Uric acid is a natural waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are found in certain foods and are also produced naturally in the body. Under normal conditions, uric acid is filtered by the kidneys and excreted through urine.
When the body produces too much uric acid or the kidneys are unable to eliminate it efficiently, levels rise in the blood. Persistently high uric acid can lead to joint pain, gout, kidney stones, and is often linked with poor metabolic health.
Uric acid levels tend to increase with frequent intake of high-purine foods, excessive consumption of sugar—especially fructose from sweetened drinks and packaged foods—alcohol intake, poor hydration, and underlying insulin resistance.
Watch the video to understand three simple diet changes that can help bring uric acid levels down in a sustainable way.
