Gout occurs when you have too much uric acid in your bloodstream, resulting in the buildup of painful uric acid crystals in your joints. Although this can be a sign of kidney problems, your diet plays a significant role in the development of gout. This includes eating too many high-purine foods, which contain uric acid, and drinking too little water. As cucumbers are low in purines and high in water, they can potentially play an important role in preventing gout.
