How to quickly remove uric acid crystals from your body to prevent gout and joint pain
How To Reduce Uric Acid

Changes to dietary intake should be a lifestyle change implemented and followed for life. Proper dietary intake generally consists of a variety of fresh colorful fruits and vegetables; lean meat and seafood, and whole, unprocessed, unenriched grains.

- The reduction of processed sugars such as high fructose corn syrup, food high in saturated fats, and alcohol are healthy practices for everyone.
- The body should be kept hydrated with a combination of water, natural juices without any added sugar, fruit infused water, and herbal teas sweetened with honey.
- Stress should be reduced when and wherever possible through means which are easily obtainable. A hike in the mountains, or any form of natural landscape, provides physical activity and a wonderful environment to meditate in.
- Water, as mentioned, keeps the body hydrated and assists in flushing the body ridding it of toxins including overloads of uric acid.

- Lemon water is delicious, increases the alkalinity of the body, and prevents uric acid crystal formation. Squeeze half of a lemon into 8 ounces of warm or tepid water to drink every morning prior to breakfast.
- Add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to 8 ounces of water to drink prior to lunch and supper every day. Apple cider vinegar also increases body alkalinity. Systems which are slightly more alkaline than acidic prevent gout and numerous other negative health conditions.
