Here are 10 foods and drinks that help control uric acid levels, helping to prevent and reduce symptoms of gout.

1. Coffee

Coffee is not only a popular beverage, but it also helps reduce uric acid levels. According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, coffee drinkers have a lower risk of gout. The antioxidants in coffee help reduce uric acid.

2. Foods rich in magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral that helps reduce inflammation and control uric acid. Magnesium-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, and whole grains help to effectively excrete uric acid.

Adding spinach to a smoothie or sprinkling nuts on oatmeal is a simple way to add magnesium to your breakfast, which can help prevent joint problems and reduce the risk of gout flare-ups.

3. Banana

Bananas are a natural low-purine food that helps reduce the risk of uric acid buildup. A study published in the journal Nutrients found that the potassium content in bananas helps balance the body's acid-base levels, helping to prevent uric acid buildup. Eating bananas in the morning is not only good for your health but also helps you lose weight effectively.

4. Ginger

Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which are especially helpful for people with gout. Ginger does not directly reduce uric acid, but it can reduce the pain and inflammation caused by gout. Adding fresh ginger to tea is a simple way to help control gout.

5. Cherries

Cherries are very effective in reducing the risk of gout. Research published in the Journal of Arthritis and Rheumatology shows that people who eat cherries have a lower risk of gout attacks thanks to antioxidants and anthocyanins.

These compounds help reduce inflammation and prevent uric acid crystals from forming in your joints. You can add cherries to smoothies, oatmeal, or eat them as a snack.

6. Celery

Celery helps reduce uric acid levels thanks to natural compounds in this vegetable. Celery also has anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce swelling and discomfort caused by gout.

7. Apple

Apples contain fiber that helps absorb excess uric acid and eliminate it from the body. In addition, malic acid in apples has the effect of neutralizing uric acid.

A study in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that apples are effective in reducing uric acid levels. You can eat apples directly, make smoothies or combine them with yogurt for a nutritious breakfast.

8. Green tea

Green tea is a beverage rich in antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and control uric acid levels. Polyphenols and catechins in green tea help prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Drinking a cup of green tea in the morning not only helps prevent gout but is also good for your overall health.

9. Hibiscus tea

Hibiscus tea contains polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help reduce uric acid levels effectively. According to the Journal of Functional Foods, hibiscus tea also helps maintain healthy kidney function and prevent gout.

10. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

Apple cider vinegar helps increase the alkalinity of urine, which aids in the excretion of uric acid. A Japanese study found that maintaining the alkalinity of urine plays an important role in reducing uric acid levels. You can add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to warm water and drink it in the morning to control uric acid and prevent gout.
