Gout is a disease associated with infringement of metabolism, when the amount of excess uric acid accumulates in the body.Uric acid salts (sodium veins) begin to be stored in the joints, leading to their inflammation, and other organs.
In the risk zone are people who use large quantity meat, spicy dishes that abuse alcoholic beverages.Other factors related to the development of the disease can be obesity, inactive lifestyle, nerve pressure, heredity.
To confirm the diagnosis, a blood test is performed for uric acid content.When analyzing urine, protein is diagnosed in it.

Over time, attacks are repeated more and more often, the disease affects new joints, and damage to bones can occur.For more than four years of illness, a dense yellow tubercles formed under the joints for more than four years.From time to time, this formation can break, white powder stands out of them.

Diet with gout
Diet with gout on the feet involves a refusal to eat saturated foods with purine.To reduce the content of uric acid in the body, it is necessary to limit the use of animal protein.
Some types of meat and fish, offal, yeast, caviar, mushrooms, legumes, chocolate should be excluded.50% of the purine is released into the soup when cooking, so it is also not recommended to use the soup.This applies to any soup (meat, fish, mushrooms).Simple carbohydrates and saturated fat also pose a certain danger.
In the treatment of gout, it is important to eat regularly, do not starve and not eat too much.Fasting, such as excessive nutrition, causes the release of uric acid.With the presence of excess weight, a very sharp weight loss is not desirable.Food should be fragmented, at least five times a day.

Water prevents the formation of kidney stones.Sugar is not added to drinks, as sugar increases the level of insulin in the blood, and this slows the excretion of uric acid.Cocoa, strong tea, coffee is limited due to its effect on the nervous system.You should drink at least 1 cup of liquid 4-5 times a day before eating, the amount of fluid used should be 2.5-3 liters per day.
