Gout is a condition that can resemble arthritis<\/a> because inflammation occurs throughout the body, affecting the health of the joints<\/a> and kidneys. When there\u2019s an excess of uric acid in the body it can create kidney stones<\/a>, deposits of uric acid that cause the skin to lump (tophi), or deposits in the joints. When uric acid levels are high, gout can occur. If the condition<\/a> progresses, one can experience a gout attack or acute gout, which is usually a burning sensation in the big toe, the most commonly affected body part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Symptoms of gout usually occur suddenly and during the night. Gout symptoms often come without warning and in the form of a swollen big toe or lower body joint. Symptoms such as the swollen big toe are the end result of a problem that has been occurring in the body for a while. Other symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because gout can be caused by poor dietary choices, it’s best to eliminate soda, sugar, salt, alcohol, junk foods, processed foods, meat, dairy products<\/a>, and genetically engineered foods from your diet. Two sodas<\/a>, caffeinated or not, per day can increase your chance of getting gout by 85%. Stick to a plant-based<\/a>\u00a0or raw foods diet<\/a>\u00a0to get the purest nutrients from fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts and seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple cider vinegar<\/a>\u00a0has a natural alkalizing effect on the body. To use this natural remedy, mix 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in 8oz. of distilled water and drink once a day<\/a>. This should help decrease the pain by about 90% after two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to stay hydrated<\/a>, as dehydration is one of the causes of gout. A good rule of thumb is to drink half you body weight in ounces of water per day. If you weigh 150lbs, then you should drink 75oz of water each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Baking soda<\/a>\u00a0can help lower the amount of uric acid in the body. If you consume 1\/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 8oz of water once or twice a day, it should help to reduce the pain of your gout symptoms. You may need to mix up to 3 teaspoons of baking soda in your water if your symptoms persist. When you feel the pain decreasing you can reduce the amount of baking soda you mix in with the water. Like any herbal remedy<\/a>, be cautious because high amounts of baking soda can lead to high blood pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gout can get in the way of daily tasks, but it is something you can manage by treating your body right.
