URIC ACID - GOUT

Normally, the organism eliminates between 80% and 90% of the uric acid generated during the day. In other words, there is a balance between what is produced and what is expelled. If this balance is broken, it can lead to an accumulation of uric acid.

Thus, having high levels of uric acid can be detrimental to health for several reasons. Firstly, because it is the main cause of the development of a disease known as gout, and it is also a cardiovascular risk factor in itself.

Lowering uric acid in the diet

The main medical treatment indicated to reduce uric acid levels consists of establishing a specific diet characterized by a limited intake of foods rich in purines. However, it may also involve the administration of certain medications.

When levels of this acid are elevated in the blood, it causes small crystallites of purines to form and accumulate in the joints, causing inflammation and intense pain. This condition is known as gout. In addition, excess uric acid can also lead to kidney stones.

It should be clear that to lower uric acid levels it is not necessary to eliminate certain foods from the diet. What is appropriate is to establish a healthy and balanced diet, temporarily limiting the consumption of foods such as seafood, oily fish, red meat or alcoholic.
