In recent years, China's economic development has been rapid, and the national living standard has also improved significantly, however, behind this development is a serious health problem.
Chronic diseases are widely spread in China, among which, in addition to the well-known "three highs", another disease known as the "fourth high" - high uric acid, is gradually becoming a problem for most middle-aged men in China.
The formation of high uric acid is closely related to people's living habits and dietary structure, modern people live at a fast pace, eat irregularly, and consume too much high-purine food, and the purines in these foods will produce a large amount of uric acid in the metabolic process.
With the improvement of modern living standards, the change of people's dietary structure, and the increase in the intake of high-purine diet, the uric acid level continues to rise, which is one of the important reasons for the increase in gout.
Poor lifestyle is also an important factor in the increase of gout, and the fast pace of modern life slows down the body's metabolism, which further exacerbates the risk of gout.
Some patients have comorbid gout, and these people themselves suffer from obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and the use of diuretics and other drugs. The presence of these diseases can also affect the metabolism of uric acid, leading to the occurrence of gout.
1.The crescent moon on the nail is reduced
I don't know if you have ever observed your fingers in your life, everyone will have a half-moon-shaped crescent at the root of their fingernails, which is also milky white.
It may seem like a very simple phenomenon, but it can be a reflection of the health of the body by observing the changes in the crescent moon. If you suddenly find that the color of the crescent moon becomes lighter or even smaller within a period of time, it is likely to be a sign of elevated uric acid, and you need to pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time.
2.Red, swollen, burning finger joints
When the concentration of uric acid in the blood increases, urate crystals are produced and deposited in the joints of the body, causing an inflammatory response. The thumb joint is the most commonly used and most strained part, and it is also the most prone to gout.
During a gout attack, the pain in the thumb is severe, the inability to grasp things, the joint is red and swollen, there is a burning sensation, and the pain is worse when you press with your hands.
If you usually find that your finger joints are thickened, you should pay more attention, which may be caused by the increase in uric acid, and pay attention to the changes in uric acid.
3.Thick fingers
If the fingers are thick and swollen in a short period of time, it is most likely caused by high uric acid. The uric acid in the body cannot be metabolized, so it accumulates in the body for a long time, which seriously affects the acid-base balance of the human body.
Endocrine disorders do not allow normal metabolism, and uric acid mixed into the blood accumulates in various parts of the body, leading to the appearance of thick fingers.
4.Small blisters often appear on the hands
In fact, there are very few in autumn and winter, mostly in summer, but when small blisters appear on the hands, most people will think that it is caused by excessive moisture in the body, in fact, it may also be caused by high uric acid. Because high uric acid will cause a decrease in kidney function, toxins in the body cannot be excreted in time, so small blisters will appear.
5.Knuckles become larger
As the uric acid level in the body continues to rise, crystals will form in the joints, resulting in the gradual enlargement of the joints of the human body, which look abnormally swollen, and the finger joints are thick, red and swollen.
People with high uric acid in the body often have edema, due to the increasing water in the body, the body will also become bloated, and the fingers will become extraordinarily thick.
If you eat mutton often in your life, it will promote the continuous increase of uric acid, so you should control the intake of mutton. There is another kind of food, which is also preferred, and its purine content is 16 times that of mutton, that is, white ribbon fish skin.
The purine content of leucortaina fish skin is 3509mg 100g, and basically all fish skin purine content is very high, which is a forbidden food for gout patients or hyperuricemia patients, as well as patients with allergic diseases. Therefore, it is best to eat less or even no food, so as to better stabilize the uric acid value in the body.
1.Cucumbers
Cucumber is also a relatively common alkaline food, cucumber contains a very high amount of vitamin C, which is not comparable to ordinary vegetables, and also contains a lot of water and potassium salt. Eating cucumber can not only detoxify diuretic, remove heat, and quench thirst, but also excrete excess uric acid in the body to avoid gout. 
2.Lemon
Lemon is a relatively acidic food, and many people avoid it, but lemon can lower uric acid. It can be cut into thin slices and used to soak in water to drink, which can promote the excretion of oil and purines in the body, and can also soften blood vessels, reduce blood sugar and blood pressure, which is of great help to the human body.
3.Barley
Most people have eaten barley, and those who know it know that barley is a medicinal and edible food, and the purine content in barley is also relatively low, which is a good news for patients with high uric acid.
The coarse fiber contained in barley can promote the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, help to excrete uric acid from the body, and achieve the effect of preventing and relieving gout.
4.Apples
Apples, also known as the "king of fruits", are alkaline foods. Contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and rich in potassium. In addition, potassium can also help the human body produce excessive acidity, improve the body's acid-alkaline environment, alkalize urine, and also promote the dissolution and excretion of uric acid.
5.Corn
Corn is the favorite of young people, corn is a coarse grain, many people like to use corn instead of staple food, and there is a strong sense of satiety after eating corn. At the same time, corn has a high nutritional value, which can promote metabolism, help the discharge of waste in the body, and prevent accumulation.
Corn helps to regulate the acid-base balance in the human body, and has the effect of clearing heat and diuresis. Especially for patients with high uric acid, eating more corn can help the body reduce the amount of uric acid in the body.
In conclusion, lamb contains high levels of purines, and eating too much of it will increase the production of uric acid, which may pose a health risk to people with high uric acid.
Doctors recommend that people with high uric acid eat less mutton and leucornius skin, control the intake of other high-purine foods, and control uric acid levels through reasonable dietary adjustments, maintaining appropriate weight and exercise. Only in this way can we stay healthy and free from uric acid-related diseases.
