.
Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic syndrome that is mainly due to increased urate production, or impaired excretion, or may be due to a combination of both.
In general, the normal range of uric acid is 240-420 mol L for adult males and between 240-360 mol L for adult females.
However, in postmenopausal women, uric acid levels may increase due to decreased estrogen levels, but generally do not exceed 420 moll.
In addition, in children and adolescents, the normal range of uric acid is 3-5 mg dl, which is 180-300 mol l.
1.Dietary factors
If you usually eat some purine-rich foods in excess for a long time, it will lead to excessive accumulation of uric acid in the human body, resulting in high uric acid.
Therefore, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, especially for patients with high uric acid, we should strictly control the diet and avoid eating high-purine foods to prevent some complications, such as gout and uremia.
2.Disorders of the metabolism of purine substances
Purine metabolism disorders cause a decrease in uric acid excretion, and the abnormal renal metabolic function of patients also plays an important role, and the inhibition of renal tubular secretion will cause metabolites in the body to block the excretion and reabsorption of uric acid.
Decreased glomerular filtration can also lead to an increase in uric acid, and some diabetics tend to show increased tubular reabsorption when they are dehydrated**, which can also lead to hyperuricemia.
3.Special diseases
An important cause of high uric acid is disease, especially kidney related diseases, if there is a problem with kidney function, it will cause uric acid to rise.
The main function of the kidneys is to discharge the waste products produced by the body's metabolic activities, if the kidney function is damaged, there is no way to excrete uric acid from the body in time, and the uric acid in the blood will rise. In addition to this, diabetes, obesity, etc. may lead to high uric acid.
Onions are a very common food, and when eaten raw, they feel a little spicy, but when cooked, they have a hint of sweetness, which not only tastes good, but also has a lot of nutritional and medicinal value.
People with high uric acid can eat more onions, because onions are alkaline foods and will not cause an increase in blood uric acid, and at the same time, they can control blood sugar, blood pressure, blood lipids, etc. by eating onions in moderation to avoid the symptoms of hyperuricemia.
Onions can not only inhibit uric acid, but also play a role in protecting heart health, increasing appetite, aiding digestion, fighting bacteria and viruses.
Clinically, if there is gout and high uric acid, some drugs that can promote the excretion of uric acid can be used to relieve the symptoms of gout.
1.Alcoholic beverages
High-sugar drinks contain a lot of fructose and glucose, which can synthesize purines in the liver, further leading to high uric acid.
At the same time, the fructose in high-sugar drinks can also promote the synthesis of purines, which leads to the continuous increase of uric acid levels, so that the human body has various symptoms of high uric acid.
The sugar in high-sugar beverages can also lead to health problems such as obesity and diabetes, which can further affect the metabolism and excretion of uric acid.
2.Seafood intake
Seafood is high in purines. Purine is a compound found in food that is converted into uric acid in the body when we consume purine-rich foods.
In seafood, shellfish, fish, shrimp, etc. are rich in protein and nutrients, but they are also rich in purines. For people who are prone to elevated uric acid, excessive intake of seafood may increase the burden of uric acid accumulation and excretion.
Nucleic acids are the basic units that make up the nucleic acid skeleton of cells, and long-term excessive intake of nucleic acids will increase the production of uric acid.
3.Soy products
Some soy products such as tofu, dried tofu, soybean paste, etc., although their nutritional value is very high, but the purine content in this kind of food is also quite high.
The elevated uric acid can easily affect the health of the kidneys and cause gout, so people with poor kidneys should stay away from soy products.
1.Drink plenty of water
In life, we must develop the habit of drinking more water, the body is fully hydrated, the kidney function can function normally, and the excretion function can be improved, and a large amount of uric acid will also be metabolized with the urine, which will play a role in reducing uric acid.
So, how much water should you drink in a day for people with high uric acid?Under normal circumstances, people drink 1500-2000ml of water every day, and people with high uric acid should reach more than 2000ml.
It is recommended that everyone stay away from beverages, milk tea, alcohol, ice water and other drinks that cause elevated uric acid, and drink more soda, weak tea, or plain water.
2.Quit smoking and alcohol
Quitting smoking and alcohol is also important to prevent elevated uric acid. The chemicals in tobacco directly affect the metabolism and excretion of uric acid. The harmful substances in tobacco smoke can interfere with the function of the kidneys, making them unable to filter uric acid effectively.
This leads to the accumulation of uric acid in the body, increasing the risk of elevated uric acid. In addition, the chemicals in tobacco smoke can also cause the acidity of body fluids to increase, further exacerbating the accumulation of uric acid.
3.Insist on abdominal breathing
By retesting your breathing and practicing your belly puff up when you inhale, you can meet enough oxygen**. Whether it's normal energy metabolism or purine metabolism, more uric acid is produced in a state of hypoxia. Negative emotions such as nervousness and stress can also deprive our bodies of oxygen.
In particular, it is reminded that the hypoxia state of modern people is widespread, causing metabolic disorders and lactic acid accumulation, so it is necessary to do more abdominal breathing and aerobic exercise.
4.30 minutes of exercise a day
Patients with high uric acid should also pay attention to insisting on appropriate exercise in life, and insisting on exercising every day can help enhance some of their abilities and promote the excretion of toxins and uric acid in the body.
Especially for patients with high uric acid, insisting on 30 minutes of exercise every day is conducive to promoting the excretion of uric acid and preventing gout.
