In fact, when you catch a cold, inflammation often spreads to the lower respiratory tract such as the trachea and bronchi.

An unusually high amount of uric acid occurs when purine is increased or when the amount of purine is broken down to become uric acid.
Preventing overeating, drinking, and excessive purine removal can reduce the risk of hyperuricemia and gout attacks.

●Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is a disease that results from an abnormality in insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar in the diet into energy.
