I want to reduce my uric acid levels. Will eating chicken make them increase again?

High uric acid is usually due to how the body processes purines, and certain foods can affect its level. You can eat chicken in small to moderate amounts, but avoid frequent or large portions, as it may raise uric acid levels if taken in excess. Focus on drinking plenty of water to help flush out uric acid, and include more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting red meat, organ meats, and alcohol. Maintaining a healthy weight and staying active can also help keep levels under control. Avoid sudden diet changes or high-protein diets as they can worsen the condition. If you get joint pain or swelling, seek meidcal attention. Consult a doctor to monitor levels and guide proper management.
