'#Gout #Foods To Avoid #Arthritis 10 Foods to Avoid if you don’t want to get GOUT! If you have gout, you\'re well aware of how painful it is to experience attacks of pain in your joints. The pain might be severe and come on suddenly. Sufferers may feel as if their joints are on fire when they wake up in the middle of the night. What causes Gout? This discomfort is caused by the buildup of uric acid in joints. Uric acid is normally in your urine and is a normal metabolic byproduct of purine, a component of a variety of foods but mainly in animal products. This acid crystallizes in joints if too much of it builds up, resulting in inflammation and pain. Foods play a huge role in the buildup of uric acid, so if you are prone to have gout it is important that you know what foods to avoid. Avoid these foods: 1. SARDINES Sardines have high amounts of purines compared to other foods. For people who don’t have gout, sardines can be a healthy source of omega 3 fats, but they are loaded with purines that turn into uric acid. They are bad news if you have gout! 2. BEEF Cow’s meat is not nearly as high in purines as sardines, but it is still quite high. Beef has 100 mg of purines per 100 g, compared to over 400 mg in sardines. 3. ANCHOVIES Anchovies are another tasty small fish. It is salty and tasty. It’s also high in purines (over 230 mg per 100 g). 4. CHICKEN BREAST Chicken breast with skin contains 180 mg of purines. It’s not easy to avoid it at all times, but you should avoid it when you are having a gout attack. 5. BEER Brewer’s Yeast is a fundamental ingredient in the making of beer. Unfortunately for gout sufferers, brewer’s yeast is considered a high-purine food So if you are having a gout attack, do not drink any beer as it may makes the condition worse. 7. LIVER If you have gout, dishes like chopped liver and liver and onions are best avoided, along with other organ meats like kidney and heart since they’re high in purines. 8. BEANS If you want to be super strict and get rid of nearly all purines in your diet, you could also cut out beans, including soy and its different forms (tofu, tempeh, etc). 9. MUSHROOMS For a plant food, mushrooms are extremely high in purines, over 400 mg per 100 g (similar to sardines). 10. TUNA Unfortunately, a lot of tuna these days is filled with toxic heavy metals. It’s also full of purines, around 290 mg per 100 g. BodyFocus Panel of Health Experts advises..... that although these foods are high in purines, it is still safe to eat these foods in moderation when you are not having a gout attack! hyperuricemia gout diet big toe pain joint pain gout diagnosis gout pathophysiology'
