Thanks to its rich vitamin C and antioxidant compounds, oranges have the ability to promote blood filtration, increasing uric acid excretion through urine.
Nutritionists recommend that adults can supplement 1-2 fresh oranges per day, equivalent to 200-300ml of orange juice. You should drink it about 30 minutes after meals, avoid on an empty stomach to limit stomach irritation. In addition, instead of just drinking juice, eating orange bags will help add more fiber, good for digestion and blood sugar control.
Dr. Hyon K. Choi, gout expert at Boston University (USA), once emphasized in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: Vitamin C from fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits has the effect of reducing uric acid levels in the blood, thanks to enhancing the excretion function of the kidneys. People who maintain adequate vitamin C intake are less likely to develop acute gout attacks.
However, oranges are not a "pharing" for gout. Patients still need to combine a reasonable diet: limit alcohol, red meat, seafood, and drink plenty of water to maintain the elimination process. For people with stomach disease or diabetes, using oranges should consult a doctor to avoid unwanted side effects.
