[size=4][b]Gout Research - Proper Gout Diet Prevents and Eases Gout Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]Also referred to as "the disease of kings", the occurrence and development of gout are strongly determined by improper diet. In the past, the disease predominantly affected nobles and royalty, due to their access to an abundance of foods that are known today to have high risks of causing gout. These days, many people are still confronted with gout, as they consume foods that interfere in the normal activity of the body. Mostly people living in developed societies are the ones who tend to be affected by gout. The consumption of some exotic foods like seafood (oysters, caviar, calamari, sushi) or improper diets that contain a lot of meats (pork, poultry, beef) are the factors that seem to facilitate the occurrence and the development of the disease. Statistics indicate that people who live in less-developed countries have a smaller chance of developing gout. Also, research results reveal the preponderance of obese people among those who are suffering from different forms of gout.

[list][*]Proper gout diet replaces the foods that are considered to cause gout due to their high levels of purine with healthy, better tolerated foods.[*]Foods that are rich in saturated fats should also be avoided.[/list]

Proper gout diet and a healthy lifestyle are the best means of preventing and easing the symptoms of gout. It is a fact that there is no specific cure for gout and the treatment often prescribed for the disease usually acts by controlling pain attacks and inflammation. There is little that medicines can do for the patients who suffer from gout, especially for those who have chronic forms of the disease. Proper gout diet can both ease the symptoms of gout and prevent injury and complications. It is known to be the best way of handling the effects of the disease.

[size=large][b]Gout is a Type of Rheumatoid Arthritis that Causes Pain and Inflammation of the Joints[/b][/size][hr]The joints of the lower body seem to be affected the most. People with gout experience discomfort, swelling, local irritation and redness, itching sensations, pain, sometimes feeling a sensation of cold around the affected areas, the skin in those regions often looking stretched. Gout can also affect skin and soft tissue such as muscles and tendons, making them less flexible. Gout is known to be caused mainly by the presence in excess of crystallized uric acid deposits inside the body, which are difficultly eliminated by the kidneys. Improper diet can lead to more accumulation of uric acid in the body, as some foods that contain high levels of purine are synthesized by the body into uric acid. What we have written here about Cure Gout can be considered to be a unique composition on Cure Gout. Let's hope you appreciate it being unique.

The foods that are known to have high levels of purine are meats like pork, beef, lamb, poultry, organ meats (brain, kidneys, liver and heart), fish and seafood (sardines, mackerel, oysters, caviar, calamari and crabs) and fat dairy products such as cheese, milk and butter. Even some vegetables like spinach, beans and peas are known to conatin large amounts of purines. However, green vegetables are thought to have no malign effects to the body. Fruits not only have low levels of purines, (and they are strongly recommended in any gout diet) but they also contain vitamins and minerals that are vital in the proper functioning of the body. Vitamin C, contained by most fruits, is a powerful natural anti-oxidant which helps in easing the symptoms of gout. We do hope that you find the information here something worth recommending others to read and think about once you complete reading all there is about Cure Gout.

[list][*]Question : I WAS told by my doctor recently that I have gout.[*]My uric acid level is high.[*]Since this may be at an early stage as I just had the pain attack, how can I manage it?[*]Are there any supplements that can help?[*]Celery seed (Apium graveolens) helps the kidneys dispose urates and other unwanted waste products as well as working to reduce acidity in the body.[*]The seeds are also a carminative, with a mild tranquilising effect.[*]Guaiacum is used in Europe, especially in Britain, to help with arthritic and rheumatic conditions.[*]It has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce muscle aches, joint pains and swelling.[*]It is also diuretic and speeds the elimination of toxins, which makes it valuable for treating gout.[*]Increase your intake of foods high in dietary fibre (vegetables, fruits) and complex carbohydrates (oats, barley, bran).[*]Reduce or avoid alcohol and caffeine consumption.[*]Wheat, dairy products, corn, beef, tomato, potato, eggplant and peppers can aggravate arthritis.[*]Light exercises like brisk walking help to keep the joint cartilage lubricated.[*]Being overweight can burden the joints, especially the knees, thus aggravating the pain.[*]Losing some weight will be of benefit.[/list]

Answer : GOUT is a common type of arthritis caused by an increased concentration of uric acid, a by-product of protein metabolism in the liver. It affects more men than women. Sudden attacks of severe joint pains occur when sharp crystals of uric acid (monosodium urates) form in the fluid surrounding a joint due to an elevated level of uric acid in the blood. A rolling stone gathers no moss. So if I just go on writing, and you don't understand, then it is of no use of me writing about Treating Gout! Whatever written should be understandable by the reader.

To maintain healthy joints, you need to refrain from the consumption of rich fatty foods, refined carbohydrates and alcohol, as they can be converted by the body into inflammatory substances that can aggravate the condition. It is with much interest that we got about to write on Gout Uric Acid. So we do hope that you too read this article with the same, if not more interest! Wink

[list][*]Foods that contain a high level of purine should be avoided, and these include red meats, organ meats and shellfish.[*]There are several herbs that have proven benefits for painful joints.[*]Celery seed and guaiacum are two very popular ones.[*]These are usually combined with other herbs such as ginger, capsicum and sarsaparilla for better synergistic effect.[/list]

Gout is a health problem resulting because of the deposit of uric acid crystals in the joints and surrounding tissues. It is characterized by an excess of uric acid in the body that deposits in different parts of the body leading to recurring attacks of joint inflammation. We know two types of gout: acute and chronic. The most severe phase of gout is chronic gout that beside joint inflammation and pain may also lead to kidney malfunction and kidney stones.

[size=large][b]The Most Common Affection is the Big Toe Joint Problem[/b][/size][hr]It is seen in about 50 % of the cases of gout. Other joints can be affected too. The ankles, the knees, wrists, fingers and elbows are at risk. After a rapid onset of the pain in the affected joint it usually follows warmth, swelling and high sensitivity for the joint. These painful attacks may last hours to days and may be recurrent. :o.

[size=large][b]Throughout History It is Believed that Gout is the Most Frequent Illness[/b][/size][hr]It is also believed that gout is a problem that can be inherited. It consists of the deposit of uric acid in the joints or surrounding tissues. Abnormal elimination of uric acid can cause attacks of painful arthritis (gout attack), kidney stones or even kidney failure. Even so there are known a few cases where patients only develop elevated blood uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) without developing arthritis or kidney problems.

[size=large][b]Is Believed that a Relation Between Gout and Hyperuricemia Exists but It is Unclear[/b][/size][hr]We are certain that many patients with hyperuricemia do not develop gout. We are also certain about the fact that some patients with repeated gout attack have normal or low blood uric acid levels. About 10 percent of the male population has hyperuricemia and a small percentage of them will actually develop gout. :o.

[list][*]Gout attack means a rapid onset of joint inflammation and pain that usually occur over night.[*]A high number of persons develop gout.[*]Only in America not less than one million people are suffering from recurrent gout attacks.[*]It is well to know that men are more prone to develop gout than women.[*]It is believed that gout is nine times more common in men than in women.[*]Men are prone to develop gout right after puberty while women are at risk only at menopause.[*]It was with great relief we ended writing on Arthritis Gout.[*]There was just too much information to write, that we were starting to lose hopes on it's completion!

[size=large][b]Specialists are Able to Advice Humans How to Prevent Gouty Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]Obesity in youth, high alcohol intake and unhealthy diets may lead to gout attacks. Also aspirin and diuretics could be a cause for developing gout attacks. Of course injury of the joints could lead to a gout attack. Gout attacks are also related to some diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma and hemoglobin disorders.
