Is Avocado Part of a Healthy Diet for Gout?
21 May, 2021
Gout is an inflammatory arthritis condition that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness of a joint. It usually occurs in one joint at a time and most often affects your big toe, although it can also occur in your wrists, knees, and ankles.
Gout can develop due to high levels of uric acid in your bloodstream, known as hyperuricemia.
Your body creates uric acid when it breaks down purines (chemical compounds). It produces these naturally but also gets them from certain foods.
