How to choose fish that does not increase uric acid

Hương Giang (Theo Summit Rheumatology) |

Not all seafood can increase uric acid. If used properly, fish and seafood are a reliable choice for your health.

Salmon

Salmon is a great choice for people with gout. Not only is it low in purines, but it is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and improve heart health. You can prepare salmon in a variety of ways, such as baking, steaming, or in salads.

Flounder

Flounder is also a low-purine fish, but should be eaten in moderation. Flounder is high in protein and contains important nutrients such as vitamin D and selenium, which help support the immune system and strong bones.

Red snapper

Red snapper is another option for a gout diet. Not only is it low in purines, it is also rich in vitamin B12 and omega-3s. Red snapper can be prepared in many delicious ways such as grilled red snapper, steamed red snapper or deep-fried red snapper.

Crab, shrimp and lobster

Although crab, shrimp, and lobster are edible, they should be eaten in limited quantities to avoid increasing uric acid. These seafoods provide plenty of protein and minerals such as zinc and selenium, which help boost the immune system and overall health.
