Natural Drink For Gout Treatment

Gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is produced when substances known as purines, which are found in all tissues in the body, break down in the body. Gout is a higher than normal accumulation of uric acid in the body.

In a healthy person, uric acid is broken down in the blood, filtered through the kidneys and excreted in the urine. When kidney function is disrupted, they are unable to remove uric acid in the normal way, it crystallizes and accumulates in the joints, causing gout.

Gout is a chronic disease that impairs the quality of life of those who suffer from it. For this reason, patients with gout are constantly looking for new ways to treat gout-induced inflammation and pain.

This is what you should know about gout

Often, gout first appears in the joint of the big toe, which becomes swollen, red, and touch-sensitive. Gout can cause arthritis of the base of the big toe, and at a later stage, non-toe joints can also become ill.

Advanced arthritis is found especially in the knee, ankle and finger joints. Chronically, the disease causes permanent joint changes and crystallization of uric acid into soft tissues.

The pain and inflammation gradually increase and spread from the toe to the rest of the body:

• On the footboard
• To the ankles
• To the heels
• On my knees
• On the wrists
• Fingers
• To the elbows

In the early stages of gout, pain attacks, swelling, and redness usually last only a few days. Over time, the symptoms of gout worsen and become clearer, the infections last longer and require treatment.

These factors increase the risk of developing gout:

• If you are a man.
• If you have gout in your family.
• You are overweight.
• You drink a lot of alcohol. Alcohol raises the level of lactic acid in the blood, which effectively prevents the excretion of uric acid through the kidneys, increasing the body’s uric acid and urate levels. Beer itself is also rich in purines.
• You eat foods that contain purines (meat, liver, beans).
• Exposure to lead in the environment.
• You have undergone an organ transplant.
• You should regularly take the following medicines: diuretics, aspirin, cyclosporine or levodopa.
• You enjoy niacin.

Diagnosing gout can be tricky because the symptoms resemble other illnesses and health problems. Often, a diagnosis of gout requires a fluid sample from an inflamed joint to see if the fluid contains uric acid crystals.

Natural substances suitable for the treatment of gout

When a doctor diagnoses gout in a patient, the treatment plan often consists of anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and low doses of cortisones. The treatment for a sudden gout attack is joint rest, an ice bag, and an NSAID. The fastest treatment for a sudden gout attack is cortisone injected into the joint. An oral cortisone regimen is also effective.

These drugs relieve pain and prevent recurrence of inflammation. Medication aims to improve the patient’s quality of life and painlessness. Nevertheless, daily medication is not recommended as it may cause long-term side effects.

Long-term care is based on improving the patient’s medication, lifestyle, and especially diet.  The gout patient should avoid eating foods high in purines, as they are converted to uric acid in the body.

There are plenty of purines, e.g. viscera, small fish, fish and poultry skins, yeast preparations (however, yeast-raised pastries are suitable) and wheat germ. Foods containing moderate purines should be ingested avoiding large single doses. These include larger fish, shellfish, small egg roe, meat and meat products, beans, lentils, peas, soy products, broth products and mushrooms.

A nutritionist is often helpful in planning treatment and if you are overweight, you should strive for moderate weight loss.
