Today changing lifestyles and bad eating habits are giving rise to many serious diseases. One such disease is called uric acid.

In such a situation, it becomes necessary to know what is uric acid, its symptoms, and methods of prevention.
Uric acid is a waste produced in the body. It is produced from the digestion of foods and contains purines. When purines are broken down in the body, uric acid is released from it. Kidneys filter uric acid in our body and then remove it from the body through urine. When a person consumes a large amount of puric in his food and his body is not able to push the uric acid out of the body fast enough, then the amount of uric acid in the body starts increasing.
When this happens, uric acid starts flowing in the blood of that person, which spreads to many parts of the body.
Most of the uric acid is filtered through the kidneys, which comes out of the body through the toilet, but if the uric acid builds up in the body or the kidneys are unable to filter it, then the level of uric acid in the blood increases. Later it gets deposited in between the bones and this causes the problem of gout. The increase in uric acid causes inflammation in the muscles of the body, which causes pain and this pain can occur in any part of the body.
Changes in diet and lifestyle are the biggest reasons for increasing uric acid. Being overweight or obese can also cause uric acid problems. Uric acid can also accumulate in the body due to stress. Eating red meat, seafood, lentils, kidney beans, mushrooms, cabbage, tomatoes, peas, paneer, okra, arbi, and rice also increases uric acid. Uric acid may increase if someone has kidney disease.There is also a problem of increasing uric acid in diabetic patients. Hypothyroidism ie low thyroid can also cause a uric acid problem.
Pain in the ankles, fingers, and knees can be its symptoms.Uric acid crystals get deposited in the joints, causing a swollen feeling in the joints. This is called gout. Uric acid can cause problems related to urination, kidney stones can also occur.Due to the increase in uric acid, there is unbearable pain in the joints and there is difficulty in getting up and sitting. In this, the person starts feeling tired more quickly. There is swelling in the hands and toes and there is severe pain.
If the level of uric acid increases, you should consult your doctor to control it. At 2 to 3 walnuts daily. By doing this, the increased uric acid will gradually decrease. By eating high-fiber food like oatmeal, oatmeal, beans, and brown rice, most of the amount of uric acid will be absorbed and its level will be reduced. Consume ajwain daily.
