How Can My Diet Affect Gout Attacks?

Foods To Avoid

When gout pain strikes it frequently invades the toe, specifically the big toe - and the old nursery rhyme "this little piggy go to market" may be some of the best advice gout sufferers may get. That`s of course, IF they get themselves to the market and pile their carts high with the wide array of foods out there harboring healing properties to banish and prevent gout pain.

Gout, which is actually a form of crystal-induced arthritis brought on by high blood levels of uric acid, usually results from enjoying too many feasts fit for a king. Carrying around TOO many pounds on your body and the over-consumption of protein-purine rich foods, such as liver, turkey, chicken and organ meats, sardines, and anchovies - all key contributors associated with these painful attacks that zero in on knees, ankles, wrists, feet and hands. Tipping back alcoholic beverages also add fuel to the searing pain of gout attacks.
