Question 
[size=4][b]What Foods Contain High Uric Acid - How Much Do You Know about Gout and Diet Prevention?[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Recently, a gout and diet prevention study was published in by Dr. Hyon K. Choi and Gary Curhan in Arthritis Care & Research's June 2007 issue which examined the fact that, contrary to popular belief, coffee may not be as bad for gout sufferers as previously thought. Although gout patients have been told to stay away from coffee, there may be an ingredient in the beverage that can actually help to lower the uric acid levels in the body.

[list][*]Similar study in Japan looked into the same concept, but used decaffeinated coffee.[*]Similar, though not equal, results were witnessed.[*]This is why it is now thought that components of coffee other than soley caffeine are responsible for lowering the uric acid levels in the body. Wink[/list]

Considering that until this study, gout sufferers had been discouraged from drinking coffee, many gout sufferers may now be wondering what other gout and diet prevention beliefs may soon turn out to be disproved. For example, though tea has not been found to reduce uric acid levels in the body as has now been demonstrated with coffee, tea is often thought to be unacceptable as a part of a gout and diet prevention strategy. Instead, tea can indeed be a part of a gout diet as long as it is consumed in moderation and as long as its dehydrating effect is compensated for by taking in additional water. The more readers we get to this writing on Gout Diet, the more encouragement we get to produce similar, interesting articles for you to read. So read on and pass it to your friends. :o.

[size=large][b]Was Also Believed At One Time that Eating Rich Foods Was the Root Cause of Gout[/b][/size][hr]Indeed, some rich foods are high in proteins and purines and therefore may contribute to gout flare-ups, however low fat dairy products have now been shown to have a preventative effect. Also Gout is believed to be caused by many factors, including being heredity.

[size=large][b]Similar Belief Was Once Applied to Alcohol[/b][/size][hr]It was thought that spirits, wine, and beer were the true cause of gout. Indeed, drinking to excess can be harmful to gout sufferers, especially due to the resulting dehydration of the body. Hydration is especially important to gout sufferers as it allows the body to flush the uric acid out of the blood, preventing its buildup as crystals on the joints. However, drinking alcohol is not a direct cause of gout. Reading is a habit that has to be cultivated from a small age. Only if one has the habit of reading can one acquire more knowledge on things like Gout Diet.

Though it is not yet known what part of coffee is responsible for lowering the uric acid levels in the body, it is known that it is not just the caffeine content, as the same results were not found from drinking caffeinated tea. Whatever the cause, when participants drank one to two cups of coffee every day, the levels of uric acid in the blood reduced dramatically. Furthermore, as coffee consumption increased, uric acid levels decreased. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Gout Diet to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Gout Diet will enjoy this article. Smile

[size=large][b]The Old Clich' that You are What You Eat is Quite True[/b][/size][hr]Many people suffer from certain health conditions that even though may not be cured, can be controlled through your diet. All foods have certain qualities that affect the body in different ways. Nutrients are broken down and used in different ways, allowing your body to use them how it desires. :o.

[list][*]<hr> [b]How Gout was Controlled Through Healthy Foods[/b] <hr> My story has taken place over the last twenty two months.[*]I was faced with gout as a twenty five year old, much younger than the average male dealing with it.[*]Gout is a form of arthritis that affects the joints like the big toe, ankles, and knees.[*]My gout affected both of my big toes.[*]Gouty arthritis is a very painful condition; a bed sheet is too heavy to be placed on the toe.[*]The toe swells and it is nearly impossible to walk, let alone wear shoes.[*]It comes on without warning, lasting up to two weeks.[*]Thinking of what to do upon reading this article on Gout?[*]Well you can very well use the information constructively by imparting it to others.[*]<hr> In the initial trip to the doctor's office, I was diagnosed with gout.[*]All the usual symptoms.[*]I could either wait it out or take a pill everyday to control it.[*]The culprit is purines in foods, and the kidneys' inability to eliminate uric acid which comes from purines in the digestive process.[*]Purines are found in red meat, bacon, beer, red wine, pastas, and everything else I enjoy on a regular basis.[*]The list is quite long.[*]Responsibility is what makes a person.[*]So we felt it our responsibility to elaborate more on Gouty so that not only us, but everyone knew more about it![*]<hr> Herbs have been forever rumored to help your body reach its full potential, but they are not the only answer.[*]Your grocery list has foods on them that can help whatever ails you, but you'll want to alter them just a little.[*]Many of the foods we eat are processed, but they are really over processed.[*]Chemical additives are in the foods, but you might not even know it.[*]The Food and Drug Administration's restrictions on food labeling might be a little more lax than you thought.[*]Reading all this about Purines Foods is sure to help you get a better understanding of Purines Foods.[*]So make full use of the information we have provided here.[*]<hr> When you are at the store, just think about what they ate one hundred years ago.[*]Did they eat at fast food restaurants and make dinner out of boxes?[*]Processed foods can last literally years and years before getting old.[*]Doesn't that sound unreal?[*]Organic foods without chemicals will not last as long, and you'll have to make more trips to the store or farmer's market.[*]In my case, I think it is worth the extra effort.[*]If I don't need a prescription drug to control the gout, I'll do it.[*]Failure is the stepping stone to success.[*]So if you do fail to understand this article on Gout, don't fret.[*]Read it again a few times, and you are sure to finally get its meaning.[*]<hr> Through my experimentation with food, I realized that I really didn't need to change my diet.[*]My gout is caused from nitrates and other chemicals that are used to preserve red meat, bacon, and other foods.[*]All natural bacon that is not preserved with nitrates does not affect the gout.[*]I used to feel it coming on as I ate the old foods.[/list]

<hr> Ingredients need to be listed on the nutrit ional facts label on food packaging, but ingredients that make up the ingredients don't necessarily get listed. This can create problems if you are trying to avoid certain substances for health reasons.

[list][*]<hr> Any lesson to be learned is experimentation.[*]Many of us are too quick to accept the prescription drug in our lives, but there are too many side effects.[*]They are hard on the body and the digestive system, which can create more problems.[*]A simple diet is better.[*]We did not write too elaborate an article on Purines as it would be then difficult for the common man to read it.[*]We have written this article in such a way that everyone will be able to read and understand it! Wink[*]<hr> [b]Diet Experimentation[/b] Working in restaurants my entire life has given me the ability to cook and lots of food knowledge.[*]I took this info to the grocery store.[*]I discovered an excellent organic food store one city over.[*]What organics offer is purity.[*]The foods are not shelf stable for long as long as those in the conventional grocery stores, but I don't care.[*]I know what is in the food.[*]A red pepper is made from pepper plants grown in organic soil with no preservative chemicals or wax coatings.[*]My grocery bills are a little more expensive, but the health care costs I avoid offset the difference.[*]<hr> [b]Reveal Your Food Aids[/b] <hr> The body really does have the ability to heal itself; you just have to let it.[*]Capsaicin, which is found in peppers from the bell variety to jalape'o to chilies, is noted to help soothe inflammation from arthritis.[*]They will work from the inside or the outside in paste form.[*]There are foods that will work to help whatever ails you.[*]Developing a basis for this composition on Purines Foods was a lengthy task.[*]It took lots of patience and hard work to develop.[/list]

[size=large][b]Gout is a Problem that in Most of the Cases Occurs Suddenly[/b][/size][hr]That is why it is really hard to prevent it. Doctors can only advice for a low alcohol intake and a healthy diet. Only after its occurrence specialists are able to prescribe a treatment. Treatment for gout is prescribed in order to ease the symptoms that usually consist of extreme pain in the affected joints.

[size=large][b]We Know Two Types of Gout[/b][/size][hr]Acute gout is treated using different medicines such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchines and corticosteroids. The NSAIDs are drugs that help easing the pain and have an anti-inflammatory effect. As NSAIDs we have to mention indomethacin, ketoprofen, oxaprozin, diclofenac, ibuprofen, etodolac, naproxen and sulindac. This type of treatment has proved to be the best in preventing gout attacks and easing the symptoms. NSAIDs are recommended for as long as the patient has symptoms and are taken by mouth three or four times a day. NSAIDs assure the easing of symptoms by suppressing the production of fatty acids called prostaglandins that cause the inflammation and pain in gout sufferers. Reading is a habit that has to be cultivated from a small age. Only if one has the habit of reading can one acquire more knowledge on things like Www Gout.

[list][*]The third way of treating gout is the use of corticosteroids such as prednisone, prednisolone and triamcinolone.[*]This treatment is prescribed for patients that can not take NSAIDs or colchine, being the third alternative in treating gout.[*]This treatment has benefic effects after steroids are injected into the joint muscle.[*]Afterwards pain is locally relieved.[/list]

[size=large][b]Colchine is the Alternative for Nsaids[/b][/size][hr]This medicine has been used to treat gout for years. It has benefic effects on reducing and even eliminating the pain caused by gout. Even so this treatment is not recommended for persons who can not tolerate side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or abdominal cramps. Colchine is a treatment with benefic effects because it reduces the deposit of uric acid crystals that cause inflammations. An intake of colchine within 24 to 48 hours of the onset 5 free gout remedies that relieve and cure gout symptoms is believed to have the awaited effect. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Uric Acid to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Uric Acid will enjoy this article.

[size=large][b]The Second Type of Gout is Chronic Gout[/b][/size][hr]In these cases treatment is prescribed in order to prevent acute gout attack from recurring. In many of the cases this means decreasing the uric acid levels. The recommended treatments are xanthine oxidase inhibitors and uricosuric agents. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors such as allopurinol lead to decrease of uric acid levels in the organism. Uricosuric agents are medicines that help kidneys to eliminate the excess of the uric acid produced by the body. As uricosuric agents we can mention probenecid or sulfinpyrazone. The more readers we get to this writing on Gout, the more encouragement we get to produce similar, interesting articles for you to read. So read on and pass it to your friends.

[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? [*]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]

[i]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.[/i]

[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.[*]It was with keen interest that we got about to writing on Gout Uric.[*]Hope you read and appreciate it with equal interest.[/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. Aiming high is our motto when writing about any topic. In this way, we tend to add whatever matter there is about Uric Acid, rather than drop any topic.

[list][*]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.[*]We are satisfied with this end product on Uric Acid Level.[*]It was really worth the hard work and effort in writing so much on Uric Acid Level.[/list]
