The Right Foods to Use in a Diet Cure For Gout Victims

Gout sufferers live with pain that can be debilitating and hinder daily activities and mobility. When we tell someone we have found a cure, they are probably suspicious because real cures are hard to come by. On the other hand - while we know that there are foods that cause the body to have high levels of uric acid, we also know there are foods that can fix this efficiently if used in a diet cure against gout symptoms.

Gout is the inflammation that is caused by high levels of uric acid in the joints of the body. The high levels of uric acid are created in the joints because the kidneys cannot process all the uric acid it receives and it spills into the bloodstream. The foods that cause uric acid in the body are foods containing purine. These are typically foods with high levels of fat.

That is how we get gout, but what can we do to fix it? We can assume that what food creates it can fix. That is true. The gout suffer should, of course, decrease his intake of foods high in purine. That is the first step. After that, then the foods that fix gout can work more efficiently. Otherwise it would be like spraying gasoline on a fire and also water at the same time. It is counterproductive.

The first food is not really a food. It is water, specifically spring water without additives. This should taken daily in rich amounts, primarily to flush the kidneys. This will give the kidneys opportunities to release the uric acid already in there. This is good for kidney health. The amount of water to take daily is basically, as much as you can. The body will keep you from overdoing it. Water is very filling. Just take as much as you can comfortably at each sitting.

Another food that fixes gout is wild or black cherries. These have a substance in them that cancel out the uric acid. The substance is only found in the fresh wild or black cherries or fresh wild or black cherry juice. The over-the-counter juice may loose its power in the manufacturing process, even if it is just juice.

Fruits in general are also fixes for gout because there is no purine in them. However, the best fix is the wild or black cherries. If someone is experiencing a severe attack, the suggestion is to start with the wild or black cherries and begin the water flush with copes amounts of spring water. Then adding other fruits will continue the purification of the bloodstream.

There is evidence that when a low purine diet is implemented, the gout symptoms decrease significantly. Also, the occurrences are significantly reduced if not alleviated.

With a little planning ahead and a little conscious effort, gout sufferers can find relief that will give them a new lease on life. There is no reason to suffer when there are foods that can fix or some say, cure your gout. The food is available and it does not have harmful side effects.
