Gout Diet
This article looks at
the effect your diet has on gout.
...
... Gout is a
terrible condition, but it can be controlled by eating healthily, and
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Gout occurs when the body produces too
much uric acid, which is created when the body metabolises purine. If a
food has moderate levels of purine the body has no problem disposing of
the uric acid, it is the purine rich foods that you have to watch out
for.
If you are
trying to alleviate the symptoms of gout these are the foods that you
need to avoid as they are exceptionally high in purine; offal,
mackerel, sardines, anchovies, scallops, fish roe, red meats, kidney,
liver, pulses( i.e. lentils and peas), yeast and shell fish.
The
following foods contain a moderate amount of purine, so these should be
taken in moderation: Whole grain breads and cereal, fresh fish,
saltwater fish, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, oatmeal, asparagus,
poultry and eggs.
Gout
sufferers should make sure their diet includes fresh fruit and
vegetables, seeds and grains. They can also consume low fat cheese,
tea, coffee, and nuts because these foods and drinks are low in purine.
Some people
recommend gout sufferers eat cherries, strawberries and blackberries.
Berries that are dark in color are believed to be rich in chemicals
that help to lower the levels of uric acid in the blood.
Gout
sufferers must reduce alcohol intake at all costs, and they need to
drink plenty of fluids, particularly water because these fluids help
the body to eliminate uric acid, and this stops it from building up in
the blood stream.
Since gout
is more prevalent in the obese and overweight, it is recommended that
some one who is overweight follows an exercise plan. However avoid
sudden weight loss because this can actually increase the levels of
uric acid in the body.
Following
these simple steps, along with taking medication will lower the risk of
further gout attacks.
