(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 21, 2011 ) New York, NY -- One of the leading authorities on the subject is The Gout Remedies found at http://www.thegoutremedies.com. This is a resource developed so that people with questions on how to prevent and cure gout can quickly get the answers they need.
Have you ever heard the phrase “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”? This is especially true with preventing gout, because reversing the effects of gout can take a long time depending on the severity of the disease.
The most important steps to take in preventing gout are to have a healthy diet and and get plenty of rest each night. A good diet is primarily one that eats a lot of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Most of the foods in the “do not eat” list are meats, fish, sugar, salt, and white breads and pastas.
The reason for these diet choices is because gout is caused by excess uric acid in the blood. Certain food will increase the amount of uric acid, and those are the “bad” foods mentioned.
If you eat a lot of these types of foods and are concerned about the disease, look for some of the main symptoms of gout. The first stage of the disease only has one symptom- higher uric acid concentration in the blood. This can only be discovered through a blood test from your doctor.
The second, third and fourth stages are categorized by painful flare-ups of the gout. Usually this takes place in the foot, and you will experience very sharp, sudden pain. If these symptoms are occurring, see your doctor to find out if you have developed gout.
If it turns out that you have already developed the disease, there are some gout foods to avoid. These foods are very likely to trigger a flare-up, which is intense and painful. The main foods to stay away from are anything with artificial sweeteners, soda, cigarettes, white wheat flour, chocolate, brown sugar, sugar, beer, pasta, table salt, white rice, and breads.
These are basically the foods that make your body more acidic.
Even though there are a lot of foods listed here, consider that there are a number of other things you can eat to help prevent and cure gout. There are a number of simple gout diet recipes you can try which have been proven to lower your uric acid concentration and prevent flare-ups.
TheGoutRemedies.com has several listed on their website, but generally anything without the above foods will do. The most important thing is to have a lot of fruits and vegetables to alkalize the blood.
If you would like to learn more about how to cure or prevent gout, please visit this resource for more information. Due to the very acidic American diet, the next few years is likely to see a major increase of gout cases.
