How to Naturally Cure Gout



Gout used to be referred to as the "disease of kings", due to the fact that gout is usually caused by the type of diet "the good life" brings. Most common in men, gout pain is usually felt in the first joint of the big toe. Natural cures are often a very effective treatment.

cherries




blueberries




flaxseed oil

Diet is the first thing to evaluate. Eliminate alcohol intake, maintain a low-purine diet, increase complex carbohydrates and decrease simple carbohydrates. Also, maintain a low fat intake, and keep protein intake moderate.





2


Increase your intake of healthy fluids such as water and green tea.

Studies have shown cherries and blueberries to be effective in eliminating gout symptoms. Eat one half to one pound of fresh red-blue berries.

Quercetin is naturally found in fruits and vegetables, but supplementation can also help treat gout. For best results, take with bromelain, which is an exzyme complex of pineapple. Flax seed oil also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be helpful.
