Why does uric acid rise even when you eat healthy?
You try hard – you avoid fat, you don’t drink soda, you watch what you eat.
But the joints still hurt.
Why? Because it’s not all about food. Here are a few important factors:
• You drink too little water. The body cannot flush out uric acid without enough fluids. If it doesn’t get enough, it stays in the blood and gets deposited in the joints.
• Your kidneys may be working less well. As you age, their ability to clean the blood decreases, especially if they are already “tired” from medications, stress, high blood pressure, etc.
• Move a little . A sedentary lifestyle impairs blood circulation. This reduces the flow of nutrients to the joints and facilitates the accumulation of acid.
• After 50 years of age, the body has more difficulty excreting urates . Especially in women after menopause, when the hormonal balance changes and no longer protects tissues as well as before.
➡️Conclusion: Diet is only part of the solution. A more comprehensive approach is needed.
