Gout Prevention
This
article takes a look at steps you can take to prevent gout attacks.
...
... There are
several steps individuals can take to avoid gout attacks,following the
plan outlined is an excellent method of gout prevention.
Keep
yourself warm
One of the
main triggers of gout is exposure to cold.This is because the cold
weather has a direct affect on the uric acid crystals.
Keeping yourself warm is a simple precaution to take, basically you
just need to make sure your hands, wrists, ankles, ears, elbows, toes
and knees are covered up before you are exposed to the cold. Most
people do this anyway, but I mentioned this because it is
extra important to protect your joints from the cold if you suffer from
gout.
Consume
more fluids.
Fluids,
particularly water help the body to dilute uric acid in the blood, it
also helps the kidneys to expel it. In order to make sure you are
consuming enough water you need to keep a mental record of how many
glasses of water you drink a day. Health experts recommend that adults
should drink at least ten 8 ounce glasses of water daily. Doing this
will lower the amounts of uric acid in your blood stream, reducing the
chances of you having a gout attack.
Control
what you eat.
If you
suffer from gout, ideally you would need to completely avoid foods that
are high in purine content, because this substance is metabolized by
the body and produces uric acid. And the more uric acid in your blood
the higher the chance of a gout attack. The high purine foods you need
to look out for include: red and dark meet, herring, fish roe,
sausages, organ meet and dark fillet.
If you
suffer from gout attacks it is a good idea to speak to a dietitian in
order to get more information on gout prevention through your diet.
Maintain
your bodies PH levels.
Excessive
intake of the following substances can lower the PH of your body: tea,
coffee, alcohol, carbonated drinks, protein, vitamin C, aspirin and
foods that have high chlorine, sulfur or phosphorus can lower the
bodies PH levels. This can cause problems for gout sufferers because
uric acid becomes more soluble in the blood and this increases the
chance of a gout attack.
Certain
medical conditions can also make the body more acidic, these include
hypothyroidism, psoriasis and lead poisoning.
