Gout Diet

Gout Diet . . . what does the body really need to stay gout-free?

Gout DietThere are so many variations of what a good gout diet consists of . . . so many that it becomes totally overwhelming and confusing to most gout sufferers. And the tragic part of it is that most tenets of a typical gout diet focus exclusively on avoid high purine foods in an attempt to keep uric acid in check. This is not a bad idea . . . it just doesn’t work.

Is there a gout diet that really works for gout?

Uric acid is an acid . . . one that is produced by the body in the process of metabolizing purines. Acid is acid – alkaline is the opposite of acid. Alkaline neutralizes acid. A diet that works to balance acid and alkaline is a good gout diet. There are many acid/alkaline diets out there to take advantage of; a quick search on the internet will land you plenty of choices.

Gout Diet . . . food only?

There’s really no need to go out looking for a specific gout diet; most diets that adhere to taking care of body pH, improving cellular health, and reference the importance of antioxidants will produce fair to excellent results.

For the sake of saving you time and keeping the gout diet concept simple, follow these guidelines:

  • eat 20% acidic foods, 80% alkaline
  • acidic foods should be clean forms of protein; lean meats, some fishes, beans/legumes, nuts, eggs, organic dairy
  • alkaline foods are live foods; freshly harvested vegetables and fruits
  • shop for your own food
  • buy organic as much as possible
  • cook or eat as many of your meals at home as possible

The more interesting and less talked about aspect of a gout diet is to really stop and review what the body needs and uses for fuel. First and foremost is Air . . . or oxygen. Second is Water . . . without water there is no life. Third . . . and last, is Food. Learning to breathe better and more completely will do a great deal for keeping the overall acidity in your body down. Understanding water, and understanding that water is not just water, is one of the easiest and most effective tools for neutralizing acids in the body, flushing toxins, and is the foundation of an excellent gout diet.

Make sure your gout diet is all about acid/alkaline balance.
