When hot pot meets it, it actually causes gout in men

Data from a physical examination of 42,773 men in Chongqing from January to October this year showed that the largest number of people suffered from hyperuricemia, with 13,829 people, accounting for 32.33% of the total number of physical examinations. Experts said that this was related to Chongqing's eating habits.

Experts explain that hyperuricemia, also known as gout, is a common disease. In terms of eating habits, men in Chongqing are most likely to suffer from hyperuricemia. This is because Chongqing men love to eat hot pot, and their favorite hot pots are tripe, duck intestines, kidneys and other animal organs, and they often drink beer, which are the "culprits" that cause hyperuricemia.

Experts say that to prevent hyperuricemia, we should first eat less or no animal organs, seafood, shellfish, etc. Surveys show that the intake of purine (a substance that causes high uric acid) from a hot pot is 10 times or even dozens of times higher than that from a regular meal. In addition, beer contains a lot of purine, so it is not advisable to drink too much. One bottle of beer can double the uric acid level.

According to a study, the incidence of stroke, cardiovascular necrosis and heart disease is higher in the 25% of patients with the highest uric acid levels in their blood than in the 25% of patients with the lowest uric acid levels. The study was conducted simultaneously in 945 medical centers in 7 countries and regions, with a total of 9,193 hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy participating. The results were obtained about 5 years later. It is reported that people with high blood pressure are prone to stroke, 90% of patients will have a stroke due to blood vessel obstruction, and about half of them have high uric acid problems, but many people with high blood pressure often ignore the uric acid problem.
