However, according to experts, some seemingly harmless habits can cause uric acid levels in the blood to remain high, increasing the risk of gout and related complications.
Sugar-containing waters
Regular consumption of soft drinks, milk tea and drinks high in fructose is considered one of the leading causes of increased uric acid production in the body.
Using a lot of animal food
A diet high in red meat, animal organs and seafood also increases purine intake, thereby increasing the metabolic burden of uric acid.
Drink alcohol and beer regularly
Experts also warn that regular alcohol consumption can reduce the ability to excrete uric acid through the kidneys.
Staying up late for a long time
Staying up late for a long time, stress and lack of sleep not only affect metabolism but also increase the risk of metabolic disorders.
Not exercising regularly
Laziness and overweight, obesity are also important factors that make uric acid difficult to control. Increased body weight increases uric acid production and reduces kidney excretion efficiency.
Experts recommend that, in addition to adhere to treatment, patients need to adjust their diet, maintain a reasonable weight, limit alcohol, get enough sleep and increase exercise to effectively control uric acid, thereby reducing the risk of developing gout.
