How often have you thought about your uric acid levels? It is important for you to keep a close eye on this.
Uric acid is the by-product of food digestion. Normally, this acid gets filtered out through the kidneys. If the body is unable to get rid of this byproduct then it builds up in the blood.
If left untreated high levels of uric acid can cause painful arthritis, gout, permanent damage in the bones and joints, high blood pressure and fatty liver disease. There are some lifestyle changes that you can make to lower its levels like losing weight, avoiding sugar, avoiding alcohol and choosing the right kind of food. Today’s video is all about 20 foods that effectively reduce uric acid.

✍️ Summary:
Apples
Apples are a good choice if you are looking to lose weight, protect heart health and lower the risk of diabetes. This nutrient dense fruit is versatile and can be easily added into your diet.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is made out of fermented apple cider, and has gained popularity for its medicinal properties. If you have chronic levels of uric acid, then drinking 1 glass of water with a couple of drops of apple cider vinegar, 2 or 3 times a day, will dilute the formation of uric acid crystals between joints.
Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
Some foods contain high purine while others are low. Because the body produces purine on its own, you should not overdo it by eating foods that also contain high levels of this substance. Fresh fruit and vegetables without any added sugar are a great choice for a low purine diet. Vitamin C is found in abundance in fresh produce which can cut down acid levels.
Bananas
Packed with the goodness of potassium, bananas are low in purines and high in vitamin C. Manganese leaves the skin glowing and healthy. Potassium helps improve heart health, blood pressure and digestion. Including bananas along with other low purine foods will lower the amount of uric acid and stop recurring gout attacks.
