1. Animal organs - the number one culprit
According to the National Kidney Foundation (USA), liver, kidneys, intestines... contain very high purine content. When the body breaks down purines, uric acid is produced more than normal, putting pressure on the kidneys. Eating regularly can cause uric acid levels to increase significantly after just a few days.
2. Sweet drinks containing fructose
The Cleveland Clinic (USA) warns that soft drinks with gas, energy drinks and foods high in fructose are common causes of uric acid increasing fastly. Fructose when entering the liver will stimulate uric acid production more than usual, easily causing gout attacks.
3. Red meat and seafood
A study published in the US National Institutes of Health (NIH, published in PubMed Central) shows that just increasing the purine intake from red meat and seafood for 2 days can increase the risk of acute gout outbreak by 5 times. This shows that uric acid can change rapidly in a short time if eaten incorrectly.
Note
People at risk of increasing uric acid should limit eating animal organs, red meat and seafood rich in purines, because these foods can easily cause uric acid to increase rapidly.
In addition, you should reduce your consumption of soft drinks and foods high in fructose, and replace it with water or a glass of diluted lemon juice for better health.
In addition, each person needs to increase the supplementation of green vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C to support the body to eliminate uric acid more effectively.
Finally, to have optimal kidney function, you should drink enough water throughout the day and maintain regular exercise, such as walking, yoga or other gentle physical activities.
