Role of Proteins in Gout
08.07.2017GOUT:
Gout is a form of arthritis which causes pain, tenderness, stiffness and swelling in the major joints throughout your body. According to the book, “Nutrition for Health, Fitness and Sport,” excessive protein intake can cause gout through the buildup of toxins, such as uric acid, in your bloodstream. Excess uric acid causes gout by forming crystals that accumulate in your joints and cause inflammation and other symptoms.
MANAGEMENT:
As a diet and lifestyle modification decrease protein rich and fat rich food are recommended. Blanket cut down in protein rich food invariably results in PROTEIN DEFICIENCY which again becomes a difficult health issue to tackle.
so what is the whey forward? Uric acid is produced when you consume substances known as PURINES found in ANIMAL-BASED sources of protein, such as red meat and fatty fish. The good news is that WHEY PROTEIN IS NOT DIRECTLY LINKED TO GOUT, according to Mary Fran Sowers, Ph.D., R.D., on the Arthritis Today website.Whey and Gout
A 12-year study published in “The New England Journal of Medicine” found that dairy products help reduce the risk of gout. Whey protein is a byproduct of the cheese-making process. Whey is about 20 percent of the protein found in milk. So whey protein may actually help reduce your risk of gout when consumed as directed by your doctor. A typical whey protein dosage ranges from 20 grams to 30 grams per day, but this may vary depending on your age, gender, body size and physical activity level.
