Issue 10.5.18 GOUT: Causes - Symptoms - Natural Solutions

 

FACT: Gout plagues more and more people daily – it’s a type of arthritis which leads to joint inflammation. It can cause slight swelling and stiffness or, in some cases, leads to severe pain and intense swelling that develops and manifests in just a few hours. The major reason for the occurrence of gout is a uric acid overload, which causes hard crystals to form in your joints.

The uric acid formed is through a process called decomposing prunes – chemicals that our bodies naturally process and can be found in different varieties of foods. If a person’s diet contains a high number of purines it will then raise the amount of uric levels in the body and can develop gout.
