Ginger tea
Ginger is known for its natural anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, helping to relieve pain and stiffness that are common in people with gout. Just boil a few slices of fresh ginger with water, drink while it is still warm; you can add a little honey to make it easier to drink. Do not drink ginger tea on an empty stomach, especially for people who are often hot, refused or have stomach problems.
Warm chamomile tea
Chamomile tea has a calming effect on the nerves, improving sleep and reducing inflammatory reactions in the body. Getting enough sleep helps stabilize hormones and support metabolism, indirectly beneficial for uric acid control. Chamomile tea is suitable to drink in the evening, before bed.
Warm lemon water
Lemon is rich in vitamin C - a nutrient that can help regulate and reduce uric acid levels in the blood. Patients can mix half a lemon with a cup of warm water, drink in the morning or after meals. You can add a few slices of ginger or mint leaves to aid digestion. For people with stomach problems, they should drink it after eating to avoid irritation.
Blended black bean water
Roasted black beans in a bowl of water help cool, diuretic and support kidney function. When cooking, do not add sugar or add only a little salt. Drinking warm black bean water 2-3 times a week can help excrete natural uric acid.
Hot green tea
Green tea is rich in catechin, especially EGCG - an antioxidant compound with anti-inflammatory properties, which helps reduce joint pain and swelling during gout attacks. In addition, green tea also has a mild diuretic effect, supporting the excretion of uric acid through urine. Patients should only drink 1-2 glasses per day, in moderation, avoid drinking on an empty stomach or right after a rich meal. The tea brewing temperature is about 70-80°C, helping to retain the beneficial active ingredient.
Warm filtered water
Warm water is a simple but very beneficial choice for people with gout, especially in cold weather. Drinking warm water helps keep the body warm, improve blood circulation and boost metabolism, thereby supporting the reduction of uric acid. Patients should drink about 1.5-2 liters of water per day, divided into several times. Start your morning with a glass of warm water to stimulate digestion and naturally increase urination. Maintaining a regular water intake habit combined with a low-purine diet will help control uric acid and limit gout recurrence.
Coconut water
Coconut water provides many electrolytes, especially potassium - an important factor in maintaining fluid balance and supporting the filtering function of the kidneys. In the cold season, gout people should drink coconut water at room temperature to avoid causing discomfort to the digestive system. You should only drink about one cup of fresh coconut water per day, without added sugar, combined with water to maintain electrolyte balance and effectively support uric acid excretion.
