People who are suffering from gout or uric acid need some medical attention or some get relieved through home remedies. There is a need for dietary and lifestyle changes which help reduce uric acid and the risk of gout and may even protect against future flare-ups in people with this condition. However, gout risk depends on many reasons, not just lifestyle, so it’s important to consult your doctor for the best gout prevention methods.
When the body breaks down purines, it produces uric acid. Metabolizing purine-rich foods can lead to gout because the body produces excess uric acid. On the other hand, some foods rich in purines have health benefits, so the goal is to reduce your intake of purines rather than avoid them altogether.
Avoid foods with high purine content such as; Tuna, mussels, and herring, Excess alcohol, including beer and liquor. High-fat foods, such as dairy products, red meat, organ meats, and Sugary foods and beverages
Eat low-purine foods- By switching from foods with high purine content to those with lower purine content, some people may be able to steadily lower their uric acid levels or at least avoid further increases. Some foods with low purine content include Low-fat and fat-free dairy products, peanut butter and nuts, fruits and vegetables, whole-grain rice, bread, potatoes, Coffee.
Dietary changes alone won’t be enough to curtail gout disease, but they can help prevent flare-ups.
Limit medications that tremendously raise uric acid. Talk to your doctor before changing medications. Healthy body weight can help lower the risk of gout flare-ups.
Obesity raises the chances of gout, especially in young people. Being overweight also increases your risk of metabolic syndrome. It leads to higher blood pressure and cholesterol levels and increases the risk of heart disease. Being overweight is also associated with a higher risk of uric acid in the blood, which increases the risk of gout.
Sudden weight loss, especially when fasting, can also increase uric acid levels. To avoid this, people should focus on long-term and sustainable changes to their weight management, such as becoming more active, eating a healthy diet and choosing nutrient-rich foods.
Drinking a lot of alcohol and sugary drinks, such as soft drinks and sugary juices, is associated with an increase in the risk of developing gout.
As per the research coffee drinkers have a lower risk of gout. Women who drank 1-3 cups of coffee per day had a 22% lower risk of gout than those who didn’t drink coffee.
