Diet for gout: a table of products, an approximate menu for a week

Gout is a metabolic disease characterized by the accumulation of excess uric acid in the body.

This can happen as a result of hereditary predisposition, and because of acquired diseases.

But in any case, the starting factor in this pathology is the receipt of specific chemical compounds with food.

What is the diet for gout?

Gout is a chronic pathology in which the concentration of uric acid is increased in the blood, and the salts of this acid are deposited in the tissues, mainly in the joints. At the same time there is no clear correlation between the level of this acid in the blood and the degree of severity of the joint symptomatology.

Urinary acid in the body is formed from compounds called purine bases. Most of them come from food, a small percentage is synthesized from substances such as glutamine or glycine contained in the body. The level of purines also increases under conditions accompanied by cell decay( antitumor therapy, shock states, autoimmune diseases), because they contain DNA, RNA and other nucleotide-containing compounds.

Entering the liver, purine bases are converted into uric acid. Further, it enters the intestine, where it is "processed" by the gastrointestinal tract, then it is absorbed into the blood and excreted in the urine. If a failure occurs at one of the stages of this "path" from purines to the excretion of uric acid, it begins to accumulate, and at some point gout develops. But since most of the uric acid is formed from food, then, removing them from food, you can reduce its content in the body several times.

If a person were aware of a violation in the content of their own enzymes, either in the synthesis or in the excretion of uric acid, or about other causes of predisposition to this disease, he could have avoided developing it, having lived a certain diet all his life. Unthinkable and effective therapy of gout without compliance with the rules of nutrition.
