Gout usually afflicts the feet, legs and knees of people with high levels of uric acid in the bloodstream. But the most commonly attacked area is the big toe. It is an acute form of arthritis usually linked to poor diet and lack of physical activity. To diminish gout, put yourself on a strict diet. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Meat and Fish
Make sure your diet isn't high in purines. Lamb, pork and beef should be avoided, as well as meat extracts and gravies. "Organ meats," such as kidneys, liver or brains, are especially harmful. Also be sure to avoid certain seafood like sardines, anchovies, roe (fish eggs), mussels, codfish, herring, scallops, haddock and trout.
Drinks
Do not drink beer if you are trying to avoid the gout as it increases your risk of the disease by almost 50 percent. In general, alcohol should be avoided.
Other Foods
Anything that isn't high in vitamin C can increase your risk. Stay away from are dried beans like peas and lentils, oatmeal, asparagus, spinach, cauliflower, and mushrooms. Do not consume candy, soft drinks, syrup, fruit preserves like jam or jelly, or anything high in fructose corn syrup and sucrose if you have gout or want to avoid it.
