High levels of uric acid are not good for your health . Did you know that, in part, the increase is caused by what you eat? Sure, as with many diseases or conditions.
You may not be aware of foods that increase uric acid. Meet them below and try to avoid them.

To begin with, what is uric acid? And the drop?

Until some time ago it was said that the drop was a “disease of kings” because it was caused by the supposed “good life”. But this is not true. This condition is caused by increased uric acid in the blood and can lead to problems in the joints and subsequently, arthritis. That is why it is very important to take care of her.
Uric acid is a poorly soluble chemical in water . Therefore, it is complicated to remove from the body.

Say no to purines

What are purines? A component included in some foods that, among other consequences, increases uric acid levels in the body. But they are also in the blood, because they are part of our DNA and are responsible, for example, of genetic inheritance. Purines can come from:

• The food we eat.
• The destruction of the cells (the purines are in the interior).
• The production by the body, using other substances such as amino acids.
