Gout is very particular about drinking water, are you drinking it right?

I believe that all gout friends know to drink more water, but how much and how to drink are also very particular.

how much water to drink

Drink between 2-4 liters of water every day to ensure sufficient urine output

After ingesting enough water, the urine volume will increase, and uric acid is easily dissolved in it and excreted with the urine, and it is not easy to form crystals

Adequate water intake in the human body can also reduce blood viscosity, which has certain benefits for preventing gout complications such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

But don't drink too much, as drinking too much can easily lead to water poisoning

what water to drink

Some friends have said that I like to drink drinks, and drinking more drinks can also replenish water, then you are wrong! For friends with gout, some beverages should not be drunk

Most beverages contain sweeteners.

What do you recommend to drink? 

Patients with gout can usually drink more mineral water and light tea, and do not drink a lot of boiled water, so as not to cause water and electrolyte imbalance

Secondly, gout patients with good kidney function can drink soda water

If you regularly drink soda water, it is recommended to reduce the intake of salt in your daily diet

For gout patients who need coffee to prolong their life, they can drink it in moderation.

When is the right time to drink water

The time to drink water is not too particular, do not drink water within half an hour before a meal, or immediately after a meal

Finally, I once again told my gout friends to drink water correctly!
