Easing Gout
Pain One Cherry at a Time!
Cherries have been used for
several centuries as added nutrition in ones diet…but can this
delicious fruit really help pain! It has been documented that
cherry juice can relieve the pain of Gout. In 1950 they
conducted a study that showed that eating ˝ pound of cherries
or drinking 1 liter of cherry juice will lessen your gout
pain! What a delicious treatment…don’t we wish we all could be
that lucky
The excruciating gout pain that
plagues several thousands of people each year is a hear one to
swallow. The idea of tiny sharp crystals of anything floating
around in ones blood is not something one looks forward too.
However there have been new studies that show this pain can be
relieved.
The tiny jagged crystals that
form in the blood usually strike the toe first namely the big
toe. Know one knows for sure why this particular joint is
targeted but they say it feels like walking on broken “glass”.
Gout wreaks havoc on many
sufferers each year while we can lessen the amount of attacks
there has not been a cure. Gout symptoms are
-
Sudden intense Pain
-
Red, swollen joints
-
Low-grade fevers
There are several foods that one
should avoid when diagnosed with gout these foods can increase
the amount of attacks you have:
-
Anchovies
-
Goose
-
Mackerel
-
Meat Extract
-
Shrimp
-
Dried Legumes
-
Herring
It is also known that Gout is
worse in people who are overweight and have high blood
pressure can get more attacks. Extra weight can also cause too
much pressure on the joint and create more inflammation. The
loss of weight too rapidly can also create more attacks of
gout.
There has been documented proof
the shows that cherry juice can give you a relatively quick
result when drinking cherry juice. It has been reported that
cherries contain Flavonoid compounds which can lower uric acid
and also reduce the inflammation in your joints. Since uric
acid is the trigger of these attacks it would help
significantly to reduce that pain and possibly prevent some
future attacks. Researchers wrote in the Journal of Nutrition
“Cherries may protect against gout” However we have found
nothing published that would support the fact that taking
regular cherry juice lessens attacks but it is worth a try.
Overall the pain of gout is
excruciating and affects the quality of life for all who
suffer it. Often many people reach for relief however they can
get it. While gout as with any condition should be followed
closely by a doctor the use of some herbal remedies can be
useful; one herb that is known to help with this condition is
Autumn Crocus. Talking to your physician about its treatment
would be wise. The idea of cherries in any form sounds
appealing to most you should simply load up and enjoy!
