Our body converts proteins in our food called “purines” into uric acid.
Avoiding foods with high purine concentrations can help to avoid overproduction of uric acid. However ‘gout diets’ are often unrealistic.
It is the job of our kidneys to remove excess uric acid through urination.
If uric acid is building up in your body, it’s likely because your kidneys are overworked and undernourished.
