Patients with gout must avoid high-purine and high-protein foods, as well as high-calorie foods. They should not consume seafood, spicy or stimulating foods, raw, cold, fried, or greasy foods, or animal offal. It is essential to drink plenty of water, abstain from alcohol and tobacco, get adequate rest, and avoid staying up late. Overweight patients should also lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight.
