Gout is a disease in which uric acid levels accumulate and cause massive damage and swelling to various joints of the body. The uric acid is caused by poor dietary habits and metabolic stress. Specific lifestyle strategies can help reduce the symptoms of gout and restore proper metabolic function to beat gout naturally.
When uric acid accumulates, it forms sharp crystals called urates, which penetrate and irritate the joints. The most common areas to be affected by urates are the big toe, feet, ankles, wrists, knees, and elbows. Gout is extremely painful, and most physicians are unable to treat it effectively without dangerous medications.For years, doctors have been telling us gout is caused by a disruption in purine metabolism. Purines are molecules that are formed by a grouping of nucleic acids that are prevalent in foods such as red meat, organ meats, seafood, and alcohol. Organ meats such as kidney and liver contain the most purines by far.
