Almost 90% of gout victims are men over thirty years old.a Butwomen can also suffer from gout, especially if they take certainmedications such as blood pressure drugs. Most women who suffer fromgout are 60 years or older. Gout is a form of arthritis causedby high levels of uric acid in the blood, tissues, and urine. The uricacid can form crystals which collect in joints such as the big toe. Infact, your big toe can become so painful and swollen that even theweight of a bedsheet can be agonizing. If gout isn't properlycontrolled, it can cause kidney stones and even more serious kidneydisease. Gout is also associated with high blood pressure, diabetes,and atherosclerosis. You should always consult a doctor fortreatment of gout. But some of the drugs used for gout - such asallopurinol, colchicine, indomethacin, and prednisone - can causeserious side effects. So you may want to discuss with yourdoctor if an alternative approach might work for you. An approachwithout the toxic side effects of gout drugs. One dietaryapproach is simply to eat cherries. In the 1950s, Dr. Ludwig Blaudiscovered that he could keep his gout away by eating a minimum of 6cherries a day. It helped his crippling gout so much that he wasactually able to get out of his wheelchair and start walking again. Hediscovered his "cherry cure" by accident. One day, he ate a large bowlof cherries and the next day, his foot pain was gone. He found that aslong as he ate the cherries every day, his gout was controlled. Many other people - some of whom have written to Prevention magazine - have also found relief by adding cherries to their diets. Supposedly,if you already have crippling gout or if you feel a gout attack comingon, you should eat 15 to 30 cherries a day at first to get your goutunder control, then 6 to 10 cherries a day after that to keep the goutaway. Red and black cherries - fresh, frozen or canned - havebeen used successfully to treat gout. Drinking several tablespoons ofblack cherry juice daily may produce the same effect. It's best to eat the cherries or drink the cherry juice between meals. So why do cherries work for some people with gout? Becausegout destroys the collagen that is needed to form connective tissue andcherries stop that destruction. Cherries also neutralize uric acid andhave anti-inflammatory properties. There are other changes you can make to your diet, too. For example, eating a cup of strawberries may help to control gout. Youshould also drink plenty of water to help flush the uric acid out ofyour body. Six to eight 8-ounce glasses a day is probably best. Losingexcess weight may also reduce uric acid levels, but it must be donegradually and under a doctor's supervision. Severe dieting or fastingcan actually make your gout worse. Many people also try toeliminate foods with high purine levels from their diets. Some of thesefoods may worsen gout by increasing your level of uric acid. Some high-purine foods are meats, especially organ meats, gravies, herring, mussels, sardines, fish, and alcohol. Atleast one study suggests that high-purine foods such as beans, peas,mushrooms, spinach and cauliflower do not make gout worse. But youshould consult your doctor for the latest information andrecommendations. Important Disclaimer: This information ispresented for educational purposes only.
