Gout is a disease associated with a violation of metabolism, when an excessive amount of uric acid accumulates in the body.Uric acid salt (sodium urats) begins to be deposited in the joints, which leads to its inflammation and other organs.
In the risk zone are the people who use in large quantities meat, spicy dishes that abuse alcohol.Other factors related to disease development can be obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, nervous stress, heredity.
To confirm the diagnosis, a blood test is performed for the contents of uric acid.When analyzing urine, protein is diagnosed in it.
Most of the time, the gout affects joints near the thumbs.Got attacks in most cases occur at night or early in the morning.The acute period of the disease can last up to seven days.The disease is chronic with periodically repeated relapses.
Over time, attacks are repeated increasingly, the disease affects new joints and the destructive of bones can occur.For over four years, yellowish dense tubers form under the joints for more than four years.From time to time, these formations may burst, the whitish crumbs stand out.
A gout complication may be the formation of kidney stones, hypertension, renal colic, damage to cardiac and heart muscle valves.
Gout diet
The leg diet involves the refusal to eat saturated foods with purine.To reduce the content of uric acid in the body, it is necessary to significantly limit the consumption of animal protein.
Some types of meat and fish, offal, yeast, caviar, mushrooms, vegetables, chocolate should be excluded.50% of the purines are released in broth when cooking, so it is also not recommended to use broths.This applies to any broth (meat, fish, mushroom).Simple carbohydrates and saturated fats also pose a certain danger.

Water prevents the formation of stones in the kidneys.Sugar is not added to beverages as sugar increases the level of insulin in the blood, and this decreases the excretion of uric acid.Cocoa, strong tea, coffee are limited due to their effects on the nervous system.You need to drink at least 1 cup of liquid 4-5 times a day a day before meals, the volume of liquid consumed should be 2.5 to 3 liters per day.
