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.
