Increased Uric Acid is an inflammatory condition. People with increased uric acid experiences severe attacks of pain, swelling and inflammation of the joints. This disease severely impacts quality of life as it make it difficult to walk and perform our regular house hold activities.
But the good news is that we have medicines.
Yes, and they are working effectively. Here point to be noted that medicines can only relieve some of the symptoms related to inflammation like reduction in pain but cannot treat its root cause. And what about its side effects??? Every medicine has its own side effects. On top of it it has to be taken for the whole life..
To make the condition worse there are so many myth related to diet for increased uric acid. One of the most common myth is that, "Don't take protein". So now, i am not allowed to take dals, milk, curd, eggs, fish, chicken, beans and almonds but what about my body. I have protein every where in my body, "Muscles, hairs, skin, hormones, enzymes, blood every thing is made up of protein. If I won't take protein how my body is going to perform its vital functions????
So, it is very important to have right information regarding dietary therapy to improve the symptoms of increased uric acid. As most of the doctors lack this information approaching a qualified dietician is highly recommended. A qualified dietician will give you complete information regarding diet and protein intake. Of course you can take proteins which are low in purine and in a measured amount. Some of the protein rich food items like walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds are very rich in omega 3 which helps to reduce inflammation.
I have found in my practice that certain food consumption can bring a rapid change in your health due to their pro- or anti-inflammatory effects. In addition diet also helps to increase good bacteria in your gut which helps to reduce inflammation. So, on the basis of anti-inflammatory effect of different food items we have designed a diet that not only helps to reduce uric acid but you will lose weight.
Yes, weight loss is very important because your fat cells are very much responsible for increasing oxidative stress and inflammation. Weight loss is also important to reduce excess load on your knee. Anti inflammatory diet is so powerful that it can reduce the symptoms of swollen joints and stiffness within 3-4 weeks.
