What food is good for uric acid?

Are you one of those people who suffer from gout attacks? They say it’s a common problem for those who like to indulge in things that are bad for them. But why deprive yourself when there’s a solution right in front of you? Yep, you guessed it! It all comes down to your diet.

Uric acid, a waste product formed during the breakdown of purines which are found naturally in our body and in many foods. Thus high levels can lead to gout attacks or kidney stones if not controlled with proper dietary intake. So let’s dig into some food options that’ll keep your uric acid levels under control!

Get Your Greens In

When it comes to eating greens, Popeye definitely knew what he was talking about! Pack up on those leafy vegetables as they have proven benefits against high uric acid level. Not only do they contain low amounts of purine but chlorophyll pigment inside green vegetables helps remove excess acids from the body including uric acid.

Here are some green veggies and their approximate amount of purines:
– Spinach (16mg)
– Kale (15 mg)
– Broccoli (21 mg)

Pairing green veggies with meals also add an aesthetic value while tasting great – two birds one stone!

Protein Pals

Red meats and seafood are loved by most meat eaters; however these delightful treats aren’t so good for keeping your uric acid levels balanced. Don’t fret though because plenty protein sources will do the job just fine such as:

Lean Meat

Beef liver may not sound appetizing but believe me its healthier cousin beef tenderloin has us covered(low fat intake also!). Also opt for chicken or turkey breasts without skin instead Saturated fats that typically come along with dark poultry cuts raise cholesterol too.

Plant-Based Proteins

Plant-based lifestyle trends aren’t going anywhere. Besides being popular with environmental concerns, dietitians are quick to point out numerous benefits such as boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation of body tissues.

For example, black eyed peas (32 mg) or lentils (48 mg per half cup), spring for tofu if you’re feeling adventurous! (low in purines but high in bad taste!!)

Go Nuts!

What’s better than snacking without guilt? Not much when it comes down things we love,and nuts definitely pass that test. Not only do they contain low purine amounts, but walnuts and almonds have triglycerides which lower uric acid levels

Some nut options may include:
– Almonds
– Walnuts
– Peanuts

Snacking on these brain food also helps improve a persons memory capacity – sounds like another win right there!

Berry Boosts

Berry fruits not only look good but pack a punch when elevating human health thresholds (our little secret) . Purple and blue berry types especially like blueberries due to the anthocyanin levels inside each one can help regulate uric acid constraints. Other berry options include strawberries or blackberries which also contains antioxidants fighting off free radicals.

Berries offer utility value besides from snacking including healthy drink garnish , smoothie mix-ins or topped over morning oatmeal.Yum!!

Be Fatty..

That title caught some attention didn’t it? Believe me no offence here.The perks of Omega 3 fatty acids controlling hyperuricemia – an increase in blood concentration above the normal range – makes fishes such as Salmon really appealing plus tasting great too.
Other oil rich seafood selections may include:

Fish Options

  • Tuna fish – omega 3 cure all!
  • Codfish/whitefish: Low fat intake with mild flavor,
    Keep eating essential oils keeping both our heart rate stable while quite delicious available through ocean catches!

The Beverage Report

Caffeine is normally a plus in our daily life, great way to start the day off. Excessive caffeine intake can increase uric acid levels and result in gout attacks.

Water on other hand remains an essential part of dietary plan balances uric acid and pH levels inside body while preventing kidney stone formations hydrated while maintaining youthful elasticity of skin tone as well;)

Other Beverages for consideration may include:
– Milk: Helps regulate high purine intakes.
– Green Tea: antioxidant central!
Any fruit infusion or smoothies you prefer would also help – Only restricting factor here is too much sugar that raises glucose level instead!

Try implementing few suggestions like listed above into daily meals routine for healthy joints kidneys or just space exploration (Not really) . A bonus everyday tip – indulging once every so often definitely wouldn’t hurt.
