The link between gout and obesity

Middle-aged and obesity are risk factors of the metabolic disorder diseases such as gout, increased blood fat, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis ...The metabolic syndrome disease is a common illness trends in today's modern society due to a foul on nutrition "redundancies".

Gout is a disease caused by uric acid metabolism disorders in the body. Normally the process of synthesis and excretion of uric acid in equilibrium to keep levels of uric acid in the body. The total uric acid in about 1200 mg, 600 mg is in women. About 2/3 of uric acid are aggregated daily, while a similar number are eliminated primarily through the kidney. When this process of imbalance will cause the stagnant blood uric acid (gout)

Causes increased blood acid may be due to:

-Increased blood uric acid synthesis: synthesis of uric acid precursor to the purine, which is available from the product or degeneration of the cells in the body. Boost purines uric acid increases will result.

If you eat too many foods containing purines will lead the people to the risk of gout. (This is the source of exogenous purines).

-A number of patients who use these drugs kill cells for the treatment of malignant hematological diseases, or, this will destroy the cells and provide increased endogenous purine.

-Reduce uric acid excretion through the kidneys: it can lower glomerular filtration, reduction of urate crystals in the renal tube parts or combine

-Coordinate 2 above causes:

People who are obese increased blood fat status frequently. The combination of increased blood fats and increase the uric acid in blood were determined. There are up to 80% of the increase in blood fats are a combination of increased uric acid in the blood, and about 50%-70% of patients with gout increased blood fat. Thus, obesity is not the direct cause cause gout, but is a very big risk factors lead to this disease.

In the diet to ensure both a blood fat people diet and gout. You should note the following points:

1. restrict all three major food groups: Protein (meat), Glucid (starch), lipids (oils). When you eat a lot of Group 3, especially Lipids, obesity status grew heavier, also means increased risk of metabolic diseases as mentioned above.

2. eat more vegetables, fruits, sweet little to boost fiber intake.

3. to control uric acid well diet, you should say no to food containing plenty of Purines. The food was sub-organ (liver, heart, brain, intestines ...), red meats (beef, goat meat, horse meat, pork, ...), wine, beer ...

When was gout, the patient is taking the drug prevention to avoid gout attacks. At the same time should be the strict abstinence and a healthy lifestyle in order to have a better life.
