Once you know what causes too much uric acid in your body, you should then try as hard as possible to avoid the things that cause the situation.
In this short article you'll discover three of the key things to avoid that can lead to too much acid in the body.
1.
Avoid Being Overweight Being overweight is a key factor in excess acid production and so having high levels of uric acid in the blood.
Recent studies have shown that the majority of gout sufferers are overweight.
So getting yourself down to your proper weight should be a priority.
But don't crash diet, as this can actually trigger an attack! 2.
Avoid High Purine food Chemical compounds in our bodies and food produce uric acid as part of the body's metabolizing process.
So consuming foods with high concentrations of purines will produce more acid than foods with relatively lower levels of purines.
Generally speaking, high purine foods are high protein foods.
You should limit your protein food intake to no more than 3 oz per day.
3.
Avoid All Alcohol Alcohol consumption is strongly linked to higher uric acid levels in the body.
Beer is reckoned to be particularly bad for this.
There are studies that show that people who drink more than 2 units of alcohol regularly have higher than the average levels of uric acid in their body.
These are three of the things that causes high (too much) uric acid in your body and should therefore be avoided.
But, of course, these three on their own aren't enough.
You need to not only get rid of the symptoms of your present gout attack, but also prevent further frequent attacks (recurring gout) as these can lead to excruciating kidney stones and permanent joint damage.
And you can do all this completely naturally.
