Foods to limit when increasing uric acid in the blood

Thanh Hương (Theo Healthline) |

Some foods are recommended to be limited for people with hyperuricemia.

Uric acid is considered the last purine metabolism in the body. When uric acid levels in the blood increase, it can cause the formation of urate crystals in joints and soft tissues, leading to gout.

Therefore, limiting the consumption of meats with high purine content will be necessary for bodies with high uric acid in the blood.

Red meat

Red meat includes beef, Lamb and pork, which are high in purines. Consuming a lot of red meat can increase uric acid levels in the blood, which is very likely to increase the risk of gout.

Therefore, housewives should limit the use of red meat in daily meals and replace it with other protein sources.

Animal organs

animal organs such as the liver, kidneys and brain contain very high levels of purines. Therefore, regular consumption of these foods can lead to a significant increase in uric acid levels in the blood, which can harm health and increase the risk of gout outbreaks.

Seafood

Some seafood such as anchovies, sardines, clams, river boy, salmon and tuna have high purine content. Consuming these seafood can increase uric acid levels in the blood, so it should be limited in the daily diet.

Processed meat

Processed meats such as bacon, sausage, Chinese sausage and ham not only contain high purine content but also many preservatives, salt and saturated fat. These ingredients can make conditions worse for metabolic disorders, including gout.

Poultry with skin

Although poultry such as chicken and duck are often considered a better choice for people with high uric acid levels, their skin contains higher purine content. Therefore, the skin of the above meats should be removed before processing to reduce the amount of purines taken into the body.
