When the amount of uric acid in the body increases, it can cause serious problems like arthritis, joint pain, swelling and kidney stones. Often
people resort to medicines, but taking medicines for a long time can also have side effects on the body. In such a situation, taking help from
ayurveda and
home remedies can be a better option. On this issue, Dr. Hansaji says, “By making small changes in
lifestyle and diet, we can control uric acid in a natural way.
Drink more water
The easiest and safest way to remove uric acid from the body is to drink more water. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water throughout the day flushes the kidneys and removes the toxins accumulated in the body. Especially drinking lukewarm water as soon as you wake up in the morning is considered very beneficial.
Goddess and cucumber juice
Patients of high uric acid should definitely include gourd and cucumber juice. It cools the body and helps in balancing the uric acid level. Apart from this, this juice also strengthens the digestive power.
Consume cherries and berries
Research shows that
fruits like cherries and berries contain
antioxidants that help in controlling uric acid. These
fruits prove to be helpful in dissolving the crystals deposited in the body and reducing the inflammation of the joints.
Triphala and Amla Consumption
In
ayurveda, Triphala and Amla are considered very effective for purifying blood and removing toxins from the body. Taking Triphala powder with lukewarm water every morning or drinking Amla juice helps in reducing uric acid levels.
Change in diet
If you want to control uric acid, then it is important to stay away from
red meat, pulses, kidney beans, chickpeas and oily food. Also, consumption of sweet beverages and alcohol with high fructose also works to increase uric acid.
Importance of
yoga and pranayama
Yogasana and pranayama also improve the body's metabolism and reduce the problem of uric acid. Doing Bhujangasana, Pawanmuktasana and Kapalabhati daily increases digestion and kidney efficiency.
