By Using these Natural Gout Remedies you can learn to structure your diet to avoid those foods that will trigger a gout attack.
There is no cure for gout!! And this has probably got you wondering ..about what causes gout and what you can do to help?
So let's determine what foods we should be having healthy helpings of, and the "nasties" we should be avoiding like the plague.
"Be temperate in eating, wine, girls and sloth. Or the gout will seize you and plague you both".
~ Benjamin Franklin ~
Always ensure that you have enough potassium in your diet to avoid a debilitating gout attack.
Potassium aids the excretion of uric acid by maintaining the pH levels in the body fluids and keeping the urine alkaline.
Purines are natural substances found in most foods and found in all of the body's cells.
It is normal and healthy for uric acid to be formed in the body from the breakdown of purines, but in certain instances the uric acid levels can become too high.
When this happens a bout of gout could occur, so you need to avoid the foods that are high in purines and help prevent the gradual build-up of uric acid salts in the joints.
OK so far? mmmph!
Sorry chaps, but beer and alcohol is out, or at the very least, should be drunk in moderation.
Been overweight is commonly associated with gout and can help speed up the onset of symptoms.
