Gout: Home remedies to lower uric acid levels

DNA WEB DESK

Uric acid is a waste product that's created when your body breaks down chemicals called purines in food and drinks.

Apple cider vinegar: Mix a tablespoon of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and drink it daily.

 Coffee: Drinking coffee can help you in managing symptoms of high uric acid. 

Green Tea: Studies report that green tea moderately lowers uric acid levels in the blood. 

A cup of herbal tea such as chamomile, lavender, green, and hibiscus not only helps your body to intake more fluid but also helps in managing gout problems. 

Skimmed milk or low-fat milk: Studies show that drinking low-fat milk and eating low-fat dairy can reduce your uric acid levels and risk of a gout attack. 

Water: Maintaining adequate water intake is essential for managing uric acid levels in the body. 

Tart cherry juice: Studies found that tart cherry juice significantly lowered uric acid and led to less severe disease and fewer reported gout flares.
