Gout is directly related to nutritional excess, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption, hence it is often referred to as the "disease of wealth" or the "disease of luxury." With the improvement of living standards and material conditions, people are consuming more refined rice and flour, greasy and rich foods, while engaging less in walking, exercise, and physical labor. As a result, the incidence of gout is on the rise. Gout often coexists with modern diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular diseases. The key to preventing and treating gout lies in diet. This book briefly introduces the dietary conditioning principles for gout, the best foods for conditioning, dietary misconceptions and taboos, and presents nutritious and delicious recipes in a visually appealing format for readers to choose from. It allows readers to control the disease while enjoying delicious meals, ultimately achieving health through eating.
