If you drink more coffee and less alcohol. should i follow the LUV diet?

Regulate your uric acid for weight loss and health. This is the belief of Dr. David Perlmutter, author of Poisonous acidbest seller in the US.

The principle

LUV diet (Lower ulric value) is a three-week program to learn how to manage and normalize uric acid, which comes exclusively from three sources: fructose, alcohol, and purines (organic compounds found in certain foods and body cells). When its level is too high, problems can arise: obesity, inflammation, cardiovascular problems, hypertension, diabetes, kidney stones, gout… Therefore, it is necessary to monitor it regularly.

Right rate

It is determined by a biological evaluation prescribed by a doctor. Then, according to Dr. David Perlmutter, it should be neither too low nor too high. More precisely, less than or equal to 5.5 mg/dL (and this, even if the labs only alarm at 7.5 mg/dL). That’s why he recommends going further and monitoring your rate very regularly, once a week, on an empty stomach and using a home measurement system (small devices sold in pharmacies or online).

We focus on food

Those that “heal” and help regulate uric acid levels: sour or sweet cherries, pomegranates, broccoli, blueberries, red onions, walnuts, green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini… Coffee is also an ally. And if you can’t stand it, caffeine will do just as well. Besides, don’t we say? “A cup or two of coffee a day keeps the doctor away.” On the other hand, we forget about or use very little in moderation about seafood, red meat, offal, mushrooms, asparagus, fructose, alcohol (especially beer and spirits) and anything that contains gluten… The book is full of recipes to help you get delicious prepare meals.

The effect on our weight

Uric acid is at the heart of many biochemical reactions that, in a cascade, lead to oxidative stress. In particular, it increases the harmful effect of sugar. Research has shown that mice fed a high-fructose diet ate more and moved less, thus accumulating more fat. The reason for this weight gain. This is partly due to fructose-induced inhibition of leptin (the satiety hormone). Not to mention its effects on the liver, fat metabolism, insulin resistance…

And nutritional supplements

The expert recommends quercetin 500 mg/day, a polyphenol with antioxidant, anti-infectious and anti-inflammatory properties. DHA 1000 mg/day, an omega-3 fatty acid that reduces inflammation in the brain and throughout the body. It also reverses the harmful effects of a high-sugar diet. Vitamin C, at a rate of 500 mg/day, significantly reduces the level of uric acid in the blood and promotes its excretion through urine. Finally, at 1,200 mg/day, chlorella, this single-celled freshwater green algae with detoxifying properties, is being studied for its ability to lower uric acid levels.
