Uric acid is a waste product produced by the body itself when it metabolizes purines . Although it is excreted through urine, a diet too rich in foods rich in this type of compound can cause its accumulation.
The kidneys, unable to filter uric acid, become overloaded, which can lead to infections. A buildup of uric acid causes joint pain and inflammation, and is the main cause of gout.
To prevent uric acid buildup, it is recommended to increase your consumption of citrus fruits, which contain less sugar than other fruits.
Minimize your consumption of red meat or oily fish, opting for white meat and vegetables.
Include calcium-rich foods, such as spinach, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds, in your diet: they are essential for reducing the development of uric acid crystals.
To eliminate uric acid crystals and relieve associated inflammation and pain, you can prepare a remedy by blending 3 carrots, 1 celery stalk, and grapefruit juice. Drink 3 or 4 times a week.
