Gout is actually a form of arthritis that happens when a build up of uric acid causes sharp needle-like crystals to form in the joint. Excess weight has been proven to increase a person’s risk for developing gout as can a diet high in purines. Drinking alcohol, especially beer, can also have a dramatic influence on whether someone will develop or trigger a gout attack.
So, what works the best when it comes to preventing and treating gout? Lifestyle changes, diet modifications, avoiding alcohol and maintain a healthy weight are all very essential factors in preventing and treating gout. Another well-known and effective remedy for gout is consuming cherry juice. The key ingredient that helps gout is flavonoids, which aid in reducing uric acid levels in your blood stream and the inflammation associated with gout.
There isn’t any scientific proof for using cherry juice as treatment for gout and while many can attest to its effectiveness in reducing symptoms and future attacks, it does not work for everyone. It also will not be effective if other preventative measures are not being observed.
