How to exercise gout?
Gout patients can exercise moderately. There are two types of exercise: aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. Relatively speaking, aerobic exercise is more suitable for patients. Studies have shown that walking five kilometers a day can reduce the risk of gout by 30%. Most gout patients also suffer from diabetes and hypertension. Aerobic exercise can help patients reduce body fat content, uric acid and so on. And lose weight. Anaerobic exercise is not suitable for patients, especially excessive anaerobic exercise. For example, muscle training, which is a high-intensity anaerobic exercise, may aggravate joint pain if patients do such exercise. Related anaerobic exercise includes bench press and push-ups. These high-intensity anaerobic exercises often lead to muscle damage. And if muscles are destroyed, it may increase the amount of uric acid. During exercise, if you sweat more, your urine output will be less, and because lactic acid and uric acid will compete with each other, your uric acid output will be reduced. These are the reasons for the increase of uric acid content. Uric acid is one of the inducement of gout attack. Gout patients should choose aerobic exercise if they want to keep fit. Gout patients can choose aerobic exercise that suits them, such as jogging and cycling. Patients should exercise for more than 15 minutes, but if they feel uncomfortable during exercise, don't force yourself, just do what you can. When riding a bike, it's best to keep the middle speed, as well as other sports.
