We are often asked to recommend a Thai balm that will help with gout. Yes, we have Thai balms that significantly reduce inflammation and pain from gout, and also reduce the size of bumps on the leg.
You remember that I'm boring, right? Alas, Thai balms, like all external remedies, only eliminate the effects of gout. If the cause is not removed, the problem will return over time.
The main cause of gout is an increase in the level of uric acid in the blood. And there are many reasons why this happens.
Uric acid isn't just the culprit for your gout. Because of it, osteochondrosis, arthritis and arthrosis develop, and problems with blood pressure appear.
Having removed the inflammation and reduced the lump (growth) on the leg using external means, you simply apply a “patch” - it will be much more effective to solve the problem radically.
In this article, we will look at the reasons for increased uric acid levels, which foods increase its level and which decrease it, and how to get rid of gout by normalizing the level of uric acid in the blood.
Gout is a common chronic joint disease that most often appears in people over 40 years of age. Gout can be localized in different parts of the body, but most often the joint of the big toe and the joints of the hands are affected.
Causes of gout
The main cause of gout is high levels of uric acid. High levels of uric acid over a long period of time lead to crystallization of urate in the tissues of the joints (arthritis, gout) and kidneys (stones and kidney failure). But why the level of uric acid in the blood becomes higher than normal is a separate question to which there are many answers. Uric acid levels become higher than normal when the body produces more uric acid than it can eliminate. That is, the reason may be either excessive production of uric acid, or a disruption in its processing.
Uric acid crystals accumulate in joints, forming a build-up, in muscles, skin, and internal organs, causing pain and discomfort, inflammation, swelling, and fever.
Moreover, in people with gout, a blood test may show a normal level of uric acid and, on the contrary, people with high levels of uric acid may not have problems with the joints. Why? It's simple: for joint problems to start, high levels of uric acid need to remain in the blood for a long time.
The accumulation of crystals does not happen instantly, it is a long process. But the reverse process is even longer. You may have changed the factor that led to gout, but the gout itself remains.
However, it won’t hurt to get tested for the level of uric acid in your blood.
If there is a lack of uric acid, the body will also suffer - it is an important component necessary for our body.
What we eat plays a big role in regulating the level of uric acid in the blood. Eating large amounts of food high in purines leads to increased uric acid levels.
The level of uric acid in the blood depends on the ability of our body to dissolve purines. Uric acid is excreted in two main ways: through the digestive tract and through the kidneys, with 2/3 of the uric acid being absorbed by the kidneys. In 90% of cases, the cause of an increase in the level of uric acid in the blood is a violation of the excretion of sic acid by the kidneys.
What causes an increase in uric acid in the blood?
- Genetic disorders leading to a lack of certain enzymes, if your grandparents and mothers/fathers had gout - you are at risk
- Diseases that lead to increased levels of uric acid in the blood. These include cancer, leukemia, blood diseases, thalassemia, obesity, diabetes, as well as chemotherapy and radiation for oncology can lead to an increase in uric acid levels.
- Kidney diseases: nephrotic syndrome, kidney failure, lead poisoning
- Hypothyroidism
- Frequent and excessive consumption of alcohol, especially beer. Alcohol reduces the kidneys' ability to excrete uric acid, resulting in an increase in the concentration of uric acid in the blood.
- High protein diet, eating fermented foods.
- Obesity and overweight
- Injuries, fractures, concussions
- Side effects from medications such as aspirin, hydrochlorothiazide, cyclosporine, levodopa, etc.

Answer
Purine content in foods
| Foods with very high purine content (up to 1000 mg / 3 servings) | Anchovies, Brains, Meat sauces, Kidneys, Liver, Sardines, Yeast, especially brewer's yeast, Mussels, Herring, Meat broths, Veal tongue, Cocoa Coffee Tea, Beer, Whiskey and other alcohol |
| High to moderately high purine foods (100 mg/3 servings) | Bacon, Beef, Fish broths, Carp, Chicken soup, cod, crab, Duck, Goose, Halibut, Ham, Lamb, Lobster, Oysters, Perch, Pork, Rabbit, Shellfish, Turkey, Veal, Venison, Lentils, Pike, Sprats |
| Foods with moderate to low purine content (5-50 mg/3 servings) | Asparagus, Cauliflower, Chicken, Beans, Mushrooms, Oatmeal, Peas, Salmon, Spinach, Sorrel, Tuna, Cottage cheese, Cheese, Eggs |
* 1 serving = 80 grams cooked
If you have gout, it is especially not recommended to eat meat broths, especially in which the meat has been cooked for more than 2 hours, and vegetable broths made from vegetables containing purines. At the same time, it is better to eat asparagus, green peas and other “purine” vegetables not raw, but heat-treated.
If purine metabolism is disrupted, you should never fast, as in this case the level of uric acid in the blood quickly increases and can cause a severe attack of gout.
Limit your consumption of coffee and wine, as these foods lead to dehydration, which increases the concentration of uric acid in the blood.
Prevention of gout
- Eat as many purine-free fruits and vegetables as possible to reduce acidity, but avoid eating young shoots.
- Increase your consumption of clean drinking water
- Avoid eating foods high in purines.
- If you are overweight, lose weight gradually and correctly - combine proper low-calorie nutrition with physical activity. Don’t lose weight suddenly - weight loss that is comfortable for the body is no more than 500 grams per week. Sudden weight loss, as well as fasting and strict diets, leads to a sharp increase in the level of uric acid in the blood and an exacerbation of gout and arthritis.
- Take any medicine only as prescribed by your doctor. do not self-medicate, especially with medicinal chemicals.
- Do not knead or squeeze the affected area when rubbing with topical products.
- For acute pain, apply ice for 20 minutes, then consult a doctor to identify the cause of gout and eliminate it.
