    How To Avoid Hyperuricemia

    A high serum uric acid level, medically termed hyperuricemia, is called hyperuricemia. This often results from long-term consumption of alcohol, grapefruit juice or other purine rich foods. It can cause a condition called gout which causes swollen painful joints which eventually deposit of uric acid crystals in the joints. It can also lead to your blood being too alkaline. Uric acid can accumulate in the body for several reasons: hyperuricemia, cancer, kidney stones, gout, vitamin D intoxication, and candida. There are several things you can do to avoid hyperuricemia and to control its symptoms.

    It’s important to understand that it is impossible to completely avoid ingesting purines, because they are an essential part of animal protein. The best way to avoid hyperuricemia and gout attacks is to limit your intake of all animal protein and, if you already have the condition, to avoid eating animal products altogether. Purines, like any chemical, are present naturally in a healthy diet, but excessive intake can result in adverse health outcomes.

    To avoid hyperuricemia and gout, avoid high-purine foods whenever possible. The first place to look is in the vegetable and fruit sections of your grocery store. Cut back on red meats and dairy products. When buying or preparing, prepare the food at home to avoid cooking it at high temperatures. Also avoid high-fat cooking oils like coconut oil, palm oil and tallow.

    Foods that are high in purines should be avoided as much as possible. These include shellfish such as shrimp, lobster and scallops, meat that has been broiled or grilled, sardines, Herring and other fish, ground beef, dried beans and peas, kidney or liver, mushrooms including mushrooms with their fungi or their extracts, and beer. If you must eat these types of food, make sure you do it in moderation and choose your meats carefully. Also, make sure to avoid drinking alcohol, as high-purine foods tend to raise uric acid levels.

    Other foods to avoid are those which contain excess purines. These include dried beans, peas and lentils, as well as mushrooms and beer. In addition, a high-purine diet may result in gout attacks because of the tendency for uric acids to bind with amino acids in the body. To minimize the risk of gout, a low-protein, low-vegetable diet is recommended.

    Though hyperuricemia is not a clear-cut cause of gout, it does appear to be one contributing factor in some individuals. It can be managed by lowering your protein intake and increasing your fluid intake. If your hyperuricemia is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, then it is important to start living a healthy lifestyle.
