Cholesterol and high blood pressure sufferers usually have a tendency to suffer from gout. Uric acid levels and cholesterol in the blood can be maintained with regular exercise and avoid or reduce certain foods.
Gout is an inflammation of the joints that can cause joints (usually in the big toe) to suddenly feel painful, sore, stiff, feel hot and swollen. This disease is caused by a buildup of substances called uric acid in the blood. Gout is associated with a number of metabolic problems, one example being cholesterol. Cholesterol is thought to increase, or be a risk factor for developing gout.
Food and Beverages to Avoid
One way to maintain uric acid levels and cholesterol in the blood remains stable is to run a healthy lifestyle, including maintaining a diet and exercising regularly. There are several foods that can make uric acid and cholesterol high. What are they?
Offal
Not only sufferers of gout who are prohibited from consuming innards, people with high cholesterol are also advised to avoid it. Ampela, tripe, kikil, liver, kidney, intestine, and brain have high purine content and contribute to increasing uric acid levels. Purines are certain chemical compounds in some foods that will turn into uric acid if broken down.
In addition, the liver also contains high cholesterol levels. The reason is because cholesterol is made and stored in the liver, so the highest cholesterol level in animal flesh is found in the liver.
Seafood or seafood (seafood)
Seafood, aka seafood, such as anchovy, sardines, cob, tuna, and shellfish contain high purines. Whereas lobster is not a good choice, especially for people with high cholesterol, because of its high cholesterol content. In 85 grams lobster contains 125 mg of cholesterol. Not to mention if the lobster is cooked by frying, of course the cholesterol level will be higher. Come on, limit seafood intake so that uric acid and cholesterol levels are maintained.
Meat
People with gout and high cholesterol are advised to limit meat intake. Various types of meat, especially red meat, have high purine and cholesterol content. If you want to eat red meat, it is recommended to remove fat sticking to meat. Or you can also eat white meat, like chicken or turkey. However, note also how to process white meat. It is recommended to remove the skin and not process it by frying it.
Alcoholic beverages
Gout and high cholesterol will cause more severe health problems if you add alcoholic beverages. Eating too much alcoholic beverages, especially beer, can increase the production of uric acid to cause recurrent gout attacks. In addition, beer will make it difficult for the body to remove uric acid from the body. Drinking alcoholic beverages excessively can also increase cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.
A healthy body can be achieved by maintaining uric acid and cholesterol levels under normal conditions. In addition to maintaining food intake, don't forget to exercise at least 30 minutes every day. Routinely checking uric acid and cholesterol levels as well as carrying out routine health checks to the doctor, is also an important step to prevent the impact on health conditions due to high levels of uric acid and cholesterol.
