Patient's question:
My cousin is quite fat, but she is tall, so she doesn't look that obese. Recently, she has been feeling dizzy all the time and often feels hungry. No matter how much she eats, she never feels full, but her weight keeps decreasing without any increase. Some people say it might be diabetes.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is a relationship. In order to prevent and treat gout, dietary habits should follow the principle of "three more, three less":1) Drink more water, drink less soup. People with high blood uric acid levels and gout patients should drink more plain water and less meat soup, fish soup, chicken soup, hot pot soup, etc. Plain water has the most favorable osmotic pressure for dissolving various harmful substances in the body. Drinking more plain water can dilute uric acid, accelerate excretion, and lower uric acid levels. Soups contain a large amount of purine components, and after consumption, they not only fail to dilute uric acid but also lead to an increase in uric acid levels.
