An 8-year-old boy with gout has trouble walking. When the doctor found out about his three-meal menu, he was speechless.
Dr. Zhuang Yujing from Cheng Yue Chinese Medicine Clinic shared the เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย case, where the 8-year-old boy had a body mass index (BMI) of 27 (whereas the ideal BMI is 18.5 – 24.9) and was limping. After examination, it was found that the boy not only had gout but also other chronic diseases.
From the history, it was found that the child’s three daily meals consisted of only “stewed pork” as a single dish.
Doctor Zhuang Yujing pointed out that gout is a warning sign of abnormal uric acid metabolism, and improper diet is one of the main causes. Regularly eating a lot of fish, meat, drinking alcohol and high-quality food can lead to latent gout. Modern lifestyles, such as sleeping late and lack of exercise. Also reduce the efficiency of metabolism and accelerate the occurrence of gout.
In particular, when food is broken down, purines are formed, which are converted to uric acid. When uric acid accumulates in excess, it can cause gout. Organ meats, sauces, and red meat can increase the risk of gout. Alcoholic beverages that contain fructose also stimulate the production of uric acid.
Spinach, mushrooms, peanuts, cashews and other nuts. As well as fermented foods such as yogurt, are high in purines, but Dr. Chuang said that due to their nutritional value. They can be eaten in moderation.
However, patients diagnosed with gout should consult a doctor and nutritionist to develop an appropriate diet plan to avoid gout flare-ups due to food choices mistakes.
Dr. Zhuang Yujing observed that there are four groups of people who are likely to develop gout:
- People who often have cold hands and feet
- People with high stress
- People who have uncontrollable eating behaviors
- Overweight and obese people
In addition, a sedentary lifestyle for a long time, irregular work and rest, poor sleep quality, and low water intake are all factors that affect uric acid metabolism.
