Gout is a chronic disease caused by accumulation of uric acid and requests special
gout diet foods.
It has hereditary basis and it is characterized by hyperuricemia,
therefore, a low in purine diet, a limited intake of alcohol, of fats and fructose can
dramatically decrease symptoms and improve patients life.
A sedentary lifestyle,
obesity and a wrong diet usually contribute in aggravating this condition.
A change in eating habits is extremely important in managing chronic gout symptoms
and reducing the pain.
A good start is to increase hydration by drinking five to eight
glasses of water over 24 hours.
This approach can actually reduce by 40% the risk of
attacks.
Sugary drinks are not part of the gout diet foods.
People suffering from this condition should follow a low purine diet, and that means
increasing the quantity of products rich in vitamin C, choosing the best
carbohydrates, sticking to polyunsaturated acids (olive oil), no red meat, no alcohol
and light dairy products.
