According to the Arthritis Foundation and Healthline,tart cherry juice is considered a "natural weapon" to help reduce the risk of increased uric acid at night. This drink is rich in anthocyanin - a powerful anti-inflammatory active ingredient, while promoting the excretion of uric acid through the kidneys.
A study in the Journal of Functional Foods showed that people who drankward cherry juice for 4 weeks recorded a marked improvement in uric acid levels and reduced the frequency of recurrent gout attacks. Drinking a small glass of cherry juice before bed can help prevent a sudden increase in uric acid when the body rests.
In addition to its effects on uric acid, cherry juice also helps improve sleep thanks to its natural melatonin content, which is very suitable for drinking in the evening. However, people with diabetes or need to limit sugar should choose pure juice, not added sugar.
Maintaining a regular drinking habit every night will help you protect your joints, prevent gout attacks from appearing suddenly and support overall health.
