Luckily, there are several super-foods that are probably already a part of your everyday diet that help alleviate the symptoms of gout.
The pectin and vitamin C in apples can help alleviate gout. The vitamin C helps strengthen the immune system and the pectin helps the joints remain flexible.
Onions protect the circulatory system and are a powerful antibiotic. They're good for urinary tract infections, and their diuretic activity helps with arthritis, rheumatism and gout.
Beets are richer
than spinach in iron and other minerals, and the greens are helpful in cases of
gout since the iron helps oxygenate and purify the bloodstream.
It’s also important to drink plenty of water to help keep the kidneys
filtrating properly and to prevent the formation of kidney stones. Avoid foods that are high in purines, as they
account for approximately 50 percent of the uric acid produced in the
body. Organ meats like liver,
sweetbreads, brains, kidney, meat gravies, meat extracts, scallops, wild game,
mackerel, herring, anchovies and sardines and cauliflower are all high in
purinesAs always check with your primary care provider for before starting any diet regimen.
