Does ginger reduce uric acid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ginger is often considered to have potential anti-inflammatory properties, and some studies suggest that it may help reduce inflammation in the body. However, there is limited direct evidence to support the idea that ginger specifically reduces uric acid levels.

Uric acid is a waste product that is produced during the breakdown of purines, which are substances found in certain foods and also produced by the body. Elevated levels of uric acid can lead to a condition called hyperuricemia, which is associated with gout and kidney stones.

Is the vegetable kale bad for gout?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, I should think quite the opposite. Kale is rich in iron and minerals. Gout comes from rich foods most often, such as creams and fatty foods.

americans and many Caribbean islands cook kale using large amounts of pork fat and salt. In that case, a kale dish of that variety would be compared to drinking a dinner of fatty cream...so don't! :-)

Is potato vodka safe for gout?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Drinks like vodka, rum, whiskey, gin, etc. contain purine and hence, should either be avoided or taken in very little quantities. alcoholic drinks are also diuretics and this is also something that will increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood. There is no evidence aside from popular myth that rum and vodka stand out from the rest as alcoholic beverages that can be had to excess.

Can grapefruit cause gout?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes in fact it can.

It would seem that grapefruit is moderately low in purines and therefore would not in itself play a large role in a gout attack.

However, things are not as they always seem with gout. Personal experience says that drinking Grapefruit Juice 16 oz's a day or more can actually bring on a gout attack. This result is repeatable with some gout sufferers, while others don't seem to be affected. When in doubt go lightly on the Grapefruit Juice.
