You can prevent GOUT

Published by dratiffarid at 1:15 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Gout usually affects big toeGout is a type of arthritis seen usually in the big toe. It presents as a swelling associated with pain and stiffness. You can be symptom free for several years between attacks.

Excess uric acid in the bloodstream is the main culprit.

Either it can be:

1) Due to excess production of uric acid.

2) Due to decreased excretion by the kidneys in urine.

Eventually uric acid crystallizes and deposits at the base of your joint.

How to prevent it?

Diet rich in purines (which get converted to uric acid) should be avoided.

1) High cholesterol containing food like red meat, liver, pork, fries, burgers are best avoided.

2) Fish (especially sardines and oysters).

3) Spinach, cauliflower, peas and mushrooms.

4) High fat milk, cheese and ice cream.

5) Beer. It is derived from yeast which will cause a flare-up of gout.

6) Coffee and tea usage are controversial. They are best avoided.

What’s safe to eat?

Eating tofu helps prevent gout1) Tofu as it has no cholesterol.

2) Olive oil, nuts.

3) Tomatoes, green leafy vegetables.

4) Fruits.

5) Skim milk and low-fat yoghurt.

What else can be done?

1) Drink a lot of water. It will keep your system clean.

2) Regular exercise and reduce weight.

3) Don’t walk long distances.

    Interesting. Why of all places do you think it settles in big toes?

    @Recoveryrocks: It’s more like an incidental finding. Gout does occur at other places like knees, ankles, elbow (but it’s very rare). Some research findings suggest that it is due to decreased blood flow at the big toe (as it’s the farthest from the heart). So, blood gets accumulated there and the uric acid crystals deposit.

    Another research paper stated that the big toe is cooler than the rest of the body, so the uric acid crystals deposit there. It’s still under study.

    Thanks for the tips. Luckily I do some of the things to prevent gout. I do walk long distances so I guess I better stop.

    Thanks for your response. Makes sense. I’m diabetic and already had two surgeries on my big toe.

    My mom’s sister has had a slew of health problems in the last few years, including cancer. About six months ago she had gout - just as she and her husband were getting ready to move to a new house!

    I hadn’t realized that spinach and mushrooms could cause gout — some of my favorite foods.
