Important Tips
Diet is a very important factor behind gout. If you eat right you will avoid getting more gout attacks. So, eliminating the triggers that can cause you to get more attacks is vital. Food and drinks like alcohol, fizzy drinks, red meat, and seafood are triggers. Whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and low-fat dairy is the food you should eat more of.
It’s also very important to drink lots of water. If you drink lots of water, you are helping your kidney. If your kidney is healthy it can help reduce uric acid build-up → that means fewer gout attacks for you.
