Eating oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar like this can lower uric acid and reduce gout

Oil

Edible oil needs to be limited in quantity, and excessive consumption of oil can increase the risk of obesity, which is also an important factor affecting gout control.

The daily amount of edible oil for gout should be between 25-30 grams, in order to promote nutritional balance, improve body function, and improve nutritional status.

When cooking daily, you can use a white porcelain spoon to measure the amount of soup. Two and a half spoons are about 25-30 grams. You can also use a limit spoon to control the amount of oil used. Common limit spoons include 5ml and 15ml (approximately 5g and 15g respectively).

Salt

Salt contains neither purines nor calories, and from these two aspects, high uric acid or gout can be consumed just like other people.

At present, it is widely believed that sodium in table salt has the effect of promoting uric acid precipitation, so salt should not be consumed too much.

Many gout cases are accompanied by obesity and high blood pressure. In this case, the amount of salt used should be limited. Generally, the amount of salt used for high blood pressure can be referred to, which should not exceed 5 grams per day, about one beer cap. If you find the taste of the food too light, you can enhance it by adding seasonings such as scallions, ginger, and garlic when cooking.

Sauce

Most soy sauce is brewed from soybeans. After the preparation process, the purine content in soy sauce is not high, and it is plant-based purine. Therefore, high uric acid and gout require consideration of the "hidden salt" problem in soy sauce.

According to the "Chinese Food Composition Table", the sodium content of 6-10 grams of soy sauce is equivalent to 1 gram of salt. If soy sauce is consumed excessively, it is equivalent to excessive salt intake.

Vinegar

Although vinegar is sour, it has nothing to do with uric acid, and gout patients can also eat it with confidence.

Of course, don't believe those so-called "health vinegar" claims. The "health" functions of vinegar are widely discussed, ranging from lowering blood lipids, cholesterol, blood pressure, softening blood vessels, preventing coronary heart disease, to maintaining acid-base balance in the body, and so on.

In fact, the vast majority of vinegar is water, and the main component other than water is acetic acid. Acetic acid is a common organic acid that is metabolized in the body and converted into carbon dioxide and water, which are excreted from the body. Therefore, vinegar does not have the aforementioned magical functions.

As for some people who mentioned that vinegar contains other substances with "health" functions, in fact, most of these "health" ingredients can be found in ordinary food, while vinegar has a very small content and is consumed in small quantities, so it cannot be considered effective.

Although vinegar is good, it is not recommended to consume too much, usually 5 to 20 milliliters per day.

Chicken essence

Chicken essence has a high purine content, so gouty patients should eat less or try not to eat it.

First of all, let's talk about the ingredients contained in chicken essence. According to the Industry Standard for Chicken Essence Seasoning, chicken essence seasoning is usually made of monosodium glutamate, flavor enhancing nucleotides, organic acid salts, sugar and spices, and some also contain chicken essence and yeast extract.

There are two reasons why gout patients are not recommended to eat chicken essence:

The final metabolite of nucleotides in chicken semen is uric acid. Eating too much chicken semen can affect uric acid control and even worsen gout conditions;

Chicken essence itself contains high salt content, which is particularly unfavorable for gout patients, especially those with hypertension and renal dysfunction.

Fermented soy seasoning

Douchi, Fermented bean curd, and soya bean paste are fermented bean products, which are usually fermented from soybeans or soybean products.

Although soybeans have a high content of purines, there is no need to worry too much because they are plant-based purines. However, the salt content in lobster sauce and Fermented bean curd is usually high. You should still pay attention to the amount when eating.
