According to Healthline and the Arthritis Foundation, avoiding regular breakfast is one of the common mistakes. When the body lacks energy, the process of purine breakdown in cells takes place more strongly, causing uric acid in the blood to increase. This is especially dangerous for people with a history of gout.
Another habit is to drink too little water after waking up. The body after a long night is often dehydrated, if not supplemented promptly, it will reduce the ability to excrete uric acid through the kidneys, thereby increasing blood concentration rapidly. Experts recommend drinking a glass of warm water right after waking up to stimulate kidney function better.
In addition, many people have the habit of eating breakfast with purines such as organs, red meat, salty seafood or processed foods. This is a group of foods that cause uric acid to spike, easily triggering gout attacks. Instead, you should prioritize oats, green vegetables, low-sugar fruits and nuts to maintain energy while still being safe for health.
Changing small habits in the morning can help control uric acid better, while preventing complications related to bones, joints and cardiovascular disease.
