Arthritis- Understand it!
Given the direct link of gout to uric acid levels, managing it depends primarily on a strategy for eating well and managing the intake of foods that contribute to increased uric acid levels. Healthy kidney function is important as well, since uric acid is removed from the blood by the kidneys. The kidneys rely on the heart to efficiently pump the blood through the body. People who are overweight are more prone to heart disease, so staying physically active and managing weight can help in controlling gout.
