Are there any meats that are good for gout? How to distinguish between good and bad foods for gout.

Gout sufferers, are you afraid of eating meat?
But if you distinguish between meats that are good for gout and meats that you should avoid,
You don't have to cut it off completely.

Gout is a disease in which uric acid builds up and causes inflammation in the joints.
In particular, a substance called purine is broken down in the body and produces uric acid.
Eating too many of these purine-rich foods can cause your uric acid levels to rise sharply.

Meat is known to be the main culprit of gout,
In fact, it can be managed depending on the type of meat, amount eaten, and cooking method.

How to choose meat that is good for gout?

White meat : Chicken breast, turkey breast, etc. are relatively low in purine content.

low-fat cuts : Choose cuts that are low in fat and purine, such as pork tenderloin or beef tenderloin.

Consume in moderation : The key is to eat moderately, about 50 to 100g per meal.

Eat boiled or baked : Avoid cooking methods that involve frying or stir-frying; instead, boil or bake to remove excess oil.
