The so-called gout is due to the long-term abnormal purine metabolism in the body, which leads to the increase of uric acid concentration in the blood and the deposition of urate in the joint, which leads to local inflammation of the joint and causes clinical symptoms such as redness, swelling, fever and pain. In severe cases, it will lead to joint deformity, disability and even life-threatening. Therefore, gout patients should avoid eating foods with high purine content, especially during the acute attack of gout. And crab is a kind of high purine food.

Five taboos for eating crabs

1. The parasitic bacteria in dead crabs that don't eat dead crabs will multiply and spread into crab meat, which will decompose protein and produce histamine. The longer the crab dies, the more histamine accumulated in the body, and the greater the toxicity. Even if the dead crab is cooked, the toxin is still not easy to be destroyed. After eating it, it will cause nausea and vomiting, flushed cheeks and rapid heartbeat. Do you remember one of the taboos of eating crabs?

2. Don't eat crabs overnight. Crab is a food with more histamine acid. The histidine left by crabs overnight will be decomposed into histamine under the action of some vitamins. Heating in a pot can kill pathogenic microorganisms, but it can't destroy toxins, leading to histidine poisoning. So be sure to remember to eat crabs, and it is best to steam them now for no more than 4 hours.

3, do not eat raw crabs, drunken crabs, crabs contain various pathogenic microorganisms. In particular, the eggs of Paragonimus larvae in its body are highly infectious and resistant, and it is impossible to kill them only by soaking in yellow wine and white wine. Eating raw crabs and drunken crabs can easily induce paragonimiasis, causing cough and hemoptysis. If the virus enters the brain, it will also cause paralysis. Eating crabs is exquisite, and you must choose crabs carefully when buying crabs.

4. Don't eat the "four parts" crab stomach, that is, the triangular bone bag in the crab cover. Eat the crab cover part first, scoop out the middle crab stomach part with a small spoon, and gently lick the crab yellow wrapped outside. For the crab body, first cut off the extra crab feet and mouth with scissors; Pick out a hexagon in the middle of the crab with a spoon handle, which is the heart of the crab and should be discarded; Crab intestine, a black line from crab stomach to crab navel; Crab cheeks, two rows of soft things like eyebrows that grow in the belly of crabs, should be removed.

5, don't eat crabs and tea, tea, persimmons, peanuts and cold drinks can't be drunk at the same time, because tea will dilute gastric juice, and there are more tannins in tea and persimmons, which will solidify protein in crab meat, which is not conducive to digestion. Solidified substances will stay in the intestine for a long time, and will cause abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea after fermentation. Peanuts are high in fat, and greasy things will be eaten with cold crabs, which will easily lead to diarrhea.
