Good Food For Gout
We're all searching for good food for gout, but do you know where to look? Don't get too hung up on purines, look instead for well balanced meals.In an ideal world, ready made meals would be the best option. After all, if food companies have access to professional nutritionists, then their meals ought to be the healthiest around. The USDA database holds a very small selection of ready-made meals, and I've included them here, though they are more useful as an aid to understanding pH balance than as a practical selection of good food for gout. You can see how meat based meals become much less acid forming, and even slightly alkalizing by the addition of vegetables and the like. What you cannot see is additives like excess salt, fructose and others that can lower your general health and thus worsen your gout. If, for convenience, you need to use ready meals, then the best advice I can give is to supplement them with some fresh fruit, vegetables or other fresh alkalizing foods.
