A gout attack is better than death, and a small prescription of Chinese medicine will help you alleviate it
There is a kind of pain that makes people heartbreaking, life is worse than death, and some people even say that it is comparable to the pain of giving birth, this pain is called "gout".
How painful is gout? Some people want to be hit by bricks in pain, and some people feel like pins and needles, in short, they can't live in pain, and they want to die.
According to the latest statistics of China Broadcasting Network, there are 180 million patients with hyperuricemia in China, which has become the fourth major risk factor for health after hypertension, high blood sugar and high blood lipids.
Today I would like to recommend a few small recipes for gout, which are very simple, but can quickly reach the lesion and reduce the pain at the onset of the disease.
Formula: 180 grams of raw barley, 30 grams of mulberry branches, 4 walnuts, 1000 ml of water.
Method: Soak several things together in water for 1 hour, boil for 20 minutes, and fry for 30 minutes after boiling, until only about 400 ml.
Usage: Filter out the medicinal decoction, take 400 ml of medicinal juice on an empty stomach twice in the morning and evening, it can be effective in one day, and drink it for about 3 days to relieve the symptoms.
Efficacy: Relieves heat paralysis caused by gout.
Organizers:30 grams of papaya, 30 grams of dried plantain, 20 grams of coix seeds.
Method: Decoction for 20 minutes, after removing the slag, it can be used as tea. At first, it is best to stick to it for a week, 3 times a day is more effective, and later it can be drunk according to the specific treatment of the individual.
Efficacy: This is the dietary prescription given by Professor Liu Xiangyuan of Peking University to gout patients in "The Road to Health", which has a good effect on the treatment of gout, and the taste of this recipe has the fragrance of papaya, which is delicious and can lower uric acid, unlike general Chinese medicine, which is difficult to swallow and cannot be adhered to, which can be said to be the gospel of gout.
Ingredients: 150 grams of loofah, 5 grams of green tea, 1 green onion, appropriate amount of salt.
Method: Peel the loofah and cut it into 1 cm thick slices; Wash the green onions, cut into sections and set aside; Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, first put in the loofah, green onion and salt, wait for the loofah to boil soft, and then add green tea to soak to taste.
Efficacy: This formula has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and channeling, and diuretic, and has a certain relieving effect on gout, but it can only be used as an adjuvant treatment, not as a substitute for medicine.
Reminder: Loofah tea soup should not be drunk on an empty stomach or after meals, and patients with anemia and menstruating women should drink it with caution.
In addition to dietary therapy, the most important thing for gout is to cooperate with diet and lifestyle adjustments.
The general dietary principle is "one limit and three lows", that is, a diet that restricts purines, low calories, low fat, and low protein. Specifically, in terms of lifestyle, the following principles should be followed:
1. Limit alcohol consumption;
2. Reduce the intake of high-purine foods, such as raw seafood, large fish and meat, and animal offal;
3. Prevent strenuous exercise or sudden cold;
4. Reduce the intake of fructose-rich beverages;
5. Drink plenty of water (more than 2000 ml per day);
6. Control weight, reduce fat accumulation, and improve metabolic function;
7. Increase the intake of fresh vegetables;
8. Regular diet and rest;
9. Exercise regularly, choose moderate-intensity exercises such as walking and jogging;
10. No smoking.
1 seafood
Seafood with high purine content includes anchovies, sardines, hairtail, herring, mackerel, oysters, clams, scallops, etc.
2 offal
Compared with seafood, animal offal contains more purines, but because people eat little per meal on average, sometimes the impact is not as great as seafood. Patients who are in the stage of a gout attack should abstain from eating animal offal.
3 stock
When the meat is boiled into a broth, the fat content of the soup increases dramatically, and because it is an acidic environment, it is not conducive to the excretion of uric acid.
4 beer
Beer itself is not a high-purine food, but it prevents the excretion of uric acid, so it is more likely to induce gout when eaten with high-purine seafood.
5. High-protein foods other than eggs and milk
Most high-protein foods contain more nuclear protein, which can be broken down into uric acid in the body, and excessive intake may induce gout.
Although eggs and milk are also high-protein foods, they are not high in nuclear protein, so gout patients can eat them with confidence.
Although tofu is also a high-protein food, due to the addition of a large amount of water, the nuclear protein content per unit mass of tofu has dropped significantly, and it can be eaten as long as it is not during a gout attack.
6. High-fat foods
Excessive fat accumulation can lead to obesity and affect the normal metabolism of purines; In addition, the oily environment also affects the metabolic excretion of purines. Patients with high uric acid should be cautious about eating high-fat foods, such as fatty meats, fried foods, cream cakes, etc.
7. High-sugar foods
A study published by the University of British Columbia, Canada, showed that high intake of sugary drinks, fruits and juices will increase the risk of gout, and gout patients should also be cautious about eating them.
