How to Reduce Uric Acid levels?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. Weight management: Obesity has been determined as one of the most prominent contributing factors to elevated uric acid levels in the blood, as it may hinder the efficient functioning of the kidneys. Excess weight can lead to difficulties in filtering out uric acid while also increasing its production. It is recommended to make long-term, sustainable changes to manage weight, which, in turn, can help lower blood uric acid levels and improve overall health. This can be achieved by becoming physically active, adopting a balanced diet, and incorporating nutrient-dense foods into one's diet.

2. Drinking more water: Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, helps keep the kidneys healthy and functioning efficiently; thus, it aids in proper uric acid filtration. Additionally, it also reduces the chances of developing kidney stones due to the crystallization of excessive uric acid.

3. Limiting/avoiding purine-rich food: Certain types of foods may contain high levels of purine. Even some nutritious foods can have high purine concentrations, so it may not be possible to completely avoid purine, but its intake can be limited. High consumption of meat and seafood has been shown to increase uric acid levels. 
4. Avoiding medications that increase uric acid levels: There are some medications that may elevate the level of uric acid in the blood. Changing doses or taking alternative medicines may help to control uric acid levels. However, this should only be done on the recommendation or after discussion with a qualified healthcare provider.

5. Avoiding sugary or sweetened beverages: Fructose is a naturally occurring sugar that contributes to a higher level of uric acid after breaking down to release purines. Thus, limiting the amount of sugary foods and beverages consumed can help lower uric acid levels. Replacing sugary foods with other options can help control uric acid levels. The following steps may help reduce sugar cravings:

Eating more whole foods
Limiting packaged or processed foods
Eating fresh fruits to curb sugar cravings
Replacing sugary beverages with water or unsweetened drinks like tea and coffee.
6. Avoiding alcohol: Alcohol consumption contributes to dehydration and may also trigger elevated uric acid levels. Beer, in particular, contains high amounts of purine and is linked to affecting the rate of uric acid secretion. Limiting or completely avoiding alcohol may help reduce uric acid levels.

7. Drinking coffee: Coffee consumption has been shown to help break down purines faster while also increasing the body's efficiency in eliminating uric acid. Drinking coffee in moderation may help naturally control uric acid levels.

8. Vitamin C: Several studies have suggested that consuming vitamin C has a positive effect on reducing uric acid levels. Vitamin C can be obtained directly from supplements or from fruits and vegetables, which provide the best source of this nutrient.

9. Managing blood sugar level: People with hyperuricemia have an increased risk of developing diabetes. Both diabetes and gout share common risk factors such as obesity, high sugar consumption, and high cholesterol. Therefore, it is important to monitor blood sugar levels if a patient has hyperuricemia.

10. Managing stress: Recent studies have indicated a potential correlation between stress and high uric acid levels. Daily stress may lead to a higher concentration of uric acid. Therefore, effectively managing stress may help control uric acid levels.
