簡(jiǎn)介∶痛風(fēng)又叫「帝王病」,。大魚大肉的飲食習(xí)慣，使得這個(gè)以往只有富貴人家專屬的疾病變成現(xiàn)代普遍的文明病,。上班族因久坐,、外食或應(yīng)酬等因素，也成了痛風(fēng)的高危險(xiǎn)群,。要免除罹患痛風(fēng)的可能,，就快跟著我們來細(xì)究痛風(fēng)這個(gè)難纏的敵人吧。
Getting a Leg up on Gout
LABELED “the unwalkable disease” by Greek
physician Hippocrates,gout is one of the earliest documented
afflictions.However, this
painful arthritic2 condition is still not fully understood.
The underlying cause is high levels of
uric acid. In about 12 percent of cases, this is due to diet. Seafood,
red meat and alcohol, which are all
high in purines, are particularly associated with the condition.
Geneticsalso play a role. Although perfectly fit individuals can develop
the
disease, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and a lack of exercise are
otherpotential contributors.
Gout attacks cause uric acid to harden
into sharp needle-like crystals, which deposit themselves in the cooler
parts of the body —
most commonly the joints of the foot. This usually causes swelling and
intense pain which can last anywhere from a couple of days to more than
a week. Some people with high levels of uric acid filter it through
theirkidneys, while others, who might actually have lower levels, don’t,
leading
to gout. The exact reason for this remains unclear.
遠(yuǎn)離痛風(fēng)
痛風(fēng)是文獻(xiàn)中最早記載的病痛之一,，希臘醫(yī)師希波克拉底
稱為「使人無法行走的疾病」,。不過，我們至今對(duì)這種痛苦的
關(guān)節(jié)病癥尚未全盤了解,。
痛風(fēng)潛藏的原因是尿酸過高,。約 12% 的情況與飲食有
關(guān)。海鮮,、紅肉和酒精等高普林食物跟此病關(guān)系尤其密切,。遺
傳也是原因之一。雖然身形完美的人也可能罹患痛風(fēng),，肥胖,、
久坐的生活型態(tài)以及缺乏運(yùn)動(dòng)也是其他潛在促成因素,。
痛風(fēng)發(fā)作會(huì)使尿酸硬化成如尖針般的結(jié)晶，沉積在身體溫
度較低的地方,，通常是足關(guān)節(jié),。這往往造成連續(xù)數(shù)日或超過一
周的腫脹及劇痛。有些高尿酸的人可以透過腎臟將尿酸排出,，
有些人就算指數(shù)不那麼高,，卻因無法排出尿酸而導(dǎo)致痛風(fēng)。確
切原因至今仍然不明,。
