10 Foods That Help Gout
Helpful Gout Food #8: Coffee
Coffee is a drink made from roasted coffee beans. It is slightly acidic, bitter, and has a stimulating effect due to its caffeine content. Clinical trials have reported that coffee consumption is generally safe and is more likely to improve health than cause harm at 3 to 4 cups per day.
Based on a Canadian study with 46,000 participants, it has been reported that coffee consumption may decrease the risk of gout. In the trial, the more coffee consumed led to a larger decline in uric acid levels. The risk of gout was also found to be lower among those who drank 4 to 5 cups of coffee a day.
