Dr. Yang Tiesheng
Patients with high uric acid levels can moderately consume zucchini. Zucchini is a low-purine food, typically containing less than 25 mg of purines per 100 grams, so its consumption does not significantly increase uric acid levels in the body. For individuals with elevated uric acid, maintaining a low-purine diet is essential, and high-purine foods such as seafood and animal offal should be avoided as much as possible. Additionally, increasing water intake and engaging in moderate exercise can also help lower uric acid levels. While maintaining a balanced diet, moderate consumption of zucchini is a healthy choice for patients with high uric acid.
