Uric acid control - Homemade remedies

• Cherries

  If you’re fond of eating cherries, cheer up because you have

  

•  been unknowingly already maintaining your uric acid levels by consuming cherries, which have anti-inflammatory substances called anthocyanis that can reduce uric acid levels. Cherries help prevent crystallisation and deposition of uric acid in the joints. In addition, consumption of cherries also neutrialise the acids and help avert inflammation and soreness. Even if cherries are not your favourite fruit, consuming just 200 gms every day is enough to bring down uric acid levels.

  Foods rich in fibre

  Including foods that are high in dietary fibre, one can cut 

  

• down the levels of uric acid in the blood, suggests the University of Maryland Medical Center. What happens when you consume fibre rich foods is that uric acid gets absorbed in the bloodstream, which allows it to get eliminated from your body through your kidneys. These foods include oats, broccoli, apples, oranges, pears, strawberries, blueberries, cucumbers and carrots.
