Seafood that causes uric acid in the blood to increase uncontrollably

Hương Giang (Theo SingaporeDoc) |

Blood cockles are a nutritious seafood but also contain high levels of purines, which can increase uric acid levels in the body.

Blood cockles are a nutritious seafood but also contain high levels of purines. Purines are natural compounds found in many foods and when metabolized in the body, they create uric acid.

When you consume foods rich in purines, your blood uric acid levels can increase, leading to an increased risk of gout and other health problems related to high uric acid.

High purine content:

Blood cockles contain a lot of purines, which when metabolized will create uric acid. Consuming a lot of blood cockles can increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood.

Purine metabolism:

Uric acid is the end product of purine breakdown. When the body cannot eliminate uric acid, it accumulates and can crystallize into urate crystals in the joints, causing gout attacks.

Measures to reduce uric acid

Diet Avoid foods rich in purines:

Limit consumption of blood cockles, red meat, animal organs, and some beans. Increase foods low in purines: Eggs, nuts (like macadamia), low-fat milk, and vegetables like cabbage, red bell peppers, and beets.

Drink enough water:

Drinking plenty of water helps your kidneys remove uric acid more effectively. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day.

Exercise regularly:

Exercise helps control weight and lower uric acid levels. Aerobic exercises, such as running, swimming, or cycling, are all beneficial.

Use of supplements:

Vitamin C: Helps increase the rate of uric acid excretion through the kidneys.

Vitamin E: Protects cells from oxidative damage.

Curcumin: Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Quercetin: Reduces inflammation and oxidation

Limit sugar and alcohol consumption:

Limiting sugar and alcohol intake can help reduce uric acid levels.
