High uric acid is a common metabolic disease, with the improvement of people's living standards and changes in dietary structure, high uric acid has gradually become an "epidemic". Many people panic when they learn that they have high uric acid, but there is no need to worry too much, because high uric acid does not necessarily mean gout or renal insufficiency. As long as we pay attention to the following points, we can effectively reduce uric acid levels and protect our health.
1. Control your diet.
Diet is one of the main causes of high uric acid, so controlling your diet is an important measure to lower uric acid. Try to avoid high-purine foods, such as organ meats, seafood, meat, etc., and reduce the intake of fats and salts. It is recommended to eat more low-purine, low-calorie, low-fat, and low-salt foods such as vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and low-fat foods. In addition, drinking plenty of water can promote the excretion of uric acid and reduce uric acid levels.
2. Increase the amount of exercise.
Exercise can promote the body's metabolism, enhance one's own physique, and also help the body to excrete excess uric acid. It is recommended to choose a moderate amount of aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., 3-5 times a week, each time for more than 30 minutes. It should be noted that exercise should be moderate and not overdone to avoid harm to the body.
3. Control your weight.
Obesity is another important cause of high uric acid, obesity can cause abnormalities in the body's metabolism and affect the excretion of uric acid. Therefore, weight control is also one of the important measures to reduce uric acid. It is advisable to control your weight within the normal range through a reasonable diet and moderate exercise.
4. Avoid overwork.
Overexertion can cause abnormalities in the body's metabolism and affect the excretion of uric acid. Therefore, avoiding overexertion is also one of the important measures to lower uric acid. It is recommended to ensure sufficient sleep time every day, arrange work and life reasonably, and achieve a combination of work and rest.
5. Regular inspections.
Regular uric acid testing can help you know your uric acid level in time and take timely action if you find any abnormalities. It is recommended to have an annual uric acid test, and people with a family history or high-risk factors should pay more attention to their uric acid levels.
In short, following the above five points, combined with a scientific diet, can indeed effectively reduce uric acid levels and protect your health. In terms of diet, it is absolutely wise to choose oats, a high-quality ingredient. Oats are not only rich in dietary fiber, but also can help intestinal peristalsis and clean up waste from the body, and the pectin and -glucan in them combine with uric acid to form water-soluble substances, thereby reducing uric acid levels. What's even more rare is that oats are relatively low in purines and do not aggravate gout symptoms.
