Can I eat daikon radish with high uric acid levels?
Disease description:
I personally really enjoy eating white radishes, but I have a condition of high uric acid. I would like to ask, is it okay for someone with high uric acid to eat white radishes?

Patients with high uric acid levels can consume white radish. As a vegetable, white radish has a relatively low purine content, making it suitable for patients with hyperuricemia. The purine content of white radish is only 9 to 10.98 milligrams per 100 grams, far below the standard for a low-purine diet, and therefore will not significantly increase uric acid levels. Additionally, white radish is rich in water, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and various minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. It has multiple health benefits, including clearing heat, promoting body fluid production, stimulating appetite, aiding digestion, and improving skin health. These nutrients help promote overall health and enhance immunity, which is also beneficial for patients with high uric acid levels. Although white radish has low purine content, patients with hyperuricemia still need to control their overall purine intake and avoid consuming excessive high-purine foods such as seafood, animal offal, and beer. If needed, patients can consult a professional physician or dietitian for personalized dietary guidance.
