Uric Acid and Salt
Is the consumption of salt a contributor to high level of uric acid?
Yes, salt can be the cause for high levels of uric acid.
We know that salt might be the cause for high blood pressure. What we also need to know is that salt can be the cause for high levels of uric acid.
what is the mechanism for which salt becomes uric acid?
When we consume salt and don’t drink enough water, the metabolism of salt will be transformed to fructose.
This fructose will degrade the ATP generation that will cause an increase of the ADP and AMP molecules.
Ultimately the AMP will metabolize into uric acid.
How is high uric acid affect our health?
The uric acid can be present inside the cell or outside it. When is inside the cell, it will create oxidation which is a destructive process to the creation of the ATP.
When the uric acid is outside the cell, it will be transformed into crystals that will cause gout.
So, if you want to know the source of the high blood pressure or the reasons for gout, check the level of the uric acid.
Therefore, it is recommended not to consume too much salt or fructose (sweet fruits), and to drink plenty of water.
