Roasted peanuts contain purines, when entering the body, purines will be converted into uric acid. If you eat too much or the body's excretion is poor, uric acid in the blood can easily increase. Over time, uric acid can crystallize at the joints, causing inflammation, pain, swelling, redness and difficulty moving.
People who have had hyperuricemia or gout are at risk of recurrence of acute pain if they eat a lot of roasted peanuts. Severe cases can affect daily life. Therefore, patients should not eat too many purine-rich foods in one meal.
If symptoms such as bloating, nausea or swollen joints appear after eating roasted peanuts, you should temporarily stop eating, drink plenty of water, rest and avoid stimulant drinks. If the condition does not improve, you need to see a doctor early for advice and timely treatment.
A low-purine diet is often quite strict, so if applied for a long time, it can be stressful and difficult to maintain. However, you do not necessarily have to abstain excessively. It is important to know how to adjust it appropriately.
You should diversify protein sources, prioritize types with low purine content; at the same time, minimize foods high in purines such as animal organs, concentrated seafood or protein-rich processed dishes. In addition, increasing fruits, green vegetables and cereals (excluding oats) will help the body eliminate excess uric acid.
