High uric acid in the blood is the main cause of gout and many other metabolic disorders.
In addition to controlling diet and lifestyle, almonds are considered a healthy food that can help reduce uric acid if used properly.
First of all, almond seeds have a very low purine content - an important factor because purines are direct metabolites of uric acid in the body. Thanks to that, almonds do not increase uric acid but also provide many beneficial nutrients such as fiber, vitamin E, magnesium and unsaturated fats. These components help improve kidney function, supporting the process of excreting uric acid out of the body through urine.
However, to achieve the effectiveness of reducing uric acid, the way of eating almonds plays a key role. First, housewives should include pure almonds in the family's diet. This means eating almond nuts without roasted salt, without sugar or spices. Salt and sugar can cause water retention, adversely affecting the kidneys and disrupting uric acid metabolism.
The way to promote the effect of almond seeds is that housewives should soak almonds in water for 6-8 hours, then peel them brown before eating. Soaking helps soften the seeds, reduces substances that can obstruct mineral absorption and help the body digest more easily.
It should be noted that people with high uric acid should only eat about 10-15 grains per day. Eating too many almonds can lead to excess energy, causing weight gain - a risk factor that worsens gout.
The ideal time to eat is in the morning or between meals, which helps stabilize blood sugar and reduce unhealthy cravings. Therefore, housewives can prepare a plate of almonds for members to use in breakfast or between meals during the day.
The special thing is that almonds should only be considered supporting foods, and cannot replace treatment drugs.
Therefore, if there are people in the family with high uric acid, it is necessary to combine eating almonds with drinking enough water, limiting purine-rich foods such as organs, seafood, red meat and maintaining a reasonable exercise lifestyle.
