Beneficial Fruits and Vegetables

  1. Fruits:
    • Cherries: Known for their potential to lower uric acid levels and reduce the frequency of gout attacks due to their anti-inflammatory properties.
    • Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries contain antioxidants and have a low purine content.
    • Citrus Fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, and lemons are rich in vitamin C, which may help lower uric acid levels.
    • Apples: Contain fiber and vitamin C, and their low purine content makes them a safe choice.
    • Bananas: High in potassium and low in purines, bananas can help manage uric acid levels.
  2. Vegetables:

  • Variety: Incorporate a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients.
  • Daily Servings: Aim for at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day to maximize health benefits.
  • Hydration: Consuming fruits with high water content, like watermelon, can help with hydration and uric acid management.
