How To Control Uric Acid Naturally

What is Uric Acid ?

Uric acid is a waste product formed when your body breaks down purines — found in foods and cells. Excess levels can lead to gout and joint pain.

Causes of Increased Uric Acid

🔹 High purine intake (red meat, seafood) 🔹 Sugary drinks & alcohol 🔹 Obesity 🔹 Kidney dysfunction 🔹 Dehydration

6 Changes You Must Adopt

Drink Plenty of Water

Aim for 8-16 cups daily, including herbal teas and unsweetened fruit juices like lemon water.Water helps kidneys flush out uric acid more efficiently, preventing crystal formation.

Avoid Sugary Drinks

Fructose in sodas, energy drinks, and packed juices triggers uric acid buildup. Switch to lemon water or herbal teas.

Change Your Diet

Add: berries, cherries, leafy greens, whole grains Avoid: red meat, shellfish, organ meats, fried food

Exercise Regularly

Helps maintain a healthy weight and improves kidney function for better uric acid processing

Manage Stress Levels

Chronic stress increases inflammation and uric acid levels. Practice yoga, deep breathing, or meditation daily.

Limit Alcohol

Especially beer and hard liquor—alcohol increases uric acid production and blocks its elimination.
