Cherry
Many studies show that cherries help lower serine uric acid levels by increasing the excretion of uric acid through urine and inhibiting the production of uric acid in the liver.
A 2012 study in the Journal of Arthritis & Rheumatology (USA) showed that eating cherries for 2 days reduces the risk of acute gout recurrence by up to 35%.The 82% water in cherries helps dilute uric acid in the blood, increase urine output, and help the liver and kidneys filter out uric acid more effectively.
Pineapple (Thom)
Bromelain, the enzyme in the core and pineapple meat, reduces inflammation, swelling and joint pain caused by urate crystals. It suppresses the inflammatory response associated with uric acid, relieving acute pain.
Research from the University of Maryland (USA) shows that bromelain has the same effect as NSAIDs but is safer.Pineapple is rich in vitamin C, manganese and flavonoids, reducing oxidative stress on the liver and kidneys, boosting immunity, controlling inflammation associated with gout.
Watermelon
Watermelon is rich in citrulline, an amino acid that enhances kidney function, which helps eliminate uric acid. Citrulline improves blood circulation, reducing blockage and joint pain.
Antioxidants such as vitamin C and lycopene fight inflammation, relieve pain and swelling.Lycopene protects joint tissue from damage caused by urate crystals.Potassium balances pH, reduces blood acidity, and prevents uric acid accumulation.Potassium also improves kidney function, eliminating uric acid.
Apple
Malic acid in apples neutralizes uric acid, reduces blood acid levels and accumulates uric acid in joints, limiting acute gout. Apples help control uric acid levels, prevent gout recurrence, reduce inflammation and pain.
Apples are rich in fiber, especially pectin, which aids digestion and eliminates toxins, including uric acid through stool. Fiber helps control weight, avoid obesity - a risk factor for increased uric acid. Apples are rich in vitamin C, which reduces inflammation caused by gout. Research shows that regular consumption of apples reduces inflammation and protects joints.
