Drink less sugary drinks
When the body has high uric acid and blood sugar levels, using sugary drinks will add burden to blood vessels and kidneys. The reason is that these drinks contain a lot of sugar and additives, increasing metabolic pressure on the body.
This not only makes the already overloaded kidneys have to work harder, but also increases blood sugar, hindering the excretion of uric acid and increasing the risk of complications. Therefore, to better control blood sugar and uric acid, you should minimize sugary and alcoholic beverages.
Eat less seafood
Seafood contains a lot of purines - substances that will convert into uric acid after entering the body. The more seafood you eat, the higher your uric acid level will easily increase.
This is especially dangerous for people who already have high uric acid, which can make the disease worse and impair kidney function. This is also the reason why many people have acute gout attacks after eating too many seafood.
In addition, people with diabetes (diabetes) also need to control the amount of seafood and animal organs to avoid increasing uric acid and further symptoms.
Eat less red meat
Red meat such as beef and pork also contains a lot of purines, which can increase uric acid if eaten a lot. Not only that, red meat is also rich in cholesterol and saturated fat. Excessive consumption can negatively affect blood fat and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, people with gout and diabetes should limit red meat, and at the same time increase green vegetables and fresh fruits in their daily diet.
Drink less broth from meat
Many people think that broth is nutritious, but in fact, broth from meat contains quite a lot of purines. Drinking too much can increase uric acid and increase the risk of getting or worsening gout.
However, not every type of broth is disadvantageous. Broth from vegetables such as mushrooms, tomatoes, pumpkins... is more suitable for patients, while broth from meat should be used in moderation.
