With the popularity of the term 'changing acidic constitution', soda has become a widely recognized 'healthy beverage'. Even many gout patients hope to reduce uric acid by drinking more soda water. Is this really useful? Doctors remind that patients with gout and Hyperuricemia must be careful when drinking soda water. Why do gout patients get gout when they recommend eating this way? This principle is that when the level of uric acid in our blood continues to rise, exceeding the concentration that our body can withstand, there will be the precipitation of urate crystals, which will deposit on the surface of tissues and joints, causing gouty nephritis and gouty arthritis. In severe cases, a large amount of urate crystals can form gout stones, causing joint deformities, pain, and even ulcerative infections. How can we protect our bodies from gout? Let's first look at how gout and Hyperuricemia are formed. Gout is caused by Hyperuricemia. When our body's Purine metabolism is disturbed, our body will have high uric acid. And 20% of the purines in our body are ingested externally, which means they are ingested. Therefore, patients with high uric acid should not consume high purine foods, such as beef, lamb, seafood, or animal organs. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables, as well as high-quality proteins such as eggs. Drink two liters of water every day, but avoid touching two types of drinks. After finishing, let's talk about drinking. The first major type of drink is wine, whether red wine, yellow rice wine, beer or Baijiu, all contain ethanol. Ethanol can promote the production of uric acid from purines in the human body, while also preventing the excretion of uric acid from the body. The combination of these two factors can lead to uric acid accumulation in our body, and in severe cases, it can trigger gout. The second type is carbonated beverages. Everyone, this drink is colorful and beautiful, with so many flavors, it's so delicious. But carbonated drinks add a large amount of monosaccharides in order to pursue taste. Monosaccharides can cause obstacles in the excretion of uric acid in the human body, and excessive consumption can even cause damage to blood vessels. Therefore, it is not recommended to consume a large amount of carbonated beverages. After saying that you can't drink, let's see what you can drink. Coffee and tea can be consumed, but the concentration should not be too high. Light coffee and light tea should be consumed. Encourage everyone to drink more milk. Milk is a high-quality protein without purines. If conditions permit, a large amount of skimmed milk can help our bodies become healthier. It is recommended that gout patients drink more than 2000 milliliters of water per day. Unable to alkalize urine, high uric acid. Be cautious when drinking soda water. Finally, let's talk about soda water. During outpatient visits, some doctors prescribe sodium bicarbonate tablets to some patients in order to alkalize urine and promote the excretion of uric acid. Some patients said, 'Can I just drink soda water instead of taking medication?' The answer is no! Because when the pH of urine is greater than 6.2, alkaline urine is not necessary, and not all gout patients need to drink alkaline urine sodium bicarbonate tablets. When it comes to soda water, the content of sodium bicarbonate in soda water is negligible, and it cannot achieve the goal of alkalizing urine. And some sodium bicarbonate water will increase a large amount of high sodium and sugar in pursuit of taste, which is equivalent to the carbonated beverage I just mentioned, which will actually increase the risk of gout. So it hurts
