Understanding Gout
Gout is usually caused by the high level of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product created from the breakdown of purine, a natural substance found in various foods and produced within the body.
Uric acid in the blood is normally excreted through our urine. However, when excess uric acid cannot be excreted properly from the body, it tends to accumulate and form uric acid crystals. These crystals can then settle in your joints, leading to painful gout attacks. It can also deposit in your urinary tract, potentially causing uncomfortable stones.
Tips that can help to manage gout
AVOID overindulging in high-purine foods1
Adhering to a healthy and balanced diet may help control blood uric acid at normal levels. Practice eating in moderation and go easy on these 4 high-purine foods.
Alcohol
There is a link between gout attacks and the consumption of alcohol, especially beer, so it is good to stay away from it.
Seafood
Anchovies, shellfish, and sardines contain high purine, but you can have them in moderation.
Red meat, lamb, pork
These meats contain high purine levels which can increase the levels of uric acid.
Sugary & Sweet
Candies, baked goods, and even sweet fruit juices can cause gout attacks due to their high fructose content.
