In June 11, 2024, at 6:30 PM, a 55-year-old man woke up in pain, finding his ankle and foot joints swollen, red, and hot, making it difficult to walk due to a gout attack. With nearly a million people seeking medical treatment for gout annually in Taiwan, the condition is attributed to refined dietary habits leading to high uric acid levels. Nutritionist Wang Shu-ying advises on managing gout through medication, balanced diet, lifestyle adjustments, and weight control to reduce uric acid. Consuming alcohol, seafood, and sugary drinks can trigger gout, hence the advice of 'Three Restrictions and One Emphasis' on avoiding broth, alcohol, sugary drinks, and emphasizing water intake.
