However, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more ordinary people began to have high uric acid problems frequently, and they became younger and younger.
The reason of high uric acid has a great relationship with our diet and living habits, and it will greatly affect the immune level, so for health, we need to reduce uric acid to normal level.
0 1, what is uric acid?
What harm does uric acid have on the high side?
Some people think that uric acid is a toxin. In fact, uric acid is formed by the decomposition of purine bodies, and purine is a nucleic acid substance component existing in the nuclei or chromosomes of animals and plants.
Purine will produce uric acid after thermal metabolism, so it is not a toxin, but one of the final products of normal metabolism of human body.
Under normal circumstances, our body will excrete excess uric acid, but if there is too much uric acid, or if there is an obstacle in our body's uric acid metabolism, it will lead to excessive accumulation of uric acid in the body, leading to high uric acid.
What harm does long-term high uric acid have to human body? We generally know that high uric acid will crystallize in the joints of the body, leading to gout.
In fact, long-term high uric acid is not good for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and is an "invisible killer". High uric acid can also cause kidney calculi's disease and urinary calculi, which is still very harmful to health.
02. Factors affecting hyperuricemia
Long-term high uric acid is very harmful to health, especially gout, which is extremely painful.
Under normal circumstances, the human body can normally metabolize excess uric acid and maintain a healthy state. So what is the reason, the body can't metabolize uric acid, which leads to the increase of uric acid?
Only by knowing the reason can we reasonably prevent and control the increase of uric acid. Let's have a look!
1, the daily food calorie intake is too high.
Excessive dietary total calorie intake will lead to an increase in uric acid value. Therefore, obesity is one of the risk factors of hyperuricemia.
2. Excessive mental stress
Being under high mental stress for a long time will lead to problems in the metabolic process in the human body and increase uric acid.
3, excessive exercise
Moderate exercise is very positive for health, but excessive exercise is harmful to health. In particular, strenuous exercise promotes the metabolism of muscles and brain cells, cell destruction, and causes uric acid to rise.
4, excessive consumption of high purine food
High purine food is equal to the "raw material" of uric acid. Long-term excessive consumption will lead to an increase in uric acid when the human body cannot metabolize so much uric acid.
5, drug action
Taking certain drugs can also lead to an increase in uric acid.
03, a limit, two low, three persistence.
Uric acid slowly stabilized.
There are many reasons for high uric acid, but if you want it to fall down smoothly, you need to start with diet and living habits.
One is to avoid the stability of uric acid in the diet, and the other is to promote the excretion of uric acid to avoid its retention in the body and affect health.
In order to keep uric acid in a stable state, it is necessary to follow the principle of one limit, two lows and three persistence.
1, a limit
Limit the consumption of foods with high purine content and try to be suitable for people with high uric acid. Here, like everyone in science, you need to know what low-purine food is.
Generally speaking, low purine food refers to food containing less than 25mg of purine per 100g. So what are the common hypopurine foods?
Staple food: corn, rice, sorghum, macaroni, pasta, potatoes.
Milk: milk, cheese.
Meat: white meat, eggs, pig blood, duck blood, etc.
Vegetables and fruits: Most fruits and vegetables are low-purine foods and can be safely eaten.
Drinks: carbonated drinks, green tea, fruit juice, coffee, soda water.
Snacks: melon seeds, dried fruits, honey, chocolate, jelly, desserts, etc.
Seafood: jellyfish, seaweed.
2, 2 low
For friends with high uric acid, try to adhere to the principle of two lows in diet. That is, low-fat and low-protein diet.
Because a low-fat diet can help the human body to better excrete excess uric acid, a low-protein diet helps to keep healthy and keep uric acid stable.
It is suggested that people with high uric acid should not consume more than 50g of fat and 20g of edible oil every day. Protein should consume 50 ~ 60g daily, while protein mainly consumes milk and egg white.
Eat more vegetables and fruits every day, because vegetables and fruits are alkaline foods, which is beneficial to neutralize uric acid and avoid uric acid deposition in the body.
3, 3 insist
Insist on drinking more water; Insist on more exercise; Insist on not drinking alcoholic beverages such as beer.
The word "persistence" seems simple, but it contains people's persistent perseverance and firm belief.
Long-term high uric acid is very harmful to our health, but many people do not pay enough attention to it. They still eat whatever they want and drink whatever they want, leaving a great hidden danger to their health. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you must stick to healthy habits.
Friends with high uric acid should insist on drinking enough water every day, and drinking 2000~3000ml of water every day will help to shoot uric acid.
At the same time, we should insist on doing more exercise. Because exercise can strengthen our physique, enhance our immunity and help our body restore the balance of metabolism, but an occasional exercise can not play a role in health care, and we must persist for a long time to see the effect.
Finally, insist on not drinking alcoholic beverages such as beer. Because alcohol can cause the accumulation of lactic acid in the body, and lactic acid can competitively inhibit uric acid excretion, so that uric acid cannot be discharged smoothly, resulting in an increase in uric acid content in the body.
