    Smart Food Choices Can Reduce Your Chances of Gout

    Gout can be one of the most painful conditions known to man. This condition is a result of tiny
    jagged uric acid crystals forming in the joint space between the bones, with the big toe being
    the most likely target. Diet can play a major role in this process and by following a strict diet
    one can both avoid gout attacks, and when the unthinkable does happen, get back on their
    feet in record time.

    According to advocates of diet as a preventative and effective treatment for gout, high uric acid levels
    associated with gout are found mainly in foods high in protein and purines. The theory goes that by
    eliminating these foods from your diet you will have less uric acid floating around in your system thus
    decreasing the probability of a uric acid accumulation. Now let’s take a few minutes to explore the what
    not to eat and/or drink part of the equation.

    * Reduce seafood: Most of us love seafood and it is one of the healthier meat
    choices out there. Fish and krill are also high in omega 3 fatty acids which are
    essential to good health that your body does not produce.
    But when it comes to gout too much fish can stink up the place. Anchovies, herring,
    mackerel, sardines, and haddock are all high purine foods capable of elevating uric
    acid levels when eaten regularly. Lesser culprits are caviar, muscles, and scallops.
    A possible alternative to satisfy any nutritional or preventative health deficiencies might be an omega 3
    rich supplement high in DHA/EPA such as fish oil.  

    * Alcohol: Beer and other alcoholic beverages contribute to gout and should be avoided.

    * Yeast and yeast products: Some studies suggest that foods containing brewer’s yeast can trigger a gout
    attack, thus it should be avoided.

    *Meat: Less consumption of certain meats and meat products is also advised. This list includes beef, lamb,
    pork, liver, kidney, brain, and those delicious holiday gravies which are seasoned with meat juices.

    * High purine foods that may or may not increase the chances of a gout attack: These foods should be
    eaten in moderation while paying close attention as to whether their consumption coincides with gout
    attacks or gout pain. They include beans, peas, lima beans, chicken, duck, lamb, turkey, lentils,
    cauliflower, spinach, asparagus, and mushrooms.

    Note: It is important to recognize that varying amounts of purines are found in all protein rich foods
    and most experts agree that completely eliminating these foods is a bad idea. They key is small portion
    moderation and listening to what your body is telling you.

    What foods and beverages pose little or not threat for triggering a gout attack?

    You have now read the list of foods to avoid and have probably come to the conclusion
    that you will surely starve. After all what is left after eliminating so many foods in the what
    not to eat category. But rest assured there are quite a few foods that pose no threat.
    Before we get to that let’s explore what the American Medical Association recommends
    as general dietary guidelines for gout.

    * Consuming complex carbohydrates such as fiber rich whole grains, fruits, and vegetables
    (minus the ones listed above).

    * Consume less than 30 percent of calories from fat with only 10 percent coming from animal fat.
    This is also a good tip for controlling high cholesterol and managing weight.

    * Consume meager amounts of protein. A good rule of thumb is only 15 of total calories from protein
    with soy and poultry leading the way. If you must consume other meats make sure they are lean and
    serving your serving size is modest (4 to 6 oz).

    A List of Recommended Foods

    * Fresh blueberries, cherries, strawberries and other red and blue berries. Dark skinned
    grapes are also a good choice. All of the above are high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory
    properties.

    * Tofu is generally a choice for those vulnerable to gout despite the fact it is made from legumes.

    * Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids from walnuts, flax seed, flax oil, and sunflower seeds. The anti-
    inflammatory properties provided by a good balance between these essential fatty acids is second
    to none.

    * Coffee and green tea are good beverage choices. Additionally, a minimum of 8 glasses of water a
    day should be consumed to flush as much uric acid out of your system as possible.

    * Complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, and oat bran.

    * Chocolate, cocoa

    * Low fat dairy products

    * High vitamin C foods such as oranges, peaches, tomatoes, tangerines, kiwi, red cabbage, bell peppers,
    and sweet potatoes.

    * Foods high in bromelain such as pineapples.

    * Certain vegetables particularly green leafy ones such as kale, turnip greens, mustard greens and
    romaine or iceberg lettuce. Cabbage and brussel sprouts are also good choices.

    * Celery, avocado,  lettuce, and carrots

    In summary, gout of a complicated interaction between many different factors with food being only one.
    (genetics are another). Nevertheless, by making smart food choices you can dramatically reduce your
    chances of experiencing a painful gout attack.
