Because the body metabolizes purines into uric acid, a maintained, low-purine diet can help lower the plasma urate level. Avoiding alcohol, high-purine foods, such as meat, fish, dry beans (also lentils and peas), mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, and cauliflower can lower plasma urate levels. In addition, consuming purine-neutralizing foods, such as fresh fruits (especially cherries and strawberries) and most fresh vegetables, diluted celery juice, distilled water, and B-complex and C vitamins can also help lower plasma urate levels.
A possible "natural" cure is a berry extract supplement consisting of bilberry, blueberry or cherry extracts. The anthocyanins which give the berries their blue and purple hues, after entering the body, turn into powerful anti-inflammatories. These might be an especially preferable option to transplant patients, who frequently suffer gout due to increased toxicity and strain on the kidneys due to their immunosuppressant medication.

No, it doesn't prevent arthritis, but it does help strengthen joints. One of my dogs was diagnosed as having the beginning of arthritis (probably from a racing injury) when he was 3. He's been on a low dosage of glucosamine every since as a preventative and he's 9 now and still plays like a puppy, and goes for an hour long walk every morning, and a shorter one later in the day. Ask you vet, but I don't think it's possible to prevent arthritis, but you can treat it.

Well if you want the right food to fight or prevent arthritis,I would advise you to eat food like fish,vegetables,fruits,nuts and whole grains.Eat lots of salmon ,sardines and other cold water fish,rich in omega 3 oils,three or more times a week.Eat 5 to 10 servings of vegetables everyday.Eat dark green or bright orange vegetables to provide beta carotene ;broccoli,peppers,cabbage,and Brussels sprouts for vitamin c and avocados for vitamin e.Eat fruits containing beta carotene and vitamin c.Eat nuts and whole grains regularly for vitamin E a potent antioxidant that helps relieve inflammation and stiffness.
