尿酸高不能吃什么？一次搞懂高尿酸饮食原则！
尿酸高不能吃什么？一次搞懂高尿酸饮食原则！ By Island Hospital | July 28, 2024 12:00:00 PM Medical Reviewer: Dietitian 尿酸是人体代谢嘌呤时产生的最终产物，而嘌呤是存在于许多食物和饮料中的有机化合物。由此可见，尿酸水平与饮食密切相关。 因此，当人们发现自己的尿酸水平偏高时，首先想到的往往是调整饮食习惯。"尿酸高不能吃什么？"、"尿酸高能吃什么？"之类与饮食相关的问题便成了高尿酸者最关心的问题。 今天，本文将为你详细解析高尿酸者的饮食原则，让你了解如何通过饮食来控制尿酸水平。 高尿酸有哪些危害？ 开始讲解高尿酸者的饮食原则之前，我们先来了解高尿酸的危害。 一提起尿酸，大家通常都会想到痛风。的确，痛风是高尿酸最常见的并发症，是因尿酸堆积在关节中而引起的急性关节炎，多见于足部（特别是大脚趾）。痛风发作时，你的一个或多个关节将出现剧烈疼痛与肿胀。 如今，人们把高尿酸称作继 “三高”（高血压、高血糖、高血脂）之后的"第四高"，以体现其危险性。 高尿酸者的饮食准则 现在，我们将详细探讨高尿酸者的饮食准则。这些资讯将让你更好地管理自己的饮食，帮助你维持健康的尿酸水平。 尿酸高不能吃什么？ 对于尿酸高的人来说，首要原则就是避免食用高嘌呤含量的食物，因为嘌呤是引起尿酸升高的主要原因。 高嘌呤食物主要包括以下几类： 食物种类例子 1. 动物内脏各种动物的肝、肾、肚、脑、肠、舌、胰、脾、心等。 2. 海鲜特定鱼类，如：凤尾鱼、鲭鱼、鲶鱼、三文鱼等。 贝类：生蚝、牡蛎、扇贝等。 虾类：皮皮虾、江虾、小虾米、青虾、龙虾等。 蟹类：河蟹、大闸蟹等。 其他海洋动物：海兔（海蛞蝓）、鱿鱼、八爪鱼等。 海洋动物的卵类：鱼卵、虾卵、蟹卵等。 3. 肉汤或肉火锅汤（尤其是海鲜或肉汤底）、老火汤等。 需要注意的是，食物中的嘌呤含量与其细胞核的数量相关。这是因为嘌呤是制造脱氧核糖核酸（DNA）的重要原料，而DNA主要存在于细胞核, 因此, 细胞核越多，嘌呤含量就越高。 这就是为什么动物内脏的嘌呤含量通常高于普通肉类。这些内脏功能复杂，细胞核密集，经过烹煮后便释放出大量嘌呤。 那么，为什么某些海鲜的嘌呤含量也会那么高呢？ 这是因为我们吃海鲜时，有时会连同其内脏一起食用。比如，虾头里有很多内脏，其中包括心、肝、胃等。因此，如果只吃海鲜肉的部分（如：虾肉等），嘌呤含量则相对较低。 至于肉汤或肉汁，它们通常由是由骨头或动物内脏长时间熬制而成。在烹煮过程中，食材中的嘌呤往往会溶解在汤中，导致汤汁中的嘌呤含量变高。...

马来西亚健康饮食餐盘，让你轻松吃出健康！
马来西亚健康饮食餐盘，让你轻松吃出健康！ By Island Hospital | May 29, 2024 12:00:00 PM Medical Reviewer: Clinical Dietitian, Island Hospital 谈及营养均衡的饮食，多数人可能会想：“只要遵循食物金字塔的原则进食就可以了！” 然而，食物金字塔仅告诉我们均衡饮食的基本准则，它并没有阐明各种食物类别在每一餐中的比例。 这时，名为 “马来西亚健康饮食餐盘” 的饮食指南便派上用场啦！ 在世界营养日来临之际，让我们一起深入了解这个饮食指南，看看如何将其融入我们的日常饮食当中吧！ 什么是马来西亚健康饮食餐盘？ 来源： 马来西亚卫生部 马来西亚健康饮食餐盘是马来西亚卫生部发布的饮食指南。它以食物金字塔的饮食准则为基础，展示了一餐内应食用的各种食物类别的比例。 有了这个饮食指南，你可以轻松养成健康的饮食习惯，从而满足你日常的营养需求，助你保持最佳的健康状态。 如何按照马来西亚健康饮食餐盘规划你的饮食 想按照马来西亚健康饮食餐盘规划你的饮食吗？很简单，你只需遵循“四分之一、四分之一、一半"（Suku, Suku, Separuh）的原则。 首先，想象你有一个盘子。然后，把盘子分为三个部分：盘子的一半装上蔬菜和水果，盘子的四分之一装上碳水化合物，剩下的四分之一则装上蛋白质。 蔬果 蔬菜和水果占据了马来西亚健康饮食餐的一半空间。 这是因为蔬果拥有丰富的营养价值。它们富含维生素、抗氧化剂、矿物质和纤维，对维持人体健康起到关键作用。 例如，摄取足够的蔬果有利于提高免疫力、促进消化、降低肥胖风险，以及减少罹患慢性病的风险，其中包括糖尿病、心脏病和癌症 [1]。 如果想获取多样化的营养，那就在饮食中包含不同颜色的蔬果吧！ 蔬果基本上可被归纳为五种主要颜色：红色、橙色或黄色、绿色、蓝色或紫色、白色或棕色。不同的颜色分别代表不同的营养成分。 红辣椒和西瓜等红色蔬果是鞣花酸和茄红素的优质来源，有助于降低患癌风险。胡萝卜和芒果等橙色或黄色蔬果则含有丰富的类胡萝卜素，对眼部健康至关重要 [2]。 另外，芥菜和菠菜等绿叶蔬菜富含维生素K，对骨骼健康大有裨益。蓝莓和茄子等蓝色或紫色蔬果则拥有丰富的花青素，有益于大脑健康和心血管健康 [2]。最后，荔枝和蘑菇等白色或棕色蔬果富含植物营养素，这些营养素具有抗肿瘤和抗炎特性。 可是，你该如何在每一餐摄取足够的蔬果呢? 首先，你可以饮用由你最爱的蔬果制成的果昔...

想了解「阴道炎」？病因及治疗方案一次看! By Island Hospital | May 13, 2024 12:00:00 PM 阴道炎是很多女性难以启齿的妇科疾病之一。 研究表明，不少患有阴道炎的女性为此而感到焦虑和羞耻。其中，这种心理状态在阴道炎反复发作的女性群体中尤为严重。 然而，患上阴道炎并不可耻。今天，让我们通过这篇文章，一起来全面了解阴道炎这个常见的妇科疾病吧！ 简单了解阴道分泌物 深入了解阴道炎之前，我们得先了解阴道分泌物，因为这是诊断阴道炎的重要依据。 阴道分泌物也被称为“白带”，主要由阴道皮肤细胞、寄生在阴道内的各种细菌以及子宫等分泌的液体组成。这些分泌物不仅有抗菌的功效，同时也起着润滑阴道的作用。 正常的阴道分泌物一般呈白色或透明，不会有强烈或难闻的气味。根据月经周期和荷尔蒙变化等因素，阴道分泌物的粘稠度和分泌量也有所不同。怀孕期间、进行性活动时或服用口服避孕药后，阴道可能会产生较多的分泌物。 什么是阴道炎？ 顾名思义，阴道炎是发生在阴道的炎症。 患上阴道炎的原因一般包括： 不当的个人卫生习惯：不常或过度清洁阴道、排尿或排便后习惯由后往前擦拭 阴道长期处于潮湿的环境中 阴道受到刺激或产生过敏反应 阴道或盆腔组织损伤 阴道菌群失调 阴道感染了细菌、真菌等致病微生物 雌激素水平下降 阴道炎的种类 阴道炎可分为非感染性和感染性两大类。 非感染性阴道炎多由阴道受到刺激、损伤或产生过敏反应所致；感染性阴道炎则由细菌、原虫、病毒、真菌等致病微生物引起。 感染性阴道炎的类型繁多。其中，细菌性阴道炎、念珠菌性阴道炎及滴虫性阴道炎属于常见的感染性阴道炎。 阴道炎的症状 普遍上，阴道炎的症状包括： 阴道分泌物的气味、颜色或分泌量出现变化 阴道红肿、疼痛或瘙痒 性交和排尿时感到疼痛 阴道轻微出血 值得注意的是，不同类型的感染性阴道炎会出现不同的症状，详见下表： 阴道炎种类症状 细菌性阴道炎 阴道不会感到瘙痒。 阴道分泌物呈泡沫状；灰白色。 阴道分泌物带有腥味。 念珠菌性阴道炎 阴道瘙痒。...

腰痛怎么办？深入解析腰痛原因与解决方法！
腰痛怎么办？深入解析腰痛原因与解决方法！ By Island Hospital | Apr 8, 2024 3:00:00 PM 腰痛是常见的健康问题，任何人都可能受其影响。 2018年的数据显示，70%至85%的人在一生中至少会经历一次腰痛。 然而，持续的腰痛不仅影响生活质量，严重时甚至会导致行动不便，危害身心健康。 现在，让我们深入了解腰痛这一现象，看看腰痛时该怎么办吧！ 什么是腰痛？ 腰痛是指肋骨下方和臀部上方的身体部位疼痛，常发生于30岁至50岁的人群。 腰痛可分为： 特异性腰痛 (specific lower back pain)：因脊柱相关疾病或结构性问题而造成的腰部疼痛，或是从身体其他部位通过腰部传送来的疼痛。 非特异性腰痛 (non-specific lower back pain)：无法确定疼痛的具体病因或结构性原因的腰部疼痛，约90%的病例属于此例，如：腰部扭伤（俗称 “闪到腰”）等。 腰痛的痛感共有3种： 急性（痛感持续4周或更少） 亚急性（痛感持续4至12周） 慢性（痛感持续超过12周） 腰痛的原因 想知道腰痛时该怎么办，就得先知道造成腰痛的原因，才能对症下药。 以下是一些导致腰痛的常见原因： 退行性疾病：椎间盘相关疾病、骨关节炎、骨质疏松症等。 创伤性原因：韧带破裂或扭伤、肌肉痉挛或拉伤、背部创伤等。 结构性异常：椎间盘凸出或椎间盘脱出、脊椎滑脱、坐骨神经痛等。 炎症性疾病：脊柱关节炎等。 其他原因：腰部肌肉劳损、举重物的姿势不当、长期久坐、姿势不良等。 其中，退行性疾病是指随着人体老化、身体机能逐渐衰退而引起的疾病。 腰痛的诊断方式 造成腰痛的原因相当多样。 因此，医生一般会让你进行X 光检查、计算机断层扫描（CT...

想降低胆固醇？那就远离这些食物吧！
想降低胆固醇？那就远离这些食物吧！ By Island Hospital | Mar 25, 2024 11:00:00 AM 胆固醇是血液中的一种脂质 (lipid)，在人体的各种功能中扮演重要的角色。然而，当血液中含有过量的胆固醇时，这将妨碍血液的流通，从而引发一系列的健康问题。 每年，全球至少有440万人因高胆固醇相关疾病而丧生。 如果你的胆固醇水平过高，别担心！健康的饮食习惯是有助于降低胆固醇的。 在这个世界卫生日，让我们一起来关注心血管健康，看看胆固醇高的人究竟不能吃什么吧！ 什么是胆固醇？ 进入正题之前，我们先来简单了解胆固醇。 胆固醇是形成人体细胞膜的必要成分之一，同时也是合成胆汁酸、维生素D以及甾体激素的原料。 胆固醇共有两种——低密度脂蛋白（LDL，全称 low-density lipoprotein，俗称“坏胆固醇”）和高密度脂蛋白（HDL，全称 high-density lipoprotein，俗称 “好胆固醇”）。 其中，LDL是导致各种健康问题的元凶。 若血管内有过多的LDL，它们将在血管中形成脂肪沉积。长久以往，这些沉积物可能会破裂并形成凝块。这将阻断血流，进而引发心脏病、中风等其他疾病。 因此， 我们常说的 “胆固醇高” 通常是指LDL水平过高；“降低胆固醇” 一般上是指要降低LDL水平。 另一方面，HDL则负责将各种形式的胆固醇和脂肪沉积带给肝脏处理，再排出体外。这样，我们的血液就得以在血管中畅通无阻，从而有效降低罹患心血管疾病的风险。 胆固醇高不能吃什么？ 提高LDL（坏胆固醇）水平、降低HDL（好胆固醇）水平的食品是胆固醇水平过高的人应该少吃，甚至是不能吃的，具体详情如下： 高反式脂肪的食物 反式脂肪 (trans fat) 是人造的食用脂肪，主要存在于： 1. 精炼植物油玉米油 （0.25 g trans fat/100...

骨痛热症：完整指南
骨痛热症：完整指南 By Island Hospital | Mar 22, 2024 2:00:00 PM 骨痛热症，也称为登革热 (dengue fever) 和断骨热 (break-bone fever)，主要通过蚊子传播，是全球最普遍的蚊媒疾病之一。 20多年以来，世界各地的骨痛热症病例逐年增加。 根据世界卫生组织 (WHO) 的报告，骨痛热症的全球发病率由2000年的约50万例增至约420万例（2022年），每年更是平均夺走2万条人命！ 可见，骨痛热症的危害不容忽视。一起来深入了解这个疾病吧！ 什么是骨痛热症？ 骨痛热症是由骨痛热症病毒 (dengue virus) 引起的病毒性热病 (viral fever)。该病毒共有四个变种——DENV-1、DENV-2、DENV-3 和 DENV-4。 染上某个病毒变种后，人们将对该变种终身免疫。然而，若不幸接触到其他病毒变种，人们有机会再次感染骨痛热症，症状也将比之前更严重。 骨痛热症常见于热带与亚热带气候的地区，因为这些地区的气候炎热潮湿，为蚊子提供了生存、繁殖和传播病毒所需的理想条件。 骨痛热症的传播途径 骨痛热症主要通过带有骨痛热症病毒的雌性黑斑蚊（或称伊蚊，Aedes mosquito）传染给人类。与一般蚊子不同，黑斑蚊的身上及脚上拥有白色环纹，相当有辨识度。 当受病毒感染的蚊子叮咬人类后，该病毒将进入人体。接着，人们将在未来的3至14天（平均4至7天）内出现骨痛热症的症状。 骨痛热症的症状 一般上，大部分感染骨痛热症的人仅出现轻微症状，有时甚至没有任何症状。 轻微症状： 突发的持续性高烧 (39℃ 或以上) 皮疹（皮肤出现红色斑点） 骨骼、肌肉、关节、眼球后方以及头部剧痛 腺体肿大...
