Gout, a type of arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in the joints, can cause painful flareups that can happen suddenly. While watching your weight and taking medication can help with gout, sticking to a healthy diet and consuming certain foods can help ease symptoms and prevent gout flareups from occurring.
A gout-friendly diet is very similar to a healthy weight loss diet – focusing on vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grains, and fatty fish can keep you at a healthy weight and control other conditions that tend to impact people with gout, such as high blood pressure, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. The key is finding out what foods work for you and what foods to avoid, so every meal is good for your mind and your body. Check out our guide for 15 healthy recipes for gout that are delicious, heart-healthy, and will help keep your flareups at bay.
