What can I do about high blood uric acid levels?
High uric acid levels can cause joint pain, gout, or kidney problems if not managed properly. To help lower it, drink plenty of water every day, eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy, and avoid red meat, organ meats, shellfish, and oily fish like sardines. Cut down on sugary foods, soft drinks, and alcohol as they can raise uric acid. Maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly also help. Regular check-ups are important to keep your uric acid levels under control and prevent future complications.
