Naturally Lower Uric Acid Is Possible!?

Answer 1

If uric acid rises too high, it can cause all sorts of problems in the body including gout and kidney stones. Since high levels are often a result of poor elimination by the kidneys, it is beneficial to take steps to support healthy kidneys and assist them with the breakdown of of purines and uric acid. There are a number of effective natural ways patients can do this at home.

Drink Plenty of Water

Many people are dehydrated these days. Drinking too little water wreaks havoc on the entire body, and one of the problems it causes is accumulation of wastes because the kidneys are less able to do their job. Uric acid is one type of waste that builds up and causes gout and other issues. Drink plenty of water so that your urine is a light yellow when you go to the restroom. When your body is well-hydrated, gout symptoms can decrease or even go away entirely, so keep this in mind as an effective weapon against gout.

Break It Down

In acidic blood, uric acid can crystallize and build up in joints, causing gout. Healthy blood is slightly alkaline, and the foods that support it are ones that should be eaten regularly anyway. Foods rich in potassium, such as fruit and vegetables, help keep the uric acid crystals broken down so they can be easily eliminated. Vinegar helps doubly, since it alkalizes blood and its acetic acid content dissolves the uric acid crystals. Although many say that only raw apple cider vinegar will work and white vinegar will not, this is not true. Both contain the acetic acid, but the raw apple cider vinegar has live acetobacter cultures that will continue to produce acetic acid in your gut, so regular consumption can give long-term benefits Another great food for neutralizing uric acid is cherries--many have experienced improvement, and some have seen their gout go away with as few as 6-8 cherries daily, and canned cherries and juice work as well as fresh.
