Here is a simple, easy-to-make soup, but it has been proven to have the effect of naturally lowering uric acid, protecting joints and supporting kidney function.
Shrimp-bike squash soup
Shrimp is a source of animal protein with a moderate purine content, significantly lower than red meat and animal organs.
When cooked with squash, a fruit that contains up to 95% water, rich in vitamin C, potassium and flavonoids, the soup is not only refreshing but also helps promote the excretion of natural uric acid.
According to research from the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, fruits are rich in water and antioxidants that can help reduce oxidative stress in the kidneys, improving the ability to filter and remove uric acid in the blood.
Shrimp paste soup is also suitable for the elderly, obese people, and those at high risk of purine metabolism disorders.
Vegetable soup with chin meat
Celery has long been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic, supporting the body's detoxification. Bananas extract has the effect of inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase - the main enzyme that creates uric acid in the body.
When combining celery with a small amount of lean silkworm meat (priority chicken, lean pork), the soup is still thick enough without increasing the burden of purines.
Celery also provides apigenin and luteoline, two flavonoids that help reduce inflammation, protect joint tissue and reduce the risk of gout attacks.
Vegetable soup should be used 2-3 times a week, especially in hot weather, when it is easy to lose water, increasing uric acid levels in the blood.
Recommendations from nutritionists
Experts from the International Gout & Uric Acid Organization (G-CAN) and the European Clinical Nutrition Association (ESPEN) advise:
Prioritize soup with lots of water, less animal protein, and rich in fiber to support uric acid excretion.
Limit soup with a lot of salt, red meat stews, and thick broth because it can easily increase purines and retain water.
Drinking enough water (1.5-2 liters/day) combined with dieting helps reduce the burden on the kidneys.
