1. Diet rich in vitamin C
A diet rich in vitamin C helps reduce uric acid. Foods rich in vitamin C such as oranges, lemons, coriander, mint, guava... are very good sources of vitamin C. Besides, a diet with enough vitamin C can also prevent uric acid reabsorption in the kidneys.
You can add vitamin C to your diet with a glass of lemon water or eating fresh fruit.
2. Drink 1-2 cups of black coffee
According to researchers, drinking black coffee can reduce uric acid levels in the blood. When we drink black coffee, chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant found in black coffee, improves insulin resistance. However, if milk is added to coffee it can reduce the absorption of this compound. Therefore, you should drink black coffee instead of milk coffee to achieve the best results.
In addition, each cup of black coffee should be drunk with a glass of water to avoid causing dehydration in the body.
3. Limit beer consumption
Beer is rich in purine, a compound that leads to high levels of uric acid in the blood. All types of alcoholic beverages will cause uric acid levels to increase because beer and wine can reduce the body's ability to excrete uric acid and increase uric acid production.
If you want to use alcoholic beverages, you should only drink a moderate amount (about 120 ml/day) to not increase uric acid.
4. Lose weight
Losing weight improves insulin sensitivity, one of the reasons for high serum uric acid levels. If your body has a high level of insulin resistance, your body's insulin will not work effectively, and blood sugar will be stored as fat.
Therefore, you should lose weight and reduce body fat by controlling your diet, arranging reasonable meal times and paying attention to meal menus to control high uric acid levels.
