Fish Isn't Food That Causes Gout

Does food that causes gout include fish?
Many people think that fish, as a high purine food, might cause gout.
It's much more important to look at your whole diet.
Include fish in the right proportions, and you'll be in the swim.

This table covers Finfish and Shellfish Products. Like most meat food groups, all these foods tend to make the body acidic. That does not make them bad - they just need to be balanced with alkaline foods from other groups.

Don't look at the table and think that all fish is food that causes gout. Think about a type of fish that you enjoy eating. Then select alkalizing foods from other tables to produce balanced meals. Make sure your meal is alkaline overall.

As with all food, the secret is not to overeat, especially not with one particular food. Keep fish portions small, and balance them with vegetables. You'll soon scale new heights on a diet with no food that causes gout.

Before selecting from this table, please make sure understand the PRAL food table introduction.
