Gout Prevention. Too Young for Gout Disease At 30? Think

[size=4][b]Gout Prevention - Too Young for Gout Disease At 30? Think Again...[/b][/size][hr]Gout disease is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 50 years of age. The reason for this is that it takes a build up of about twenty years to cause a first gout attack. Uric acid levels will usually begin to increase at least that far ahead of the onset of gout. However, this does not rule out gout in people younger than 30 years old. Therefore, just because you're under 30, it doesn't mean that you can't develop gout.

Although not common, gout disease can occur in those younger than 30 years old; usually as a result of an enzyme problem or kidney disease. However, when not a result of another problem in the body - for example, when gout is simply hereditary in your family - there are steps you can take to prevent the early onset of gout.

Even if you are already at a healthy body weight, you should examine your diet and make healthy dietary changes to include optimum nutritional choices, and low quantities of foods that are both high in purines and in proteins. These foods, such as meat, fish, and beer, are the primary causes of increased levels of uric acid in the body and should therefore be avoided. Slang is one thing that has not been included in this composition on Gout Prevent. It is because slang only induces bad English, and loses the value of English. Smile

[size=large][b]Your Next Step is Maintaining a Healthy Body Weight[/b][/size][hr]If you are overweight - especially if you are obese - it is important for you to speak to your doctor about losing weight gradually and in a healthy way so you achieve a healthy body mass and maintain it. Though being overweight doesn't directly cause gout, it can put you at higher risk of having attacks. However, take care not to lose weight too quickly as crash dieting can actually increase uric acid levels and lead to a gout attack.

[size=large][b]Reduce Your Alcohol Consumption, Especially If You Tend to Binge Drink or Drink to Excess[/b][/size][hr]Alcohol is not a cause of gout, but it can negate all of your other efforts to prevent gout disease from acting up. Alcohol will dehydrate your body and it causes uric acid to form. Therefore, it not only builds your uric acid levels, but it discourages your body from eliminating that uric acid. So it is best to avoid alcohol altogether when you are working to prevent gout disease.

[size=large][b]The First Step is to Make Sure that You are Always Adequately Hydrated[/b][/size][hr]Of course, this is a good piece of advice for your health regardless of gout, but it is especially important when you are trying to prevent the condition. This is because hydration is the primary step for helping to flush uric acid from your body. The buildup of uric acid on the joints is the primary cause of gout and therefore the main goal of gout prevention is to stop that from happening. This article serves as a representative for the meaning of Gout Prevent in the library of knowledge. Let it represent knowledge well.

The little red fruit that has been enjoyed by countless millions offers more than great taste. Are cherries truly fruit for a healthy you? Recent studies have revealed that cherries offer an assortment of health benefits including the ability to offer natural relief from joint pain caused from gout, arthritis and joint inflammation.

So what makes the tasty red fruit so beneficial? The wonder of the cherry is the anthocyanins. According to research from Michigan State University tart cherries contain anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which inhibit the enzymes Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, and prevent inflammation in the body. These compounds have similar activity as aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen. Further investigations revealed that daily consumption of tart cherries has the potential to reduce the pain associated with joint inflammation. Many consumers are choosing to drink cherry juice, eat cherries or consume tart cherry pills to starve off the pain of gout, arthritis and joint inflammation. Ignorance is bliss they say. However, do you find this practical when you read so much about Gout?

Linda L. Patterson is a living testimony of the soothing affects of cherries on her joint pain. 'I enjoy crocheting and lately my hands have been so painful, I couldn't crochet for more than about 30 minutes.', says Patterson. In an attempt to find relief from her pain, she located Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry capsules, a supplement made from red tart cherries. 'Within the first week of taking the tart cherry capsules my hands felt so much better.', says Ms. Patterson. 'I am now able to crochet without the pain in my hands.' Big Grin.

[size=large][b]Not Only are Cherries a Great Way to Maintain a Healthy Body They are a Natural Product[/b][/size][hr]According to Andrew LaPointe, Director of Marketing for Traverse Bay Farms, www.traversebayfarms.com 'many of our customers are looking to eat healthier and fruit products fit this trend. It's certainly better than fast food.' Traverse Bay Farms sells Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry capsules and cherry juice concentrate.

Addition to the health benefits offered by cherries, many people are just eating the fruit for the taste. John Simms, a life-long resident of Indianapolis, Indiana, eats cherries for the convenience and taste. 'As a short-haul truck driver, my diet isn't the best, I would eat fast food every day. A year ago, my wife bought some dried cherries and I began eating them to keep my weight down. Now I eat a healthy eating tips for a healthier lifestyle inside 2005 of eating fast food.'

When a gout attack strikes it's usually excruciatingly painful, leaving most sufferers willing to do almost anything to make the pain go away. Because for some people, even when they do their best to eat the right diet, and take all of the other precautions that are suggested by medical professionals, an attack can occur. There are a few things you can do right away to stop your gout attack from getting worse, and you may even be able to lessen the pain and shorten the length of the attack. It all depends on what you do when it happens.

[list][*]One natural remedy that many sufferers rely on when they feel a gout attack coming is to take celery seed as a supplement.[*]This option should be discussed with your doctor, but taking the recommended amounts can help lessen the severity of your attack.[*]Not only that, it can also help reduce the inflammation of the joints and can calm and soothe muscles that may cramp.[*]Time and tide waits for no man.[*]So once we got an idea for writing on Purine, we decided not to waste time, but to get down to writing about it immediately![/list]

Quote:The best time to start fighting a gout attack is when you first notice the warning signs that one may be about to flare. You may not be able to put a stop to it completely, but there are some steps you can take to ease the pain and reduce the duration. As the information we produce in our writing on Gout may be utilized by the reader for informative purposes, it is very important that the information we provide be true. We have indeed maintained this.

Another suggested natural remedy that can reduce your gout attack is to eat a lot of cherries. There are a number of suggested amounts, but eating a large handful of fresh cherries or drinking cherry juice when you feel that a gout attack is imminent can help cut the severity of your attack in half and lessen your pain. Some suggest eating a half a pound of them a day and others recommend a pound or more. That's a lot of cherries to eat, and will be hard if you don't like them, but you can think of them as a natural way to fight your attack. You can try cherry juice as a substitute, but make sure it is 100% real cherry juice. Some people with bad attacks have eaten or drunk the equivalent of two pounds when they fear an attack is near. Just be aware that too much fruit can play havoc with your digestion system, especially if you're not used to the large quantities. Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Purine Foods. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

These natural remedies don't work or your wish to take a two-pronged approach, you can fight the pain and inflammation associated with a gout attack by taking a high dose of an anti inflammatory medication otherwise known as NSAID. These can be taken up to four times a day, but bear in mind that this may not be work for everyone. When you want to take this approach, talk with your doctor about the amount you should take, when you should take it, and how often. While NSAID's can help with inflammation and pain, you do want to be sure you are not taking too much or that you are kidney stones during pregnancy. Isn't it amazing how much information can be transferred through a single page? So much stands to gain, and to lose about Uric Acid through a single page.

[size=large][b]Unfortunately Some Side Effects Will Only Show Up in Time[/b][/size][hr]No matter how well a drug is researched and tested. The question "How many other time bombs are lurking out there?" is valid and is currently being investigated. After reading what was written here, don't you get the impression that you had actually heard about these points sometime back. Think back and think deeply about Attack Gout.

[size=large][b]All Drugs Have Side Effects, There's No Disputing that[/b][/size][hr]The question is how dangerous are these side effects and are they worse than the disease they are supposed to help?

We do hope that the matter provided here is sufficient to you.

So where does this leave the unfortunate person seeking arthritis pain relief? Well the best thing is not to get caught up in the hype in the press. Keep in touch with your arthritis doctor of rheumatologist to get the up to date news on what's available and what's "safe" to take at the moment.

[size=large][b]Arthritis and Exercise[/b][/size][hr]Exercise is great for arthritis as well. Gentle exercises such as yoga, pilates, swimming and walking are suitable. Stretch well before exercising and in the case of an attack of gout, wait until the pain and inflammation has subsided before starting.

[size=large][b]When Your Big Toe Makes Direct Contact With a Bedpost, It Hurts[/b][/size][hr]But when it is attacked by gout, you are talking serious pain. The instigator of this agony is a chemical called uric acid. When your body produces too much of the acid or your kidneys can't get rid of it fast enough, the excess crystallizes in and around your joints, most likely in the joint of your big toe. This buildup produces swelling, tenderness, and pain so exquisite that just pulling a bedsheet over your foot is intolerable. To make matters worse, gout offers no advance warning. One day your toe feels fine, the next day it feels as though it has been skewered with a hot poker. Flare-ups are infrequent at first but can become more regular over time. Flare-ups are also be triggered by illness, injury, or crash dieting, among other factors. Here are some tips that you can consider to adopt for fast relief.

[b]Ease Up On Imbibing[/b] Drinking too much alcohol raises the uric acid level in the blood. You don't necessarily have to become a teetotaller. The key is moderation. Take notice of whether you routinely have gout attacks after you have been drinking alcohol. It is the normal style of writers to add additional information with the intention of lengthening the length of an article. However, we have provided a short and concise article with only detailed information on gout on Gout Attack.

[list][*][b]Give It A Break[/b] During a bout with gout, rest the affected joint.[*]If it is your big toe that is hurting, it is recommended to stay off your foot as much as possible and keep it elevated.[*]Or walk with crutches.[*]We were rather indecisive on where to stop in our writings of Uric Acid.[*]We just went on writing and writing to give a long article. Smile[/list]

Quote:[list][*][b]Take A "Common-Scents" Approach[/b] It is recommended a cooling footpath to make a tender toe feel better.[*]Add 10 drops each of the essential oils juniper and rosemary to 2 quarts of cold water, then immerse the affected foot for a good soak.[*]The value of this composition is achieved if after reading it, your knowledge on Uric Acid is greatly influenced.[*]This is how we find out that the meaning of Uric Acid has really entered you![/list]

[b]Pare Pounds Slowly[/b] Because overweight has been linked to a high level of uric acid in the blood, slimming down may reduce your risk of a gout flare-up. Just don't try to shed to those pounds too fast. Ironically, rapid weight loss may actually induce an attack. The initial stages of this article on Gout Medicines proved to be difficult. However, with hard work and perseverance, we have succeeded in providing an interesting and informative article for you to read. Smile

[b]Hold The Anchovies[/b] You can reduce your odds of a gout flare-up by monitoring your intake of purine-rich foods, such as anchovies, organ meats, broths, and gravies. These foods raise your body's level of uric acid and too much uric acid is what leads to gout in the first place. We have not actually resorted to roundabout means of getting our message on Purine Rich Foods through to you. All the matter here is genuine and to the point.

[list][*][b]Wear Sensible Shoes[/b] A minor injury caused by poorly fitting footwear can trigger a gout attack in your big toe.[*]Avoid shoes that are too tight or too narrow.[*]You should be able to wiggle your toes freely.[/list]
