What can you eat to increase purine levels? Be careful with these foods!
In recent years, with the improvement of health awareness, the problems of hyperuricemia and gout have attracted much attention. Purine is one of the key factors leading to elevated uric acid, and the purine content in the diet directly affects uric acid levels. This article will combine the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days to compile a list of high-purine foods for you and provide scientific dietary advice.
1. Classification of high purine foods
According to the purine content in food, it can be divided into the following three categories:
| Purine grade | Purine content (mg/100g) | represents food |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra high purine | ≥150 | Offal, broth, anchovies, sardines |
| High purine | 75-150 | Pork, beef, mutton, some seafood (hairtail, silver carp), beans |
| medium purine | 25-75 | Mushrooms, asparagus, spinach, poultry |
2. The most overlooked high-purine foods
According to recent hot discussions on the Internet, the purine content of the following foods is often underestimated:
| food name | Purine content (mg/100g) | Common misunderstandings |
|---|---|---|
| yeast powder | 589 | Often used in baked goods |
| white hairtail fish | 391 | Considered healthier than red meat |
| Hot pot soup base | 300+ | Ignore the purine precipitation caused by long-term cooking |
| dried shiitake mushrooms | 214 | Plant-based foods mistakenly thought to be safe |
3. Recent popular dietary suggestions
1.Low Purine Alternatives: Use chicken breast (137mg) instead of pork liver (229mg), and use sea cucumber (4mg) instead of other seafood.
2.Optimized cooking methods: Blanching can reduce the purine content of meat by 20-30%, so avoid drinking broth.
3.Drink selection: Recent research shows that sugar-free coffee may help uric acid excretion, while sugary drinks significantly increase the risk of gout.
4. Precautions for special groups of people
| Crowd type | Recommended purine intake | Special reminder |
|---|---|---|
| acute stage of gout | <150mg/day | Strictly restrict animal offal and seafood |
| High uric acid without symptoms | 200-300mg/day | Control the total amount of daily meat |
| Postoperative recovery period | Individualized adjustment | Need to take into account nutrition and purine control |
5. Latest research trends
1. A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition pointed out that vitamin C supplementation may help promote uric acid excretion.
2. The "cherry therapy" that is hotly discussed on the Internet has not yet been supported by sufficient evidence, but moderate consumption of low-sugar fruits is indeed beneficial.
3. The latest survey shows that the prevalence of hyperuricemia in my country reaches 13.3%, and it is getting younger.
Summary:Controlling purine intake requires a scientific understanding of food attributes and a reasonable combination based on your own situation. It is recommended to check blood uric acid levels regularly and seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities occur. Remember there is no absolute "can't eat" food, the key is to control the total amount and frequency.
