Foods to Avoid That Causes Gout

Gout is a form of arthritis that mainly affects the big toes of middle aged men but it sometimes can affect women and can spread around the body to other joints such as the elbow, knee and fingers to name just a few. It can leave sufferers of this affliction in agonizing pain and immobilize them for the duration of the attack. If you have a flare up your affected area will swell up slightly and have a somewhat shiny appearance. In the next chapter we will touch on foods to avoid that causes gout

There are a lot of foods that you should avoid if you want to stay clear of gout. Below I have compiled a short list of the foods to avoid that causes gout

Seafoods
Red Meat
Gravy
Alcohol
Mushrooms
Yeast
Beans

The main food culprits are seafood and red meat when it comes to gout attacks. Many people that undertake the famous fad diet "The Atkins Diet" will start to get gout attacks as this diet consists of crazy amounts of meat and seafood.

If you have already contracted gout then the best thing to do is undertake a low purine diet. That means a diet that is low in the foods that we have previously mentioned. Another way to prevent or even cure gout is to have a daily intake of 1000mg of Vitamin C.

A study was undertaken in 2009 when people with a daily intake of 1500mg of vitamin C were trailed verses people with a daily intake of just 200mg of vitamin C. The study showed that the people with the higher intake of vitamin C were 40% less likely to have a gout attack than those taking just 200mg of vitamin c daily.
