Maintain a reasonable weight
Overweight and obesity are one of the factors that increase the risk of gout. High body fat and triglycerides in the blood can affect kidney function, while disrupting the metabolism and excretion of uric acid.
Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight plays an important role in controlling uric acid and preventing gout. If you are overweight, you should lose weight gradually, combining a healthy diet and regular exercise, instead of losing weight too quickly.
Control blood pressure and blood sugar
High blood pressure and blood sugar may be related to increased uric acid in the body. In particular, impaired kidney function can affect the uric acid excretion process, causing uric acid to accumulate in the blood.
People with high blood pressure or hyperglycemia should actively control these indicators, use medication as prescribed by a doctor and maintain a proper lifestyle to limit the risk of complications.
Limit or avoid alcohol
Drinking a lot of alcohol and beer for a long time is an important risk factor for gout. Ethanol in alcohol can increase the process of uric acid production, and also affect the kidney's ability to excrete uric acid.
When uric acid accumulates for a long time, urate crystals can form and deposit in the joints, causing acute gout attacks. Therefore, men with high uric acid or who are suffering from gout should limit it to the maximum, preferably avoid alcohol and beer.
In addition to controlling weight and limiting alcohol, men should maintain the habit of drinking enough water and exercising regularly. Water helps support the process of uric acid excretion through the kidneys, while exercise helps control weight and improve metabolic health.
However, you should choose moderate exercise and maintain it regularly, avoid overtraining or fasting to lose weight quickly, because sudden changes can cause uric acid to lose control.
