According to metabolic experts, drinking enough water and using drinks containing vitamin C, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds can help the kidneys function more effectively.
These nutrients support reducing the uric acid production process, while promoting excretion through urine.
Among them, fruits and herb drinks with high polyphenol and vitamin content are considered a beneficial choice for people with hyperuricemia.
Lemon is a popular ingredient in many refreshing drinks and has also been researched quite a lot about its effects on uric acid. Lemon contains vitamin C and natural citrate, two ingredients that can help support metabolism and uric acid elimination.
Perilla has long been used in traditional Asian medicine as a herb to support digestion and reduce inflammation. Perilla leaves contain many polyphenols, flavonoids and rosmarinic acid, compounds with strong antioxidant properties.
These compounds can help reduce inflammatory reactions related to urate crystals in joints. At the same time, antioxidants in perilla also contribute to protecting kidney cells from oxidative stress - a factor that can impair kidney filtration function.
When cooking perilla water or combining perilla with fruits, this drink can provide additional biological compounds to support the metabolism and excretion of uric acid.
Plums are fruits rich in polyphenols and vitamin C, nutrients that have been studied to reduce the risk of increased uric acid. Vitamin C can help reduce uric acid levels by increasing urate secretion through the kidneys.
