What Is Gout?
7. Easing Gout with Diet
Eating a healthy diet can help prevent flare ups. Avoid red meats, organ meats, seafood, and limit alcohol intake (hard liquor and beer).
Adequate hydration is also important because it aids in metabolism and eventual excretion of excess uric acid. Additionally, losing weight (specially in obese patients) will go a long way in relieving pressure on the joints.
