How A Gout Treatment Diet Can Get Rid Of Gout Naturally
A gout treatment diet is important for a gout sufferer
. Here, you'll learn why a special diet for gout is needed, and, which foods to avoid in that treatment.
Even if you are on drug-based medication for your gout as prescribed by your doctor, diet is a very important part of your treatment. And this is because of the part your diet plays in your gout; both in helping to cause it, and, in helping to treat it.
GOUT CAUSE
You probably know that your gout is caused by uric acid crystals in your joints. And you probably also know that these are formed from high uric acid levels in your bloodstream.
What you may not realise, is that uric acid is formed from natural chemical compounds called 'purines' that are in our body cells and in our foods.
The critical thing, as a gout sufferer, is to reduce your uric acid levels and keep them at more healthy levels. And most folks are prescribed drugs to help them do this, as well as drugs to eliminate the painful symptoms of gout.
This drug-based treatment can work very well, but many people are turning to more natural gout treatments that don't have the nasty side effects that drugs have.
But, whichever route is taken, your diet needs to be at the heart of things...
WHY A SPECIAL DIET FOR GOUT?
Remember above I said that purines produce uric acid and that they also exist in our foods? Then any gout treatment has to take this into account. Foods have varying levels of purine content.
A gout sufferer needs to eliminate high-purine foods and replace them with relatively low-purine foods, in order to help lower uric acid levels in the blood, reduce crystal formation, and, prevent gout.
GOUT TREATMENT DIET
Typical foods that must be avoided because they have high / very high concentrations of purines are; organ meats, fatty red meat, seafood (particularly herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and shellfish), poultry (particularly goose and turkey), dried legumes, yeast (baker's, brewer's, yeast extracts), and alcohol, especially beer.
Foods that you can eat are; green leafy vegetables (but not asparagus, cauliflower or spinach), low fat dairy products, high vitamin C foods (e.g. red cabbage, red bell peppers, potatoes, fruit, etc.), essential fatty acids (like tuna, salmon, nuts, seeds, etc.), complex carbohydrates (e.g. rice, pasta, cereals, vegetables, fruit, etc.), and foods high in bromelain like pineapples. And always drink plenty of water.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Of course this list isn't exhaustive, and there are other issues to consider such as, your weight position, lifestyle choices, medical conditions, ongoing medications, and, family history of gout or arthritis.
You're in luck though. There's a special gout report available online that has all the information you need in one place. It is what thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.
And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.
