You think gout is old age? Then you’re wrong!
Now, more and more young people are suffering from arrhythmia, which has become the Old Disease early on. According to statistics, the number of people suffering from urea acidemia in the country is approximately 177 million, of whom more than 146.6 million are suffering from ailments and nearly 60 per cent are young persons aged 18-35 years with urea acid and ailments.
What’s the reason for this?
Drink for water, go for a gout.
Drinks are an integral part of the daily lives of many people, whether in hot summers or cold winters, iced carbonated drinks, sweet juices and fragranced milk teas always seem to bring us joy and satisfaction.
However, these seemingly healthy drinks contain a large quantity of fruit sugar, which is widely present in the drink and is one of the main reasons why young people become the “old disease” of gout.
Unlike the metabolic pathways for other sugar types, the metabolism of sugar is mainly in the liver. When the fruit sugar enters the liver, it is subject to glucose glyphosphate-1-phosphate, resulting in a large amount of monophosphate (AMP), which is the bottom of urine.
As a result, overingestion of gum directly increases the generation of urea, leading to higher levels of urea.
In addition, sugar inhibits renal excretion of urea, further exacerbating the accumulation of urea acid in the body. Studies have shown that the intake of fruit and sugar is positively associated with the risk of arrhythmia. There is a significant increase in the risk of arrhythmia among young people who consume a large number of sugared drinks every day.
A 12-year follow-up study involving 42,000 men found that:
Men who drink 2 cans to 3 soft drinks per day are 85 per cent more likely to suffer from gout.
Which beverages contain gum?
Many young people prefer to replace white water with beverages, in particular carbonated beverages, juice beverages and milk tea, which usually use “glucose” as a dessert, which consists of glucose and sugar.
In the previous bottle of 600ml carbonated beverages, which contain sugar of about 60 g, the consumption of these beverages over a long period of time increases the intake of fruit sugar significantly, thus increasing the risk of ailments.
The guide to food for Chinese residents (2022) recommends that the intake of sugar added not exceed 50 g per day, preferably below 25 g.
Fresh juice also contains a lot of sugar. In the case of orange juice, for example, one cup of orange juice may require five oranges to be squeezed.
A 22-year study that surveyed 80,000 women concluded:
Women who drink one cup of orange juice and one can of sugary soft drinks each day are exposed to increased risk of gouts by 41% and 70%, respectively.
For women who drink 2 cups of orange juice and 2 or more cans of sugary soft drinks, the risk of arrhythmia has increased 2.4 times and more than 2.4 times.
In addition, many seemingly healthy drinks, such as tea, sports, etc., also contain sugar. These beverages are usually sold as “low sugar” “no sugar”, but in practice they still contain large quantities of sugar. When choosing drinks, consumers tend to focus only on the labelling of sugar while ignoring the existence of fruit sugar.
What else is there to eat?
Apart from beverages, many daily foods also hide the shape of sugar.
Fruit is one of the main sources of natural fruit sugar, but the relatively low sugar content in fruit compared to that in beverages, and nutrients such as vitamin C, ketone, polyphenol, potassium and dietary fibres in fruit can alter to some extent the effect of the sugar on urine.
Thus, for persons with arrhythmia, a proper amount of fruit is possible, but care needs to be taken to control the total intake, with a recommended daily intake of 200-350g.
Honey is also one of the important sources of sugar, and honey contains about 50% of it.
There are also processed foods, such as ice cream, ice cream, bread, cake, fruit pickles, honey pickles, fruit cans, etc., which are often produced with a large amount of sugar or lusp syrup to increase sweetness and taste. Therefore, for those suffering from arrhythmia, the food also needs to be avoided.
