Gout is a metabolic disease caused by purine metabolism disorder or uric acid excretion disorder, and patients often manifest symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the joints. Patients with gout need to adjust their lifestyle, including dietary adjustment, exercise adjustment, and lifestyle adjustment.
1. Dietary Adjustment: Patients should avoid eating high-purine foods, such as animal internal organs, seafood, and beans. It is recommended to eat more low-purine foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Patients also need to control alcohol consumption, especially beer and fruit wine, as alcohol can increase the production and excretion of uric acid in the body.
2. Exercise Adjustment: Moderate aerobic exercise can promote the excretion of uric acid and reduce blood uric acid levels. It is recommended that patients perform at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, such as walking, jogging, and swimming. However, during acute attacks, strenuous exercise should be avoided to prevent the symptoms from worsening.
3. Lifestyle Adjustment: Maintaining good living habits can help improve the condition of patients with gout. It is recommended that patients maintain sufficient sleep time, avoid staying up late and overworking. Keeping a good mood can also help relieve pain and discomfort.
In addition to the above lifestyle adjustments, patients with gout should also pay attention to regular blood uric acid level checks and medication treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If symptoms such as joint pain occur, please seek medical attention and receive professional treatment promptly.
