8 Natural Remedies To Help You Eliminate Uric Acid Crystals In Joints

Here are times when we were walking or climbing up the stairs, we suddenly feel pain on our joints kike we can’t bend it or straighten it because it will only hurt more. Mostly, old people are the ones who feel this kind of pain, which is only natural because our bones get weaker when we age. 

However these days, this pain isn’t only exclusive to the elderlies anymore, it can now be felt by different people of different ages. But why is that? Is this some kind of a pandemic affecting people worldwide? Well, sort off. But it’s not like any other sickness that we get because of our weak immune system or the likes, people experience this ailment because of the food they eat.

This condition that we will be discussing in this article is called “gout”. This is somewhat similar to arthritis, the only difference is that the former is caused by purines while latter often happens because of aging. Gout can bring the same sensation as to that of arthritis, you’ll feel pain in your joints and it will be difficult for you to walk or move the part of your body that is affected. As I said, it is caused by the purines which can break down into uric acid crystals. These crystal-like substances got stuck between two connecting bones or in the joint, and that causes the feeling of pain.

Purine is a substance that we all have in out body. We also need it in some of our body functions so it’s not entirely bad for us. However, too much purine can be bad news because that means more uric acid that can crystalized when broken down. Hence, it is only natural that we make sure to regulate it, but most people don’t know how. In fact, without even knowing it, most people tend to increase the purine in their body. How is that? Because as I already mentioned, purines can be increased because of the food we eat. Now, what are the foods that can make this happen?

First on our list is caffeine and alcohol. Aside from being bad for our health in the first place, these kind of drinks can boost the production of purine in our body. So instead of such beverages, try consuming juice made up of citrus fruits like orange, kiwi, and grape fruit if you are thirsty. Or better yet, just drink plenty of water. Doing so will surely rehydrate you, but do you know that it can flush out the purines? If you have lots of fluid, or in this case water, inside your body, the crystalized purines won’t have to be stuck or stored anywhere because it can be thrown out of the body through the process of urination.

Next we have processed food. This kind of food, including preserved ones, requires a huge amount of sodium or salt for them to last long and not to get spoiled. However, food isn’t the only one that it can make last long, but as well as your purines. Sodium has considerable amount of purines and also heightens our body’s own production of it. Additionally, salt is also harmful to the kidneys as it can also crystalize into kidney stones that can block the urinary tract. If there’s a problem in urination, then you also have problem in flushing out those purines.

Luckily, there are a variety of ways on how to remove those purines in our body aside from drinking a lot of water. There are still other natural remedies that you could try, and that’s what we will be discussing in this part of the article. Like for example, try eating a more healthy and balanced diet. Try to eat fresh fruits and vegetables everyday like watermelons and cucumbers. They can be a great alternative to water as they also contain juice that doesn’t have anything that may boost the production of purine. To name another and, try squeezing the juice of a fresh tomato, it will surely cure you gout. Moreover, we also have some recipes that could help you to cure the pain you feel in your joints.
