The prevention of gout attacks lies in diet. There are a number of foods that can trigger a gout attack. Recent studies have found that many of the vegetables we believe cause gout attacks in fact can decrease the risk. These foods include beans, peas, and leafy greens. Here are 10 common trigger foods for gout.
People can also treat this condition by making small changes in their diet. Foods that are very high in purines can trigger an attack. Processed meats, such as salami, bacon and pepperoni, are some of the gout foods to avoid. Not only do these foods trigger gout, but they are also bad for your overall health. People also want to make sure that they limit their consumption of seafood. Seafood is also very high in purines. Mussels, crabs, shrimp, and clams are some of the other gout foods.
