what food can eliminate or minimize uric acid in our body?

Answer 1

Alternative and complimentary treatments focus on helping your body prevent and eliminate the build up of uric acid. These include:

Doing everything you can to support the healthy function of your blood cleaners -- the liver and kidneys. The better they are working, the better they can clean your blood of uric acid and toxins.

Drinking lots of fluids, especially water. Try to drink six pints or 96 ounces a day. Dehydration reduces kidney function and can lead to uric acid build-up. Slightly alkaline natural spring water may help reduce the acidity in your body.

Reducing the amount of meat in your diet because meat is rich in uric acid forming components. Consider a vegetarian lifestyle.

Eating plenty of raw fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds, and nuts. Cherries and strawberries appear to be most beneficial.

Avoiding purine rich foods like anchovies, asparagus, crab, fish roe (caviar), herring, kidney, liver, meat gravies and broths, mushrooms, mussels, peas, beans, and sardines.

Avoiding alcohol. Avoiding rapid weight loss while seeking an appropriate weight/height ratio. Excess body weight and crash dieting both can result in increased uric acid levels in the blood. Reduce any extra weight slowly and healthfully.

Exercising regularly.

Drinking black cherry juice. Black cherry juice, available at health food stores, may prevent attacks and shorten acute attacks according to claims from others with gout. Black cherry extract is also available in tablet form. This is not the same as cherry drinks containing low percentages of cherry juice or artificial cherry flavor.

Answer 2

Use a diet of raw fruits and vegetables for about 2 or 3 weeks as supportive of cleansing the system. Not cauliflower asparagus, peas, mushrooms or spinach.

Fresh cherries or concentrated cherry juice,recommendations say to eat about one-half pound every day or drink the juice 2 or 3 times a day. Strawberries and blueberries are other fruits considered very helpful.

Include complex carbohydrates which come from grains, seeds, and nuts. But, not roasted nuts.

Limit the use of caffeine and yeast products.

Limit refined carbohydrates, fats and simple sugars. Saturated fats lower uric acid excretion. Sugars which may include honey, syrups, and fructose, increase uric acid production.

Limit products that contain soy, eggs, oatmeal, peas, lentils and dry beans to small amounts.

Avoid fried foods, roasted nuts or other foods that may have oil that has been heated or cooked.

Avoid refined carbohydrates such as cakes and pies.

Increase fluid intake as this will help dilute and flush the system of uric acid. Six to eight pints of filtered drinking water per day is a recommended amount.

Avoid all alcohol. It increases the production of uric acid.

If you are overweight, lose the excess pounds.
