Think You’re Eating Healthy? These 5 Foods Are WORSENING Your Uric Acid. If you have gout, high uric acid, or joint pain, Eating “clean” won’t save you. Some of the so-called healthy foods you’re eating Are quietly making it worse! Uric acid isn’t just about avoiding red meat and alcohol. There are foods that look innocent even healthy. But they’re HIGH in purines or block your body's ability to eliminate uric acid. Let me break it down for you. 🚫 1. Organ meats (liver, kidney, heart). - I don’t care if it’s ‘ancestral nutrition’. These are purine bombs. Your joints will hate you later. 🚫 2. Alcohol. - especially beer. Not only does alcohol raise uric acid, It also blocks your kidneys from flushing it out. 🚫 3. Shellfish,sardines, anchovies High-purine seafood. Sounds fancy on your plate ends with pain in your toe. 🚫 4. Fruit juice & soda Fructose turns into uric acid in the liver. Worse than sugar. Worse than rice. 🚫 5. Oats, mushrooms, soy (in excess). These get promoted as healthy. But when you eat them daily in large amounts, They add to your purine load. SO WHAT’S THE FIX? If you’ve got high uric acid, You need to eat food that’s low in purines, flushes the kidneys, and supports liver detox. Take cucumber, celery, lemon water, bitter gourd, spirulina, and cherry extract. #drmarkleong #nutrition #farmzasia #kidneys #gout - @dr.markleong.official
