7 Enticing Recipes To Heal Gout

A gout diet contains foods low in purine. Purine is found naturally and is produced by the body. Anyone suffering from gout has issues flushing out purine from the body; excess purine in the system causes gout attacks.

Here are a few recipes to help decrease uric acid levels in the body:

Cherry juice
Blend four carrots, 25 grams of cherries, and one slice of pineapple. Add a dash of lemon juice and some ice before you serve it.

All the ingredients in this juice help to decrease uric acid in the body. Cherries are the most important as they neutralize uric acid and are also powerful antioxidants. Carrots, along with being highly nutritious, help to balance the sourness of the cherries. Have this juice twice a day for best results.

Chayote and citrus blend
Blend one-fourth of peeled and chopped chayote, one-fourth cup of pineapple juice, and half a cup of orange juice in a blender. Have it every morning.

This juice helps to lower uric acid levels. Being a diuretic, it is highly recommended for those suffering from gout, arthritis, and cellulitis. It reduces inflammation that occurs due to sprains and dislocations

Strawberry smoothie
Blend two handfuls of washed and chopped strawberries and one handful of raspberries with some water. Drink it once a day. Strawberries and raspberries neutralize uric acid in the body and prevent gout attacks.

Cucumber and celery blend
Blend a handful of cherries with one peeled cucumber and one stalk of celery. Blend it with water until well integrated. Consume this juice once a day.

Cucumber is a powerful diuretic while celery is a great antioxidant. Plain celery juice is healthy as well. You can add a small amount of ginger as it has anti-inflammatory properties. Cherries can be substituted with lemon as well.

Grapefruit smoothie
Extract the juice of one grapefruit and one lemon. Blend the juices with one radish in a blender. Make sure the juices are blended well. Drink a glass of this juice every day.

Bitter gourd juice
Blend one green apple, six ribs of celery, one small peeled cucumber, one-fourth of a de-seeded bitter gourd, one-fourth of a lemon with its peel, and half an inch of ginger. Serve it chilled to reduce the incidence of bitterness.

This juice, though not great on the tongue, is a fantastic detoxing juice. It cleanses the liver and cleans up toxic blood. It improves blood circulation and relieves gout pain.

Green apple juice
Blend one cucumber, one green apple, eight ribs of celery, ginger, and the juice of one lemon. Green apples are tasty and great to treat gout.

Try to use organic fruits and vegetables if available. Always try to consume fresh juices. Furthermore, if traveling for short periods, carry the juice with you, as these are better options to packaged drinks. If you are traveling for longer periods, consider investing and carrying a portable juicer/blender.
