Jakarta –
Gout is a disease that is certainly not foreign to the ears of the Indonesian people. Gout is a common but complex form of arthritis and can affect anyone.
Usually this gout occurs with attacks of pain that are very sudden. In addition, uric acid can usually cause swelling, redness, or pain in one or more joints. Most often gout occurs in the big toe.
What causes gout to occur? Quoted from cdc.gov, uric acid can occur due to a condition called hyperuricemia.
Hyperuricemia is a condition in which there is too much uric acid in the body. The emergence of uric acid occurs when the body breaks down purines that are naturally present in the body or from the food consumed. So the more purines in the body, the greater the risk of experiencing gout.
To avoid gout, of course you have to avoid foods that are high in purines. However, it turns out that purines are also found in vegetables that are known to be healthy.
