Uric acid is the final product of the breakdown of purines in the body. When uric acid accumulates in the blood, it can crystallize and cause gout.
To control uric acid, diet plays an important role, especially dinner - the time when metabolism slows down, making it easier to accumulate toxins.
One of the recommended vegetables to eat for dinner to support uric acid excretion is celery. According to research, celery contains active ingredients apigenin and luteoline, which can inhibit the production of uric acid. At the same time, celery also has a diuretic effect, helping to increase uric acid excretion through urine. Adding celery extract to your diet helps reduce uric acid levels in the blood by 18-20% in people at high risk.
In addition to celery, alkaline vegetables such as cucumber, squash, squash, and collard greens also help balance blood pH and increase the ability to dissolve uric acid, thereby making it easier for the kidneys to excrete. Green vegetables contain a lot of fiber, support digestion and reduce the absorption of purines from foods rich in animal protein - the main cause of increased uric acid.
However, you should avoid some vegetables such as asparagus, spinach, and cauliflower in the evening because these vegetables contain a relatively high amount of purines, which can increase uric acid if eaten in large quantities.
