It has to be said that in recent years, with the rapid rise of mainland industry, the quality of life and diet of the people have made a qualitative leap.
But it is because of this change that it has also left a breakthrough for some diseases, such as "hyperuricemia" is one of them.
Although its appearance is related to genetics, sex, age and other factors, it is more affected by the way of life and diet.
The so-called hyperuricemia is actually a metabolic disorder disease, which refers to the abnormal production or metabolism of blood uric acid in the human body, resulting in a large amount of uric acid accumulation in the body and induced diseases.
According to relevant data surveys, the total number of people suffering from hyperuricemia in the mainland has reached nearly 120 million people, accounting for nearly 10% of the total population!
In mainland China, the vast majority of patients with hyperuricemia are in the asymptomatic period, that is, there is no physical reaction, and only in an accidental physical examination, the blood uric acid level exceeds the standard.
However, this does not mean that hyperuricemia is not harmful, as everyone knows, it is one of the high risk factors for promoting gout, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, and kidney damage.
In particular, hyperuric acid and gout are closely related, which is the basis for the onset of gout.
Therefore, once diagnosed with hyperuricemia, it should be adjusted according to the doctor's recommendations, the most important of which is a therapeutic lifestyle change, and the patient should start from the diet to improve, and it is necessary to do the following three points:
1, low purine diet: uric acid is actually the terminal product of purine metabolism, and the source of human purines mainly has two categories, the first is the internal generation of purine substances, that is, endogenous purines.
The second is the purine that the patient ingests through food, and after these foods enter the body, the purine substance will eventually be metabolized into uric acid.
Therefore, after the diagnosis of hyperuricemia, patients should maintain a low-purine diet and avoid eating animal offal, red meat, seafood, various soups and other types of high-purine foods;
2, abstinence from alcohol: alcohol has a very large impact on hyperuricemia, because some fermented alcoholic beverages originally contain very high purine components, such as beer, rice wine, etc., at the same time, ethanol can also be degraded into adenosine monophosphate by increasing ATP, promoting the further production of uric acid.
Not only that, after alcohol enters the human body, its metabolism will produce a large amount of lactic acid, which will competitively inhibit the ability of the renal tubules to excrete uric acid.
Moreover, in the process of daily drinking, people often eat some high-purine foods, which also indirectly increases the level of blood uric acid;
3, drink more water: under normal circumstances, the human body has about 1200mg of uric acid, and the daily newly generated and excreted uric acid shows a positive proportion, that is, a state of dynamic balance. The channel through which the human body excretes uric acid is actually the production of uric acid through the kidneys.
Therefore, for patients whose blood uric acid level has exceeded the normal standard, the amount of water should be appropriately increased in daily life, so as to promote the rapid production of urine by the kidneys and excrete uric acid metabolism.
Science suggests that patients with hyperuricemia should drink at least 2000-3000ml of water per day.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that lifestyle changes are only the first step in controlling the growth of uric acid.
If hyperuricemia has been combined with gout, in order to reduce the incidence of gout, if necessary, the patient should take relevant uric acid-lowering drugs according to the doctor's recommendations, so that the blood uric acid level gradually stabilizes, and the patient should also seek regular medical attention for review.
