1 "Details Of The Best Diet For Gout
The British Society of Rheumatology has issued guidelines for the management of gout.
Gout is a common disease, and you would think by now that a common
treatment strategy would have emerged. However, it appears that there is
a lack of consensus in the exact treatment methodology that should be
adopted, and investigation into how gout is treated in practice strongly
suggests there is great deal of variability. Read More : http://www.remedyforgout.org/best-diet-for-gout/"2" Is There a Cure for Gout?
Gout is intensely painful and has been referred to as the most painful type of arthritis. People who experience a gout attack often can't tolerate a bedsheet brushing lightly against their foot.
Because of the intensity of the pain, gout patients would do just about anything to prevent another gout attack. They want to know what cures gout. Learn more in Is There a Gout Cure?"Read more: http://arthritis.about.com/b/2013/02/18/is-there-a-cure-for-gout.htm
3"The Top ”Home” Remedies For Gout
http://www.greatultrabooks.com/gout-home-remedies/1) Drink less alcohol. Regrettably, if you like a drink, but you don’t like the pain of gout, then you are going to have to drink less alcohol. The worst offenders are beers and stouts, which are full of purines; a glass or two of wine a day should be all right. Whisky has a bad reputation, too, but the truth is you’ll be able to establish a correlation between drinking alcohol and how quickly you get a gout attack, especially if you keep a diary. Even so, cutting down on the booze is the simplest remedy for gout of all — and one of the most effective.
2) Consume less sugar, whether as simple sugar like glucose and fructose, or refined carbohydrates like white flour bakery products, sweets and candies. The body can’t cope — and indeed isn’t designed to cope — with the massive influx of sugar that we subject it to every day. It tests our body’s ability to control sugar levels to the limit, can induce a degree of insulin resistance, and results in fat being laid down around our abdomens.
3) Increase your intake of complex carbohydrates from vegetables and fruit. You’ll find that this satisfies your appetite for longer, and this food places less stress and strain on your hormonal system than simple sugars; it also protects your pancreas and adrenals, possibly even reducing the risk of Type II diabetes.
4) Another simple gout remedy is to reduce the amount of purine-containing protein in your diet. Generally speaking this means less meat, fish, and in particular shellfish. Once again, it’s a simple remedy for gout, and provided you maintain a food diary that enables you to link the consumption of certain foods with the onset of a gout attack, working out what you can and cannot eat “safely” need not be a chore.
5) Drink plenty of water. We hear this advice so often, don’t we? But we hear it for a good reason! Drinking lots of water reduces the level of toxins and impurities in your bloodstream, and in particular reduces the amount of uric acid in your blood, and therefore reduces the chance of a gout attack.
6) Cherries. Ah yes, cherries. You see this recommended all over the Internet as a traditional gout remedy which works well, and so I investigated whether or not there’s any truth in the idea. The theory is that the anthocyanins in cherries inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase, the enzyme associated with the production of uric acid. There’s actually quite a lot of evidence to suggest that the pigmented compounds in many fruits and vegetables have an impact on the metabolic pathways that are responsible for gout. Rather than quote a whole load of references to you, I’ll just give you this one. In essence, what this report demonstrates is that urinary urate increases quite dramatically after eating cherries, while plasma urate decreases, but to a much lesser extent. In short, though, there’s definitely a marked trend towards decreased inflammatory responses in humans after the consumption of cherries, so it does look as though this may be a very useful home remedy for gout. Further evidence about the anti-inflammatory properties of cherries can be found here."
