Uric Acid Alert: Avoid These 7 Foods to Prevent Joint Pain and Gout

• Purine-rich foods produce uric acid; kidneys normally excrete it, but excess can lead to gout and kidney stones.
• Diet is a primary cause of high uric acid; changing eating habits is crucial.
• Avoid high-purine seafood like anchovies, sardines, mackerel; opt for salmon or cod.
• Limit red meat due to high purine content; choose chicken or plant-based proteins.
• Steer clear of alcohol, especially beer, and sugary drinks like sodas and packaged juices, as they elevate uric acid.
