This "alkali" method of soda water is far from preventing gout!

Some time ago , the entry "Can drinking soda water prevent gout?" became popular, arousing curiosity and extensive discussion among the publ.

Gout and Hyperuricemia

Gout is a metabolic disease caused by the deposition of urate in bones, joints or other connective tissues, subcutaneous tissues, and kidne.

However, the specific etiology of the disease is not yet clear, but relevant studies have shown that the occurrence of hyperuricemia and gout is a continuous pathological process, that is to say, there is a direct connection between the occurrence of hyperuricemia and the occurrence of hyperuricemia caused by decreased uric acid excretion , and compared with people with normal blood uric acid levels, people with hyperuricemia have a 32-fold higher risk of developing gout [1]!

So, when we saw alkaline soda water, we couldn’t help but think of the principle of “acid-base neutralization” learned in junior high school chemistry, so we subconsciously came to a conclusion: drinking soda water can give patients excessively high Uric acid is used as an "alkaline" method, so as to play the role of "acid-base neutralization" and ultimately prevent the occurrence of go.

Soda Water: Preventing Gout with the "Alkaline" Method?

Soda water does have the effect of "alkali" method

This "alkaline" method of soda does reduce the deposition of urate in the

Soda's 'alkali' method isn't enough to prevent gout

First of all, as the saying goes, "Anything that doesn't talk about the dosage and only looks at the efficacy is a hooligan": compared with a tablet of oral sodium bicarbonate, the sodium bicarbonate content in the 500 ml of soda water we often drink is only 5

Comparing the two, we can clearly see that the "alkaline" method of soda water is far from being able to effectively reduce the patient's uric acid level - it seems a bit unqualified to "plug the teeth" for go.

Second, among all hyperuricemia patients, only about 20% will eventually develop gout , and the others show pure hyperuricemia without obvious sympto.

The "misunderstanding" of drinking soda

Soda ≠ soda drink

Soda water refers to a healthy drink that contains sodium bicarbonate and minerals and is weakly alkalin.

However, there are essential differences between soda drinks and soda water that appear on supermarket shelves : although "sodium bicarbonate" is clearly marked in the ingredient list, it only dissolves sodium bicarbonate (baking soda or soda effervescent tablets) quick.

Drinking large amounts of soda raises the risk of excess sodium absorption

If you drink about 4 bottles of soda water (2L) per day, it is equivalent to consuming 1g more sodium per day, that is, 5g sa.

Not everyone is suitable for drinking soda

First of all, people with high blood pressure, high blood lipids and chronic kidney disease are not suitable for drinking soda water, to avoid the aggravation of the disease caused by excessive intake of sodium io.

Secondly, gastritis patients with too little gastric acid secretion should not drink too much soda water, so as to avoid excessive "alkaline" gastric juice and aggravate the discomfort of the stomach or the degree of gastrit.

There are many other ways to prevent gout

low purine healthy diet

Do not consume too much red meat, animal offal, seafood and shellfish, high-salt foods and beverages with high fructose conte.

At the same time, patients should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits (vegetables: such as melons, rhizomes, green leafy vegetables, e.

drink plenty of water

Drink more boiled water, preferably more than 2L per da.

take more exercise

Maintain moderate-intensity aerobic exercise such as jogging, Tai Chi, and square dancing 4-5 times a week to keep your body weight within a normal ran.

write at the end

In short, soda water is not a "sacred water" to prevent go.

We need to see its essence through its appearance, drink it moderately , and don't have too high expectations for it, and the soda on the market today Most of the water is "severely processed" soda drinks, which are not only difficult to exert their own health care effects, but also cause an undue burden to our bodi.
