10 Foods That Help Gout
Helpful Gout Food #9: Whole Grains
Whole grains refer to grains that still contain the bran, endosperm, and germ compared to refined grains that have been stripped of these structures to improve the taste, appearance, and shelf-life. The consumption of whole grains has been associated with decreased risk of various diseases. Whole grains contain more nutrients and fiber compared to refined grains.
Whole grains are slower to digest and help prevent the blood sugar from spiking. This means that they have a much lower glycemic index and maintain satiety for a much longer time. This can prevent excessive consumption of calories and promote weight loss, which can be greatly beneficial for those with gout.
