Uric Acid & Pulses: Debunking the Myth - The Truth About Your Diet
- •Many avoid pulses due to uric acid concerns, fearing joint pain and gout.
- •Uric acid is naturally produced from purine digestion; excess accumulates as crystals in joints.
- •Nutritionists advise against completely avoiding pulses, as they are vital for protein, fiber, and vitamins.
- •Moderate consumption of toor dal, moong dal, and urad dal is generally fine; reduce high-purine foods like soybeans.
- •Soaking pulses, discarding water, drinking plenty of water, and including water-rich vegetables help manage uric acid.
