7. Causes of gout
1, genetic factors
Gout is a hereditary metabolic disease with obvious genetic tendency. People with a family history of gout are prone to gout if they don't pay attention to their eating habits. The main reason is that these people lack an enzyme and cannot excrete uric acid, a purine metabolite in food, in time, resulting in excessive accumulation of uric acid in the body. The increase of uric acid in blood will form crystals and deposit on joints, causing inflammation, thus causing severe pain.
2. Gender factor
Gout patients are 95% male, and they are over 30 years old. Many young people like to eat raw seafood and drink beer, so they are prone to gout. Estrogen in women can promote the excretion of uric acid, so the probability of gout in women is much lower than that in men. However, after entering menopause, with the decrease of female estrogen level, gout will also occur if there is too much meat intake in the diet.
3. Living habits
Irregular life, often staying up late, staying up all night, etc. This irregular lifestyle will disrupt the "biological clock" rhythm of the human body, cause metabolic disorder, aggravate the acidity of the constitution, and then easily form gout.
4. Mental stress factors
Among mental workers, there are many people suffering from gout, mainly because of the heavy pressure of daily work and mental stress, which leads to physical and mental fatigue. Lack of proper physical exercise in leisure time will lead to the decline of physiological functions of various organs of the body, thus affecting the discharge of metabolic wastes in the body, making body fluids acidic, and at the same time buying the bane of gout.
5. Unreasonable diet structure
If you don't pay attention to the rationality of the diet structure, eating foods with high fat, high protein and high sugar will cause overnutrition, make people's lipid metabolism function disorder, cause insulin resistance in the body, and produce hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, etc., which is very easy to add fuel to the fire by ventilation. In particular, eating a lot of meat, fish, shrimp and shellfish rich in purine, drinking and overeating will produce too many acidic substances in the metabolic process of the body. However, if hematuria exceeds the self-regulation level of the human body, it is easy to induce gout.
6. Unfavorable external stimulus
Carelessness in daily life leads to cold or cold stimulation, joint trauma, etc. These conditions are also one of the factors that lead to gout attacks.
