Is gout more likely to attack in winter?

The factor that induces acute gout attack in winter is not the weather itself, but the living habits brought by seasonal characteristics. First of all, compared with other seasons, people are reluctant to exercise in winter, and the blood circulation slows down after the weather gets cold, which makes free blood uric acid deposit on the joints and induces gout.

Secondly, the human body sweats less in winter, so the demand for water intake will decrease. Insufficient water in the body is not conducive to the metabolism of uric acid, which makes uric acid easier to deposit and induces pain.

In addition, the weather turned cold, and hot pot became the favorite on the table. This is a high purine diet, which will increase uric acid level in the body. In addition, due to the need to resist the cold, people's appetite will increase. Inadvertently, the intake of purine will increase greatly.
