Diet only plays a supporting role, and cannot replace medication if prescribed by a doctor. In addition to increasing vegetables, patients should:
Limit or avoid drinking alcohol and beer because it can reduce the ability to excrete uric acid and increase the risk of gout attacks. Drink enough water every day to help the kidneys excrete uric acid and reduce the risk of urate crystal formation.
Maintain a reasonable weight, limit purine-rich foods, and follow the treatment regimen if prescribed by your doctor.
Combining a scientific diet with a healthy lifestyle will help control uric acid levels more effectively and reduce the risk of gout attacks recurring.
