Gout is the result of an accumulation of sharp urate crystals in your joint as a result of high levels of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is produced by your body to break down the substances called purines, which are naturally found in your body. Uric acid normally dissolves in your blood, passes through the kidney, and into your urine. But sometimes it can build up when your body produces too much uric acid or too little is excreted by your kidney, causing joint pains and swelling. There is no cure for gout. But you can treat and manage your condition by consuming the best food for gout.
