Delicious soup in cold weather that gout sufferers should not eat

Kiều Vũ (Theo American Heart Association) |

Dried bamboo shoot soup with pig's trotters is an attractive dish in cold weather, but people with gout and high blood pressure should not eat it.

People with gout

Pig's feet are a rich source of purines, a compound that can be converted into uric acid in the body. When the body accumulates too much uric acid, it can cause gout, especially when the amount of purines from food exceeds the body's ability to excrete.

Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of urate crystals in the joints, causing pain and inflammation. Therefore, people with gout or a history of gout should avoid dishes such as dried bamboo shoot soup with pig's feet, because it can increase the risk of disease recurrence.

People with high blood pressure or heart disease

Pig's feet are rich in fat and cholesterol, especially saturated fat. According to research by the American Heart Association, consuming too much saturated fat can increase bad cholesterol (LDL) levels in the blood, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. People with high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease should limit their intake of foods high in saturated fat, including dried bamboo shoot soup with pig's feet.

People with digestive problems

Dried bamboo shoots are cold and contain a lot of fiber, especially cellulose, which can cause indigestion or bloating for people with weak digestive systems or stomach or colon diseases.

According to research by the National Institute of Health, if dried bamboo shoots are not processed properly, they can cause discomfort for people with stomach ulcers, colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. Furthermore, using dried bamboo shoots that are not properly processed can lead to poisoning due to the presence of toxins such as aflatoxin, which seriously affects digestive health.

People who are overweight or obese

Dried bamboo shoot soup with pig's feet has a relatively high calorie content, especially due to the fat from the pig's feet. According to research by the US National Institute of Nutrition, when eating too many foods rich in calories and fat, the body will easily store fat, especially belly fat, leading to overweight or obesity.

For those who are in the process of controlling their weight or are obese, consuming this dish should be carefully considered.

People with food allergies

Although bamboo shoots and pig's feet are not allergenic foods, in some cases, people with sensitive skin may react to the ingredients in this dish. Some people may be allergic to foods containing bamboo shoots, especially dried bamboo shoots if not prepared properly.
