Longan fruit affects uric acid levels in the body

Hương Giang (Theo NIH) |

Longan is a sweet fruit but can increase uric acid levels, posing a risk for people with gout.

Longan is a nutritious fruit, but it can also affect uric acid levels in the body.

Here are some details about the effect of longan on uric acid levels:

Purine content:

Longan contains a certain amount of purines, but not as high as red meat or seafood. However, consuming too much longan can contribute to increased uric acid levels in the blood.

Fructose:

Longans are high in fructose, and fructose can increase uric acid production in the body.

When consuming a lot of fructose, the body will convert it into uric acid, increasing the risk of gout.

Reasonable consumption:

To control uric acid levels, gout sufferers should consume longan in moderation. Instead of eating a lot of longan at once, you can divide the amount of longan into smaller portions and eat it with other fruits that have less sugar.

Balanced diet:

In addition to limiting labeling, people with gout should maintain a balanced diet that is high in fiber and low in purines. Drinking enough water and exercising regularly are also important in controlling uric acid levels.
