  PREVENTING GOUT / HIGH URIC ACID
  • Improve the healthy function of your blood cleaners - the liver and kidneys. The better they are working, the better they can clean your blood of uric acid and toxins.
  • Reduce the amount of protein in the diet. The protein requirement for the day is 0.8 gm/ Kg ideal body weight. Soya is the richest source of protein. Cut off the animal sources of protein.
  • Drink lots of fluids, especially the plain water. Try to drink 2 - 3 litres a day. Dehydration reduces kidney function and can lead to uric acid build-up. Slightly alkaline natural spring water may help reduce the acidity in your body.
  • Reduce the amount of meat in your diet because meat is rich in uric acid forming components. Consider a vegetarian lifestyle.
  • Eat plenty of raw fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, and nuts. Cherries and strawberries appear to be most beneficial.
  • Avoid purine rich foods like anchovies, asparagus, crab, fish roe (caviar), herring, kidney, liver, meat gravies and broths, mushrooms, mussels, peas, beans, sweet breads, sardines, mackerel, brain, liver, beef, alcohol, beer, red wine, scallops, game meats, meat extracts, cauliflower, spinach.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol. Avoiding rapid weight loss while seeking an appropriate weight/height ratio. Excess body weight and crash dieting both can result in increased uric acid levels in the blood. Reduce any extra weight slowly and healthfully.
