Pay attention to how to prepare meat
When buying meat, people with high uric acid should prioritize choosing lean meat. Before cooking, reduce the amount of purines and boil the meat to remove part of the soluble purines in the water, helping to reduce the amount of purines taken into the body.
Avoid processed meats
People with gout and high uric acid should minimize sausages, bacon, ham and industrial processed meats. These foods contain a lot of salt and additives, which can easily make gout symptoms worse and also increase the risk of cancer.
Do not use boiled meat water
Purines are highly soluble in water, so the broth after boiling the meat has a high purine content. Patients should only eat meat, not drink water. In addition, boiled meat water does not bring much nutritional value.
Control meat consumption
People with high uric acid can still eat meat, but need to be strictly controlled. Do not eat more than 75 grams of meat per day; during the gout stage, the amount of meat needs to be more limited.
In addition, you should avoid meats with high purine content. Instead, you can choose foods with low to medium purine levels, which ensure protein supply and do not make the disease worse.
