Seeing the title, everyone will think that Dr. Clove is crazy, because everyone knows that [gout cannot eat hot pot] [eating hot pot can easily lead to gout attacks].
Yes, it is not recommended that gout patients eat hot pot, but if they can avoid it, they will not. However, there are always people who want to eat hot pot.
Instead of just preventing everyone from eating, Dr. Clove wants to let everyone know why it is not recommended to eat. If you have to eat, should how eat?
Three Crimes of Hot Pot, Gout to Know
Although hot pot is delicious, it has [three crimes] that make hot pot keep gout away from thousands of miles.
1. The first of the three crimes, high purine
Whether hot pot tastes good or not depends mostly on the soup base. However, the soup base is mostly stock soup (i.e. Broth), purine is soluble in water, and the purine content in broth is quite high.
The common hot pot ingredients such as cattle, sheep, fish, shrimp and animal viscera are also high purine foods. During the rinsing process, a large amount of purine will be dissolved in the hot pot soup.
In addition, in order to improve the taste, a large amount of monosodium glutamate and chicken essence are generally added to the chafing dish soup base, and nucleotides are added to the chicken essence, which will also affect the high blood uric acid level.
2. Two of the three crimes, high fat
The rich flavor of the hot pot bottom cannot be separated from the use of oil, while the butter in the red oil hot pot and the milky white thick soup in the white soup bottom are rich in saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, etc.
The sesame oil and sesame paste in the dip are not low in fat content. The fat intake from the oil dish and primer after eating Chongqing hot pot once is more than 50 g, far exceeding the recommended amount of 25 g ~ 30 g of cooking oil used by the Chinese Nutrition Society every day. However, the common protagonists of hot pot-fat cattle and sheep-have a fat content of more than 30%, so hot pot is an undisputed high-fat food.
For gout patients, fat can inhibit the metabolism of uric acid and aggravate the condition of gout. It is suggested that gout patients should have a low-fat diet.
3. Third crime, high salt
China’s dietary guidelines recommend that adults should not consume more than 6 g of salt per day, while the amount of salt in hot pot far exceeds this standard.
In addition to the high salt content in the thick oil red sauce in the hotpot condiment, many hotpot ingredients such as luncheon meat, fish balls, shrimp balls and other processed foods also contain a large amount of salt.
Gout has a higher risk of metabolic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes than ordinary people, and salt intake should be stricter than ordinary people.
Remember 4 o’clock before you can eat hot pot.
After reading the above, many gout patients may feel sad. Can they only meet hot pot [others are eating and I am watching]?
Not entirely. If you really want to eat or have to eat, it is recommended that you do the following four things to reduce the risk of gout attack as much as possible.
1. Choice of pot bottom: clear soup
The clear soup here refers to the clear soup close to clear water, not stock soup.
In order to make the dishes of hot pot easier to cook and taste, various ingredients are usually cut very thin, which will wrap a large amount of oil, salt and purine in the bottom of the pot.
Choosing clear soup and not drinking hot pot soup can minimize the intake of oil, salt and purine.
2. Dip choice: No oil dish
Vinegar is the main dip, and scallion, ginger, garlic and mustard can be added in an appropriate amount to improve flavor.
Using vinegar instead of sesame oil, sesame paste, leek paste, etc. as dip can not only improve the taste of food, but also reduce the intake of fat and salt. If parsley grains, green pepper grains, etc. are added to the dip, the intake of dietary fiber can be increased, which is beneficial to gout patients.
Don’t sesame oil dishes, three or four spoons of sesame oil fat content will exceed 30g, fat intake is extremely easy to exceed the standard.
3. Choice of ingredients: Rinse more potatoes and vegetables,
Rinse more potatoes and vegetables and eat tofu in an appropriate amount.
First rinse taro, yam, sweet potato and other potato foods, which can increase satiety and reduce food intake. Potato instead of some staple foods such as rice flour is more suitable for gout patients, because it contains more minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber than refined rice flour, which is beneficial to gout patients.
Cabbage, cabbage, rape, lettuce, spinach and other vegetables are mostly low purine foods, which can remove some oxalic acid from vegetables during rinsing and eating, and are more beneficial to gout patients.
Recent studies have shown that tofu can replace fish as a protein supplement, and gout patients can eat it in an appropriate amount. However, sheep and cattle like fat should eat less and their internal organs should not eat it.
4. Hot pot, try to cook at home
Making hot pot at home can ensure the freshness of the ingredients and food used. For gout patients, it is difficult to ensure a low purine, low calorie, less salt and less sugar diet when eating out.
At present, the latest dietary guidelines not only recommend people to eat what and how much they eat, but also recommend to eat more at home, which is also to prevent overweight, obesity and chronic diseases.
Some people may say, what you said is boiled cabbage with clear water, not hot pot! Yes, this is really not hot pot in the general sense.
However, delicious food and health are often not both. It is more important to sit around a table with family and friends and enjoy eating together. Gout does not attack after eating hot pot than eating what.
