00:00:03.102 --> 00:00:05.922 
Should people with high uric
acid levels eat blood cockles? 

00:00:06.722 --> 00:00:11.062 
Blood cockles are a nutritious seafood,
providing lots of protein and essential minerals. 

00:00:11.822 --> 00:00:15.156 
However, blood cockles also contain high
levels of purines, which can increase 

00:00:15.156 --> 00:00:16.822 
uric acid levels in the blood. 

00:00:17.102 --> 00:00:19.702 
causing the risk of gout and other health problems. 

00:00:20.242 --> 00:00:24.181 
Controlling blood cockles intake and
taking measures to reduce uric acid are 

00:00:24.181 --> 00:00:25.822 
necessary to protect overall health. 

00:00:25.822 --> 00:00:30.397 
When a purine oil diet is prolonged, the
kidneys' ability to filter uric acid is 

00:00:30.397 --> 00:00:33.142 
overloaded, leading to uric acid
accumulation in the blood. 

00:00:33.862 --> 00:00:37.593 
The consequence of high uric acid
leading to acute gout is when urate 

00:00:37.593 --> 00:00:39.602 
crystals accumulate in the joints causing inflammation, 

00:00:39.862 --> 00:00:42.282 
swelling, severe pain, especially
of the big toe. 

00:00:43.102 --> 00:00:46.822 
At the same time, uric acid can
crystallize in the kidneys, impairing kidney function. 

00:00:47.582 --> 00:00:51.262 
And high uric acid levels are linked to
an increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. 

00:00:51.262 --> 00:00:54.328 
Therefore, it is necessary to control
the amount of blood cockles 

00:00:54.328 --> 00:00:55.722 
consumed to prevent these complications.
