3. Limit Purine-Rich Foods to Prevent Buildup
Purines are compounds found in certain foods that break down into uric acid in the body. Limiting purine-rich foods can prevent excess uric acid buildup.
Foods to Avoid: Red meat, organ meats (liver, kidneys), shellfish (shrimp, crab), sardines, and alcohol (especially beer).
Alternatives: Lean proteins like chicken, turkey, eggs, and plant-based proteins like tofu and legumes.
4. Drink Lemon Water for Alkalization
Lemon juice helps alkalize the body and neutralize uric acid, making it easier for your kidneys to filter and eliminate it. The vitamin C in lemons also helps reduce uric acid levels.
