Fresh milk and dairy products
lactic acid when accumulated can affect the metabolism of uric acid. Conversely, when the body increases lactic acid excretion, uric acid levels also decrease. Dairy products such as fresh milk, cheese, yogurt do not contain purines and also help promote the secretion of lactic acid, supporting the reduction of uric acid. Therefore, they are considered an ideal source of protein for people with gout.
Cherry
Cherries are rich in anthocyanin and vitamin C - antioxidants that can reduce inflammation. Sour cherry juice can help reduce uric acid levels and reduce the frequency of gout attacks. The polyphenol compounds in this fruit also help protect kidney function.
Berries
Berries are rich in polyphenols and phytochemicals, which help relieve pain and reduce gout inflammation. Regular consumption of unprocessed, natural berries will help reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and limit high uric acid.
Fruits rich in vitamin C
Guava, kiwi, tangerine, soursop and many other fruits rich in vitamin C have antioxidant effects, helping to lower uric acid in the blood. We should eat fresh fruit instead of drinking juice to avoid absorbing too much fructose - a factor that can increase uric acid.
unsweetened tea and black coffee
unsweetened tea and black coffee help increase urine excretion, thereby supporting uric acid excretion. However, you should only drink 1-3 cups of coffee per day. Drinking too much can cause anxiety, headaches or cause calcium loss.
Foods rich in omega-3
Salmon, mackerel, tuna, flaxseed, walnuts... are all rich in omega-3 - a fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain and swelling of the joints caused by gout. Eating in the right amount not only helps control gout but is also good for the heart, bringing double benefits.
