7 FOODS THAT PREVENT GOUT Share | Like | Comment l Repost http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rawforvitality/177654739026014 Gout is a disease that is caused by uric acid build-up in the body. Uric acid is formed when the digestive system breaks down purines in our food. A diet low in purines helps by allowing excess uric acid to be flushed out in the urine. Are you aware of the negative effects of increased uric acid levels in your body? It can cause Gout, which is a complex form of Arthritis. If the uric acid level increases in the bloodstream, it starts to crystallize into needle shaped crystals in the connective tissues of the joints and cause an unbearable arthritis pain also known as gout. A study conducted by the University of Maryland Medical Center, proved that middle aged men are more prone to develop gout than women. According to National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), gout develops in 4 stages: Asymptomatic gout: This is the stage where no treatment is necessary because the uric acid levels start to elevate but no symptoms are visible. Acute gouty arthritis: Also known as Hyperuricemia is the stage when crystal formation in the joint spaces takes place. Symptoms include pain and inflammation of joints, but usually the attacks subside within three to ten days without treatment. Interval gout: It is a no pain stage that takes place between acute joint pains and normal functionality of the joints. Chronic tophaceous gout: The most intense stage of gout occurs after many years of the initial stages and it causes permanent damaging effects on the joints and in some cases also damages the kidneys. Symptoms of gout include excruciating pain, redness and swelling of affected joints and usually the joint of the big toe is affected. The best way to avoid gout is keep a regular check on the diet and avoid foods that cause an increase in uric acid levels. There are also some foods that can actually cause a relief from gout problems. Purines are the natural substances found in the body and many foods, when these purines break down they result in uric acid formation. So people with gout problems should avoid foods containing purines. What you should eat if you have gout? The foods that are recommended by The American Medical Association, for gout patients are those that contain: Fiber rich- complex carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables and fruits) Low protein foods (only 15% of calories should come from lean meat, poultry and soy) Only 30% of fats should be consumed (10% of which should be animal fats) Foods that can prevent gout Following are the seven foods that can help prevent gout: 1. Pineapple Pineapples are known to contain bromelain, an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory properties. So supplementing pineapple to the diet may relieve gout pain. 2. Ginger A study in mice revealed that the compounds found in ginger are helpful in reducing inflammation caused by uric acid.

Researches prove that cherry juice does not lower the uric acid, but it is its anti-inflammatory properties that play a vital role in controlling gout attacks, the occurrence of attacks reduce from 3 to 4 years to once in a year. 5. Bananas Bananas are found to be low in sugar and high in potassium and are alkaline in nature. It is one of the best foods for preventing gout.

Gaut ialah salah satu bentuk artritis yang diakibatkan oleh pengumpulan hablur-hablur asid urik pada sendi-sendi, atau akibat berlebihan asid urik di dalam badan. Keadaan ini adalah disebabkan oleh metabolisma tubuh sesaorang yang tidak normal. Mereka yang mengalami gaut ini biasanya adalah mereka yang menghasilkan terlalu banyak urik asid atau mereka yang menghadapi kesukaran mengeluarkan  asid urik dari tubuh mereka. Asid urik adalah bahan kumuhan berasal dari sejenis protein yang dipanggil purin. Badan kita yang sihat lumrahnya  membuang bahan kumuhan ini melalui air kencing (urin) dan bakinya melalui ketulan najis.  Namun bagi  pengidap gout, asid urik yang berlebihan tidak dapat dibuang dan ia berkumpul di dalam sendi.
Masalah hanya akan timbul apabila asid urik dalam darah ini tidak dapat dikeluarkan dari tubuh. Apabila ini berlaku maka paras asid urik akan meningkat dan seterusnya mengakibatkan gaut. Apabila pesakit gaut menemui doktor, apa yang akan dibuat oleh doktor ialah dengan memberikan ubat untuk menghilangkan kesan sakit (pain killer), mengurangkan pembengkakan dan mengurangkan paras asid urik dalam darah.
Pengambilan kerap pain killer akan melemahkan buah pinggang dan apabila buah pinggang semakin lemah, semakin sukar untuk buah pinggang ini menyingkirkan asid urik dari tubuh. Langkah yang perlu diambil dalam perubatan herba ialah:-
- Banyakkan minum air masak terutama sekali sebelum masuk waktu tidur.
- Amalkan pemakanan sihat
- Amalkan berbekam
- Minum susu kambing
- Elakkan memakan makanan seafood, kekacang dan makanan yang diproses
