Customer question:
What is an example of a menu when heaving joint pain? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Diet plays a vital role in managing joint pain, as certain foods can affect uric acid levels.
When creating a menu for a person with a stroke, it is essential to follow the following guidelines:
- Limiting purines: Purines are substances that break down into uric acid. Foods rich in purines include red meat, offal, certain types of fish (e.g., sardines, mackerel, herring), alcohol (especially beer), and other food products. Limiting these foods can help reduce uric acid levels.
- Increasing carbohydrate intake: Foods rich in carbohydrates, especially those high in fiber, are usually recommended. This includes whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
- Consumption of moderate amounts of protein: Instead of meat with a high purine content, it is recommended to consume smaller amounts of low-purine protein sources, such as poultry, low-purine fish, and low-fat dairy products.
- Drinking a sufficient amount of fluids: Drinking enough water can help eliminate uric acid from the body and prevent the formation of crystals.
- Limiting alcohol: Alcohol can increase the production of uric acid and make it more challenging to eliminate it from the body. Therefore, limiting or avoiding alcohol is recommended.
- Taking low-purine food supplements: In some cases, the doctor may recommend taking low-purine food supplements to regulate uric acid levels.
However, each person is unique, so you must consult your doctor or nutritionist, who can help you tailor a menu to your needs and health condition.
