You may have heard people mention they suffer from ‘Gout.’ Gout is a condition marked by abnormal metabolism of uric acid, leading to excessive amounts of uric acid in the tissues and blood.
Uric acid is a byproduct of the metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides. High levels of uric acid in the bloodstream can result in gout. It is also linked to other health issues, such as kidney stones and diabetes.
Normal uric acid levels range between 3.5 and 7.2 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL).
Here are seven tips to help reduce uric acid levels:
- Increase Water Intake – Staying hydrated is key to flushing out uric acid. When your body is well-hydrated, uric acid crystals are less likely to form. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily to help eliminate uric acid from your system. You can also include buttermilk, coconut water, lemon water, and green tea to boost your overall fluid intake.
- Reduce Purine-Rich Foods – Uric acid is formed by the breakdown of purines, a type of protein. While purines are naturally produced by the body, they are also found in foods like red meat, mushrooms, baked goods containing yeast, and fermented products. Opt for foods like lentils, split dals, milk, and egg whites to maintain healthy protein intake.
- Eat High Fiber Food – Fiber helps absorb uric acid in the bloodstream, allowing it to be easily eliminated through the kidneys. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and whole grain products, which should be chosen over refined products.
- Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol – Caffeine (found in coffee, tea, and certain soft drinks) and alcohol hinder the excretion of uric acid by binding to it. Reducing your intake of these can improve uric acid removal from your system.
- Consume Vitamin C-Rich Foods – Vitamin C aids in the excretion of uric acid. Citrus fruits, bell peppers, cabbage, amla (Indian gooseberry), and guava are excellent sources of Vitamin C and can help lower uric acid levels.
- Limit Sugar Intake – Excess sugar can interfere with the excretion of uric acid. Studies have shown that drinking 300 ml of sweetened beverages daily can increase the risk of gout by 13%.
- Try Apple Cider Vinegar – Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which turns alkaline in the body, helping to dissolve uric acid crystals and preventing them from recurring. It also reduces joint inflammation and swelling, improving joint flexibility.
Reducing uric acid levels is crucial for managing gout and preventing associated health issues like kidney stones and diabetes. By making these simple lifestyle adjustments, you can lower your uric acid naturally and maintain better overall health. Do try these tips and share your thoughts in the comments below!

Hey Hardika,
What an useful blog post! But i have some additions to your points of view.
1. Coffee is good for Gout disease. Trust me. Many documents showed that coffee can prevent us from suffering Gout.
2. Don’t eat viscera because this food increase purin very much. Many people in Asian countries love this food. But it makes your uric acid level increase highly.
Best wishes from Lien,

Hello mam u give domestic aid for my mother because uric acid level is 6.2 miligram so these days my mom is very suffer from this problem she is struggling in walking bhind pain is joint
raul says
prashant do what i am doing … i have gout on my toe but its started on all my toes and both my main thumbs on my hands
then i started the following:
– every morning for atleast one week, i take icy cold water , mix half a lemon or lime in it, add sodium bicarbonate or baking soda in it , and the first thing in the morning you must do is drink this . if you want to drink plain water first then thats cool. but no food until you have this. this will make your system alkaline and the joint pains in most joints will disappear … although the toe one may stay because thats the one thats been affected the most and is probably damaged .
– once this is done, find gluten free food alternatives. do not eat bread or yeast products that contain gluten … gout and diabetes have some common foods that create them. so cut out sugar too.
– whenever you feel like eating sugar, eat watermelon, pineapple, pomegranate , coconut, coconut water, aloe vera natural juice, strawberries, cherries, plums, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, broccoli , cabbage, eggs. these are all good foods and you wont see your gout getting activated.
– please stay away from mushrooms, prawns, asparagus, shrimp, sea food that has shells like crabs oyster mussels etc.
instead of rice or chapati try quinoa and chia chapatis… and believe me your gout will reduce drastically very soon . about a week and you will notice the difference
but yes, if you are having sodium bicarbonate or baking soda, that means you are getting a lot of sodium.. completely cut out salt from all other foods.. do not have salt in any other food..
i know this is tough .. but gradually you start liking saltless food.. and if you want a healthy life then its something you will have to do without a choice.. unless you want to be bedridden when gout becomes too bad…. and you will become a burden on your family
Christian says

Avoid wheat. Wheat bran and wheat germ contains purine. Avoid high protein diet. Eat rice. Eat white bread instead of whole wheat bread.
Asif says
Sir my uric acid 8.7 two much high how to used daily drink eating but two much pain thanks
Jack says
I totally agree with hydration, when I don’t drink enough water, I can feel my gout coming on. I know chemically and biologically it doesn’t make sense, but a lot of people claim that baking soda and water help them out a lot. Any thoughts on that?
In terms of hydration, I’ve personally found that coconut water has been the absolute best help for keeping my gout under control. As a matter of fact, I even took the opportunity to review the coconut waters.

Janette Young says
Hi Hardika, Thank you so much for this valuable information. On the Saturday morning of Mother’s Day Weekend i woke up with my left foot swollen and in excruciating pain. I couldn’t walk without support. I had to finally go to the ER on Mother’s Day. They were not able to determine what was wrong, but when i went to the Rheumatologist she determined that my Uric Acid Levels were high and i had Gout. So, now the journey begins. And, my case is difficult because due to the use of the Purple Pill my Kidney Function had bern reduced to 40% so that is why suddenly the Uric Acid build up. I have been given a prescription for 100mg of Allopurinal which is not helping. Others have told me their scripts are 300mg. But my doctor has to take it slowly because of my Kidneys and constantly watch the levels of the U.A. I was told that BlackCherry Juice will rid you of the U.A. You have given so many suggestions thst i am excited about trying. I don’t drink, or eat a lor of baked goods or eat a lot of red meat. I am overweight and i do take HCTZ with my Blood Pressure medicine to help keep it under control. But Coconut Water, Lemon Water, Apple Cider Vinegar and Vitamin C are natural and simple things to try. Thanks again for your compassion for the Gout Patient. This hurts worse than having a baby. Thank you. Janette Young

It is obviously fatuous that those who are suffering from such sever diseases like gout do not quit drinking alcohol and foods that contains sugar a lot.These also become the reason of gout. We must take a prescribed diet.

I have high Uric acid levels and had 3 kidney stone surgeries in January of this year. I’m on a low carb diet and I’m limiting my meat intake. 2 questions: 1) how much meat should I eat each week and 2) ever so often my ankle swells up and lasts for about 2 weeks. It is extremely painful to walk during that period. Would you consider that gout? The podiatrist once said it could be Achilles tendinitis, but I have my doubts.

Constantinos says
I have been suffering from high uric acid for about 30 years (I am 70 years old now) and indeed I have applied the measures by Hardika successfully to reduce it. Only for a period of about one year had I taken medication, but probably I will do so now again. My feeling (I am not doctor) is that uric acid goes up and down depending on body conditions not quite clear to us. E.g. when I was fatter and had high triglycerides, uric acid got high and often suffered from small kidney stones. I managed to reduce it mainly by drinking a lot of water, but triglycerides remained high. Now I managed to get thinner, triglycerides are normal but uric acid is high. This is probably due to my high blood pressure medication that is diuretic. Several doctors here (Greece) say “take medication, if you cannot reduce it by diet and exercise”
May I propose another measure to reduce uric acid and kidney uric stones? For 4 consecutive days, early in the morning (before any food) we drink one big teaspoonful (15 ml) of fresh lemon juice (I drink more than that) together with water. Of course without sugar or anything else in the drink. This is written in the book “100 herbres, 1000 remedies” by Constantine Bazeos (1985), a journilist specialized in healthy nutrition. However he pointed out that we have to interrupt this procedure for a week before repeating it, it is not healthy to apply it every day. And probably some of us cannot tolerate lemon juice+water even for one day. I understand that lemon juice makes blood alkaline, thus increasing solubility of crystals of uric acid, rejected with urine.

Recently I checked my blood, unfortunately my Uric Acid was 10mg/dl. I’ve started diet and taking of your mentioned food and taking of more Water,Lemon, Apple and Low Purine Foods.Gout and any other Arthritis problem but I started for being in Safe side.
Meanwhile every day I’m walking anddoing exercise for one hour. I’m around 64yrs old doctor and I’m under medication and taking Q-LYCO one Capsule, Cap Ecosprine-150mg, Amlodpin and one tab Folvit every day.
I think there is studies that by regular taking of Multi vitamine/Menrals and Aspirin the level of Uric Acid will go high in Blood and I’m continuously taking more than 5 years.
It would be great if you respond me for decreasing of my Blood Uric Acid.
Looking forward to hear your comments and suggestion.
Your guides and help would be highly appreciated.
With best regards
Dr.Asmatullah Arab

This sounds really whacky, but I have treated my gout by just taking a few slives of Garlic and attaching them to the joint affected. It’s smelly but work really well to reduce swelling and pain. Be careful t remove after 12 hours and have a break otherwise the skin can get damaged.

I 69 years old male. My uric acid level is 7.8 and and my sugar level post breakfast is 163. I have severe pain in my right knee. I will strictly follow your diet plan. My doctor prescribed me two Tablets Zyloric of 100 mg for a month.
Between 4 and 5.30 am I do pranayam, light yoga and leg exercise daily for the last 15 years. I used to walk atleast 4 KMs in between 5.30 6.15 am, but after the knee pain I walk limping for 30 minutes. And yet this uric acid increase is just a year old. Early morning I drink one fresh lemon juice with warm water daily. After a gap of 30 minutes I also take Avala and geogry Leha prepared at home. I do not take any type of non-vege food, including eggs. I do not take alcohol. At night 30 minutes before going to bed I drink hot milk with. home grown Haldi powder.
Please let me know if my life style is conducive to good health. And what more I need to do to reduce uric acid level and the knee pain.

You have said Normal results are between 3.5 and 7.2 milligrams of uric acid per deciliter of blood (mg/dL), but in labs they suggest the range must be between 4 to 6 (mg/dL). Which one is correct..?

Hi Hardika
Thanks for your blog. I have uric acid problem since 2013. Also changed my food habits, lifestyles, also joined gym. But last 4 months back I joined cross fit gym which helped me reduce 8kgs weight. But after that I started muscle gain program and someone told me to have black coffee before 45mins of workout which helps in strength. And all of suddenly after one week my wrist joints pain has started and suffering. After your detailed blog I think I should now stop coffee which has increased my uricacid now a days.
Thanks again

Andy says
Concentrated sour cherry juice also helps significantly, I can highly recommend it. I buy Montmerency cherry juice, it must be sour, regular cherry juice doesn’t work. It tastes awful but still worthwhile
Oren says
I’m a renal transplant patient, and have high uric acid and gout flare ups. I want to know if taking Celery seed. Or Cherry extract will affect my kidney or my anti rejection meds ?. They seem to be my best defense…if I can take them safely.
Thanks

Very helpful. The Apple cider vinegar seems to be working. Halving my coffee intake and increasing hydration has helped me feel better overall.
Karan says
Could you please elaborate on how to consume the apple cider vinegar.

A cup coffee is is good for a day ? People who have gout?
Please urgent answer.
Srinivasa Murthy says
Nice article thanks for posting, however I have read that coffee reduces uric acid. I am having high uric acid and I have increased my black coffee intake. What I read here is contradictory, please advise.

This is a great blog and great information.
Dr Elix says
Wow, this is a good discussion. I’ve never seen it in any literature, but I’ve always thought that gout was also related to weight issues. The people I personally know that have gout are also overweight. That would be great to know. Perhaps it’s just an overdue diet that is preventing me from getting rid of the pain
