It is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood, which can form hard crystals in the joints. Risk factors include diet, obesity, medical conditions, certain medications, and family history.
Managing gout involves medications to treat acute attacks and prevent future ones, lifestyle modifications, and treating any underlying health conditions that may be contributing to high uric acid levels. A diet low in purines, maintaining a healthy weight, staying hydrated, and avoiding excessive alcohol and sugary drinks can help manage gout.
Early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent joint damage and other complications. Regular monitoring of uric acid levels and adhering to treatment plans can help control gout effectively.
Vitamin C may help lower uric acid levels, and Cherries have been studied for their potential to reduce gout attacks. Omega-3 Fatty Acids have anti-inflammatory properties, Magnesium can aid muscle and joint function, and Bromelain, an enzyme from pineapple, has anti-inflammatory effects. However, consulting with a healthcare provider is important before starting any supplements for gout management.
