According to the World Health Organization, a diet rich in green vegetables, low in purines and rich in alkaline substances can help reduce the risk of uric acid accumulation in the body.
Research shows that increasing the consumption of green vegetables helps regulate blood pH, promoting the excretion of uric acid through the kidneys.
Water spinach is a naturally alkaline vegetable that helps neutralize the acid environment in the body and supports the excretion of uric acid through urine.
Water spinach is rich in magnesium, potassium and vitamin C, which are micronutrients that reduce inflammation and enhance kidney function - the agency primarily responsible for eliminating uric acid.
Synthetic analysis from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) also shows that a diet rich in potassium from vegetables and fruits helps increase the ability to filter uric acid through the urine.
Take advantage of processing methods to reduce uric acid
To effectively promote water spinach to help reduce uric acid, it is necessary to pay attention to how to prepare it.
Be boiled or stir-fried with less oil, not combined with foods rich in purines such as seafood, red meat, animal organs.
Gout patients should eat water spinach 2-3 times a week, combined with a full water diet to support the process of eliminating uric acid.
Water spinach is not a treatment for gout, but if eaten properly and combined with a scientific lifestyle, it can actively contribute to controlling and reducing uric acid levels in the blood.
