Here are effective ways to lower uric acid levels naturally and with medical guidance:
1. Dietary Changes
a. Avoid High-Purine Food:
like:
Meat: Organ meats (liver, kidney), red meat.
Seafood: Anchovies, sardines, mussels, shrimp, and mackerel.
Alcohol: Beer and spirits.
b. Eat Low-Purine Foods:
like:
Fresh fruits and vegetables.
Whole grains (brown rice, oats, quinoa).
Dairy products, especially low-fat or skim.
c. Increase Vitamin C Intake:
Sources: Oranges, strawberries, kiwi, and bell peppers.
d. Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water (8–12 cups per day) to help flush out uric acid through urine.
e. Limit Sugar .
Reduce intake of sugary beverages, soft drinks, and high-fructose corn syrup.
2. Lifestyle Modifications
a. Maintain a Healthy Weight:
Losing excess weight can help reduce uric acid levels as it decreases the body’s production of uric acid.
b. Exercise Regularly:
Moderate exercise improves overall metabolism and reduces the risk of gout attacks.
Avoid intense physical activity during flare-ups, as it may increase uric acid levels temporarily.
c. Limit Alcohol:
Alcohol can increase uric acid production, especially beer and spirits.
3. Medication (Under Doctor’s
Guidance)
