🚫🍖🍺 Gout-Friendly Eating Tips! 🚫🍬🐟

Did you know that your diet plays a crucial role in managing gout? Here's how it works: Certain foods high in purines can trigger gout attacks by increasing uric acid levels in your body. To keep gout at bay, consider limiting or avoiding these items:

Organ Meats: Liver and other organ meats are purine-packed and best left off your plate if you have gout.

Meat: While you don't have to give up meat entirely, cutting back on red meat, pork, chicken, and processed meats can help manage gout.

Seafood: Fatty fish like tuna and salmon should be consumed in moderation, as they contain purines. Talk to your doctor about how often you can enjoy them.

Watch Out for These Fish: Mackerel, sardines, mussels, anchovies, cod, scallops, trout - these can also be purine-rich.

Sugary Delights: Diets high in sugar, including sugary beverages like soda and juice, can increase your gout risk.

Alcohol Caution: Beer, hard liquor, and grain alcohol can contribute to gout attacks. Consider occasional wine, but always consult your doctor.

Managing gout is all about making smart choices in your diet and lifestyle. If you're dealing with gout, our experts at Great Lakes Foot and Ankle Institute can help you find the best approach to manage your symptoms and reduce future risks. Schedule an appointment today to learn more! 🦶👩‍⚕️
