The main cause of gout is that people regularly consume foods with high purine content such as seafood, animal organs, beans, etc., causing uric acid levels in the body to increase. This leads to metabolic disorders, which then form deposited urate crystals in the joints, causing joint pain and swelling.
We can apply the method of preventing uric acid by making green papaya tea.
Ingredients: 1 small green papaya and a little green tea or herbs.
Directions: Wash the green papaya and remove the seeds. Cut the green papaya into slices with shells and soak in water. Simmer for about 30 minutes.
Use green papaya boiling water collected from the soup cooking process and add a little green tea or herbs. Drink 3 times/week for 2 months, then drink 1-2 times/week.
Gout patients should follow a diary. Papaya has a low absorption effect, reducing swelling, smoothing the kinh, and reducing muscle stiffness. It can help treat gout, arthritis, foot and mouth disease, rheumatoid arthritis... Tea has a diuretic, pain-relieving effect and can help eliminate uric acid from the body. Therefore, green papaya tea has a certain effect in improving gout.
Because green papaya is acidic, drinking too much can lead to urinary problems. In addition to making green papaya tea, gout patients can also use green papaya stew to improve symptoms.
