Sheep meat contains many purines:
Purines are natural compounds found in many foods, including red meat such as Lamb. When the body metabolizes purines, it will create uric acid. Consuming more foods rich in purines can increase uric acid levels in the blood.
Increased risk of gout:
High uric acid can lead to the formation of urate crystals in the joints, causing acute gout attacks. Lamb meat, along with other red meats such as beef and pork, can increase this risk if consumed excessively.
Dietary advice:
To control uric acid levels, patients should limit their consumption of red meat and replace it with other protein sources such as skinless chicken, salmon, or beans. In addition, maintaining a balanced and healthy diet, combined with drinking enough water, is also very important to help the body eliminate uric acid effectively.
