What You Can Do to Relieve Gout Pain

By Ron Horner

Gout is a very painful disease. If you are prone to this problem, here are a few therapies to contemplate putting into place to help you lower the risk of further painful outbreaks.

Vitamin C is an excellent treatment against gout. It helps your kidneys get rid of excessive uric acid. Another way vitamin C helps is by keeping purines from turning into uric acid in the first place.

Your body turns purines into uric acid. This is not normally an issue in most people, however, people with gout usually are not able to keep the crystals that uric acid can form in check. Because of this they can seep into your joints such as your toes, ankles, or wrists leading to terrible pain.

Most of the pain caused by gout is due to swelling. A good way to help reduce this swelling and therefore reduce pain is to add bromelain to your diet. This compound is known for it's ability to lower swelling. This excellent compound can be found in pineapples. You can also buy it as a supplement in most natural food stores.

When using as a supplement be sure to use only in accordance with the directions found on the bottle. If you are on blood thinners such as Coumadin or aspirin, seek professional medical consultation prior to using bromelain due to the fact that bromelain also has blood thinning properties.

Foods high in potassium such as avocados, baked potatoes with the skin, and bananas can really help you get rid of gout pain. Not only that, these foods are good for your overall health and can reduce your weight and give you extra ammunition in getting rid of painful gout not only in the short run, but also in the long run.

It is very important to stay hydrated, especially if you are prone to gout. When you are dehydrated, uric acid crystals can formulate much more easily. These crystals accumulate in your joints and cause painful swelling and damage. Over time, if you don't try to prevent this disease, the damage can be disabling. Drinking plenty of water helps prevent this situation and helps you lose weight, which is a major problem among most gout patients.

You do not have to totally eliminate gouty foods from your diet, but you should at least seriously reduce their intake. Avoiding such foods as hamburger, hot dogs, and bacon will reduce the excessive amounts of uric acid your body is producing. As an added benefit, decreasing the intake of these foods will also help you lose weight, which is a major factor in controlling this condition. - 17273

Your own organic garden

By Karol Wariala

Co-author: Sesame Dressing. An organic vegetable garden sounds ecological, rewarding, healthy but challenging. The process extends over several seasons, but when you finally get results you'll be able to enjoy homegrown veggies that are not only tasty but very healthy too. Organic gardening in fact makes the oldest form of plant cultivation, it is not at all expensive and it can be undertaken by any one preoccupied with developing a hobby or improving health.

The size of the organic vegetable garden is not important: in fact it can cover just a few square feet on the top of your house roof or several acres. The first difficulty one may encounter in the attempt to start the cultivation of the plants is the crisis of organic seeds.

The problem is that in order to have a real organic vegetable garden, you have to begin with seeds that are completely free of chemicals or irradiation residues. Therefore, if you can't find organic seeds in your neighborhood, try on the Internet.

One can think of many advantages to an organic vegetable garden. Firstly when there are no pesticides or herbicides included in the plant cultivation, the crops will not suffer because of the chemicals, the soil preserves its quality for several years and the creatures living in it will aid to the regeneration of the garden.

Furthermore, the organic vegetable garden has the advantage of dealing with the family needs in a very safe, cheap and easy way. In caseone also runs a farm together with the organic vegetable garden, there are even more benefits to it.

For instance, the profitability and the quality of the crops can be increased by using the manure as a fertilizer. All one needs for an organic vegetable garden should be available locally; the costs are definitely not high and the necessities come for very decent prices.

Don't ignore the tips available in gardening books because lots of the tradition is lost and we need to revive it. Consider the following example here: it's practical to grow beans and corn together; the beans climb up on the corn stocks and you won't need any sticks at all.

The seeds, the soil and the organic compost will all have a heavy word to say in the development of the organic vegetable garden. Do not neglect any of these aspects and your home production will be a success and a reward for all the work involved in the process. - 17273
