1. Maintain a reasonable weight
If you keep your weight stable, it will help insulin in the body work effectively, thereby eliminating excess sugar in the blood, limiting insulin resistance and reducing uric acid levels. Thanks to that, the risk of kidney stone formation and gout attacks will be lower.
2. Drink enough water
The body will excrete urine and maintain stable uric acid levels in the blood when provided with enough water, so drinking enough water is very necessary. If you are active and sweat a lot, you should supplement more water to avoid imbalance.
3. Limit alcohol and beer
Alcohol and beer are common causes of kidney stones and gout. The body often prioritizes excreting alcohol before uric acid, causing uric acid to gradually accumulate and crystallize in the body. Therefore, it is best to minimize or completely abstain from alcohol and beer.
4. Vitamin C supplementation
Supplementing vitamin C daily can help the kidneys excrete more uric acid through urine, helping to reduce the risk of gout attacks.
5. Adopting a low-purine diet
A low-purine diet is also important for keeping uric acid levels low, limiting kidney stones and gout.
Limiting foods rich in purines such as red meat, animal organs, seafood and some types of fish... is a way to help reduce uric acid levels in the body.
