10 Foods That Help Gout
Helpful Gout Food #2: Nuts
A nut is a fruit where there is a seed inside a hard shell. Botanically, the term is much more restrictive, but in cuisine, the term is applied to many seeds even when it is not considered to be a true nut. Nuts are an important source of nutrients for humans and animals due to their high fat content, which converts into an energy source. Some examples of nuts include Brazil nuts, almonds, candlenuts, macadamias, chestnuts, and cashews.
Nuts can be a great source of protein for those suffering from gout as they do not contain purines. The fat in nuts is also healthy fat, which ensures satiety and, therefore, helps weight loss.
