gout diet

A gout-friendly diet focuses on reducing foods high in purines, which can raise uric acid levels and trigger attacks. Limit red meats, organ meats, and shellfish, and cut back on sugary drinks and alcohol, especially beer. Emphasize complex carbs like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and choose low-fat dairy products. Staying well-hydrated helps flush uric acid from your body. Maintaining a healthy weight and eating balanced meals can also prevent flare-ups. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice, but these guidelines support managing gout through diet.
