Purines can provide energy for the body, regulate metabolism and are useful in the formation of coenzymes.
Purine is also an organic compound that exists in the form of colorless crystals. After oxidation, it will be converted into uric acid in the body. Excessive purine content will increase the risk of gout.
In daily life, many people do not have the habit of blanching/boiling meat before eating. If the meat is not blanched before eating, the purine content in the meat will be very high.
Therefore, when eating meat, you should blanch it first. Eating meat containing purine will increase uric acid levels and increase the risk of hyperuricemia.
After blanching meat in boiling water, the purine content will be reduced by almost half. Establishing good eating habits will help stabilize uric acid levels and protect kidney health.
We should also limit red meat intake, which is very high in purine. Consuming too much red meat will increase the purine content in the body, leading to excessive uric acid.
