Only 20 % of high uric acid is caused by foods. Another 80 % is caused by the cells.

 

When you eat meat, every cell of the meat has purine body. Purine body is a part of DNA. The liver transforms purine body into uric acid. But this is only 20 % of the method to produce uric acid. Another 80 % is produced even if you don't do anything else. The 80 % of uric acid is produced by the metabolism of the body when the old cells are transformed into the new cells because the cells of our body has also purine body.

 

Does exercise decrease uric acid? Intense exercise like weight training increases uric acid temporally because it breaks down and reproduces the muscles.  [this may be why i felt the pressure/buzz and heaviness wrap around my midstep come on as i got off bicycle.  class when it was my R foot mysterious 'sprain' on ankle]

 

90 % of high uric acid is caused by the problem of discharge of uric acid!

 

Uric acid increased by meals is just a little part. The major cause of high uric acid is inability of discharge of uric acid.

 

What do you need to take to increase the discharge of uric acid?

 

That is milk. In an experiment, the discharge of uric acid increased by 37 % after drinking a glass of milk. Casein contained in milk is decomposed in the stomach and intestines and is transformed into alanine which helps the kidney discharge uric acid.

 

How much milk should you drink?

 

According to a research of 41750 people for 12 years, the occurrence of gout of people who drank a glass of milk or low fat milk per day was lower by 43 %. The effect of discharge of uric acid is higher when you drink low fat milk. You can take yogurt for the same purpose. Soy milk doesn't have casein so it is not effective.

 

Drinking a lot of water is effective to prevent dehydration and urinary stones, but it doesn't decrease uric acid.
