let's talk about the seven natural remedies
for gout what is gout well gout is a sudden sharp pain usually in your big toe formed by
uric acid crystals because there's excessive amount of uric acid forming as crystals
in the joint of your big toe but it could actually occur in other joints as well so what's
happening is the uric acid is being formed from purines which are certain compounds in
organ meats especially liver and kidney gain like deer meat fish seafood sugar yeast
even nutritional yeast some people are if you're sensitive to that that can actually increase the
risk of getting gout also in certain lentils and black eyed peas but for the most part vegetables
are very low on purine so if you're sensitive to gout you want to increase your vegetables and
your diet and cut down some of the things that can trigger the gout but these crystals aren't
the real thing that's causing the pain it's not that there's sharp little razor blade
crystals that's you know irritating the the toe joint what's happening is your white blood cells
consider the crystals a pathogen so it's attacking it so it's really your own immune system that's
causing inflammation so what can you do about it well number one you can reduce these foods
number two you can tweak the ph of your body to make it slightly more alkaline because these
crystals develop in more of an acidic medium so one thing you could do is take something
that's alkaline potassium citrate that would help lemon juice even though it's acid becomes
alkaline in your body after it's oxidized so lemon juice is actually very good now even though
apple cider vinegar is an acid it seems to help reduce uric acid crystals now what i think that's
really happening and that's just a guess is the apple cider vinegar is acidifying the body and
improving the immune system to a certain degree vitamin c has been known to decrease gout pain
ginger is a very powerful natural remedy for uric acid also turmeric is good stinging nettle root is
another good anti-inflammatory i like this a lot for any type of inflammatory condition in the body
and of course like i said potassium citrate these are the seven things that i would recommend if
you have gout before you go if you have a question about a product or you're new to keto and you want
to know how to begin keto or you're on keto and you need a debug because it's not going as smooth
