6 Dietary Gout Remedy

The following are 6 dietary gout remedy that seemed to have been reported time and again by sufferers as having to relief and prevent the symptoms of gout:

Gout Remedy 1: Cherries - It might seem silly that something as simple as cherries could be the answer, but for some, it is. If you’re suffering with a gout flare up try to eat about a half a pound of cherries a day for a week to see if it helps. They don’t have to be fresh from the tree cherries, either. They can be from a can if you wish. Cherries contain a compound that helps to remove uric acid from the body.

Gout Remedy 2: Strawberries - It has been reported that a cup a day of these berries (or as much as a cup with each meal) can help lower uric acid levels. Strawberries contain a neutralizing agent so the body has less uric acid to process, thus relieving pain and inflammation.

Gout Remedy 3: Onions - There is a bioflavonoid called quercetin in onions. Studies found that it restrains xanthine oxidase, the enzyme that creates uric acid. Studies have also found it to have anti-inflammatory affects. However, more studies are needed to find out the true benefits and side effects of this remedy.

Gout Remedy 4: Apple Cider Vinegar - This is a remedy that comes up quite often when people discuss natural remedies, and is good for many other conditions as well as gout. Some suggest that just two tablespoons a day will help the body better process and get rid of the excess uric acid in the body. Vinegar, however, is hard to swallow, so mix it in a glass of water before drinking. Some report that a small addition of honey makes it easier to drink.

Gout Remedy 5: Oranges/citrus fruits – Contains vitamin C. 7 – 10 oranges can provide this important vitamin to our body. However most find it easier taken as a supplement. Taken in the amount of 1,000 mg at the onset of a gout attack to see if it can offer some relief. On a regular basis, at least 500 mg. should be taken each day. A doctor can help decide what level of vitamin C is suitable for you as it has been reported that for some gout sufferer’s high doses of vitamin C can actually worsen gout symptoms.

Gout Remedy 6: Celery Seeds - Celery seeds act as a diuretic. This means the kidneys work more to flush out the system, hence lowering the amount of uric acid in the system. Celery seeds also known to have anti-inflammatory properties and help with overall relaxation. (Please note: pregnant women or people taking blood thinning medications should not take this remedy.)

Your body adapts to whatever it is put through. A remedy is only so effective for a time being untill the body adapts to it. So it would be better that you know a number of remedies for your gout.
