Gout is a recurrent inflammatory disease caused by excessive uric acid production or poor uric acid excretion due to purine metabolism disorders in the human body. One of the clinical characteristics is hyperuricemia, acute arthritis, tophith, and severe joint deformity and renal dysfunction. One of the characteristics of alkaline food is that it can alkalize urine, and uric acid, which causes gout attacks, will greatly increase its solubility in alkalized urine, so more uric acid can be excreted from the body through urine to alleviate gout attacks. Therefore, gout patients can eat alkaline foods. It is also recommended that gout patients eat alkaline foods, such as vegetables, fruits, etc. It is recommended that gout patients consume 300-500g of low-purine vegetables and 200-400g of low-purine fruits per day, which helps prevent and treat gout.
