In the evening, when the body gradually relaxes, it is an ideal time to do light exercises to help support circulation, reduce joint stiffness and improve kidney function, thereby contributing to reducing uric acid levels in the blood.
According to Professor David Felson, a musculoskeletal specialist at the Boston University School of Public Health (USA): "Regular light exercise can improve the kidney's ability to filter and excrete uric acid, while reducing symptoms of arthritis caused by accumulated uric acid". Many international studies also note that light physical activity helps balance the synthesis and excretion of uric acid, reducing the risk of developing acute gout.
Relaxing 15-minute walk every night
Walking at a slow pace helps activate the circulatory system without causing stress to the joints. This low but steady impact supports the process of transporting uric acid to the kidneys for filtering and excreting more effectively.
Light on-site cycling for 10-12 minutes
Cycling exercises not only move the knee and ankle joints but also promote energy consumption, improve flexibility and reduce uric acid buildup around major joints.
Flexible stretching exercise 8-10 minutes
Stretching exercises for the back, hips and wrists help reduce stiffness, stimulate blood circulation and support relaxation, an important factor in improving sleep quality and the ability to regulate uric acid in the body.
Combining the above exercises with adequate hydration and a purine-restricted diet as recommended internationally will help reduce uric acid load, improve joint pain and improve quality of life.
