'Some foods contain chemical compounds called purines. To process purines, the body has to create uric acid – the processing happens naturally in our body. If the amount of uric acid cannot be dissolved in our blood and remains with excessive levels, it can lead to many health problems such as gout attacks. Consuming foods high in purines increases the risk of gout attacks. Therefore, avoiding these 5 purines-rich foods will lower your risk of gout attacks. For 5 more foods of Foods High in Uric Acid to Avoid Gout Attacks, please visit this link: https://allremedies.com/foods-high-in-uric-acid/ 1. Red Meat It seems surprising, but red meat is one of the foods you should avoid to reduce the risk of gout attacks. Red meat is loaded with purines or uric acid. Therefore, its overconsumption can result in gout attacks and other health problems. It is important for you to limit the intake of red meat to protect your health and keep gout attacks at bay. Patients with high levels of uric acid or gout should limit red meat to 4-6 ounces daily. Furthermore, it is recommended eating plenty of vegetables and fruits in your diet. 2. Organ Meat Organ meats are loaded with the uric acid. Therefore, to avoid gout attacks, you should cut down the intake of organ meats such as tongue, sweetbreads, pate, and tripe. If you have gout attacks, it is essential for you to exclude organ meats in your diet. People with normal health can eat only 4 ounces of organ meats once a week. 3. Seafood And Fish Seafood and fish should be limited in your balanced and healthy diet because they are rich in the uric acid (purines). If you have the high levels of uric acid in your body, overeating seafood and fish can aggravate gout symptoms and cause gout attacks. However, we can not deny many amazing health benefits of seafood and fish as they are loaded with nutrients, vitamins and healthy fats. Therefore, it is okay if you like eating shrimp, scallops, crab, lobster, ell, or salmon. However, make sure that you do not consume more than 4 to 6 ounces daily. 4. Alcoholic Drinks Alcoholic drinks can worsen gout symptoms and trigger gout attacks especially in people who are vulnerable to this disease. Drinking too much alcohol leads to the increase in uric acid in the blood. Therefore, if you have gout or high levels of uric acid, you should avoid any alcoholic beverages. 5. Sugary Drinks Sugary drinks are as bad as alcoholic beverages. Sugary drinks increase the uric acid in the blood by delivering high fructose corn syrup. Several studies have shown that people drink too many beverages with fructose corn syrup are prone to gout attacks. Instead of sugary drinks, you should drink water, tea, coffee or fresh-squeezed juice for the good health. Those are 5 out of 10 foods you should avoid eating to lower the risk of gout attacks. ===== Follow AllRemedies :===== Website - https://allremedies.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/allremedies/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/allremedies/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/allremediescom/ Google+ - https://plus.google.com/+Allremedies/ ---- Don\'t forget to subscribe on YouTube here: https://goo.gl/2xv66d'
