Gout Picture: Atkins Diet Yes or No
#1
Wink 
[size=4][b]Gout Picture - Atkins Diet Yes or No[/b][/size][hr]As of now, January 2005, more than half of all north Americans are struggling with obesity. The 'quick fix' for 'fat' for the last 40+ years, becoming ever more popular, has become the Atkins Diet. The Atkins Diet was first popularized in the U. S. Air Force during the 1960's. Wink

[size=large][b]This is Ridiculous[/b][/size][hr]Why? Because the elimination of carbohydrates and the reduction of the fresh fruits and vegetables actually throws your health into a major imbalance. Overloading your unbalanced diet by an excess of protein intake (adding that steak, above) to 'increase the volume' to a satisfying level merely exacerbates this imbalance.

Quote:[list][*]In doubt, or if you have questions, you should consult your physician and, if possible, consult a second physician for a possible different opinion.[*]The author does not bear any responsibility for your decisions nor for the outcome of your actions based upon those decisions. [/list]

The third myth: Mention the Atkins Diet and most people's reaction is 'Oh, yes, the 'high protein' diet.' Not true at all --- it's a 'Low Carb' diet ' protein intake remains unchanged. Some carbs only, not all, are restricted (versus eliminated completely); fats, particularly in older people, need to be restricted; protein should be kept to 4-6 ounce portions per meal, the lower values for breakfast and lunch. What you need to increase is your intake of high-fiber foods such as celery, etc.

The reason why the Atkins Diet works is because your body metabolizes its stored fat (carbohydrates) in order to burn --- digest --- the protein, fiber and fat you are eating. The Atkins Dieters tend to leave out several food groups, including fruit and vegetables, since they are 'high carb food', and then tend to grab a steak instead, which has very low carbohydrates. Although there was a lot of fluctuation in the writing styles of we independent writers, we have come up with an end product on Gout Diabetes worth reading!

Disclaimer: This article in no way should be taken as 'medical advice' on any product, condition or course of action, nor does it constitute in any way 'medical advice' endorsing any specific product, specific result, nor any possible cure for any condition or problem. This article is meant as a source of information upon which you may base your decision as to whether or not you should begin using any vitamin, mineral and/or herbal supplement for better health, or begin using a 'greens' product as a dietary supplement.

What is it? Its actually two things: A food diet and exercise ' yes, simple exercise, like walking a mile a day. A completely balanced, restricted calorie, diet containing a little bit of everything. Eat three meals a day, get your sweets, carbs, veggies, fruits, juices, protein and keep it to 1200 calories a day. Eat your breakfast and go out and walk the dog ' if you don't have one, take your neighbor's. Give this diet a year of your life, weigh yourself every Monday and keep track of your weight, see where you are with it'..and make the change for the rest of your life. When you get to your target weight you may increase the diet to 1600 calories a day.

[size=large][b]And Not Just the Atkins Diet[/b][/size][hr]Any and all diets which highly restrict or eliminate one of the essential food groups we all need to maintain optimal health is equally bad. Stop the insanity and use a REAL diet --- the only proven diet which will work for virtually everyone. Big Grin.

The first myth: many dieters who use this program believe that calories and fat do not matter when eating low carb food, but in some cases this has proven to be fatal. Depending upon your particular body chemistry, when eating high fat food your cholesterol could climb and climb, leading to a heart attack or stroke. Also, it has now been proven that the older we become the less our body is able to metabolize the 'high fat' portion of the Atkins 'lo carb' diet, leading to additional dietary and health problems. :o.

[size=large][b]There are Three Major Misconceptions to the Atkins Diet[/b][/size][hr]The first common myth is many people believe this means don't worry about the amount of calories or fat you eat so long as its not carbs. The second common myth is many people believe all carbohydrates are equally bad. The third common myth is that the Atkins 'Lo-Carb' diet is actually a 'Hi-Protein' diet. All of these, however, are enormous misconceptions. When a child shows a flicker of understanding when talking about Gout Diabetes, we feel that the objective of the meaning of Gout Diabetes being spread, being achieved.

[size=large][b]The Second Myth: the Atkins Diet is Actually a 'Lo-Carb' Diet, Not a 'No-Carb' Diet[/b][/size][hr]What should be cut out are breads, rice and potatoes. Fresh fruits and vegetables should not be cut back and many should be somewhat increased. Finally, after the first month you can 'safely' add breads and potatos --- in limited quantities. One friend of mine eats 1 bite of breads/toasts, etc., served with his meals, such as garlic breads. One bite and not a morsel more.

[size=large][b]The Atkins Diet is Very Simple --- Restrict Your Carbohydrate Intake[/b][/size][hr]And guess what? It actually works. But Dr. Atkins, after the initial few years of his popularized diet, began to make modifications and refinements to the original basic diet. And several other people have taken the basic Atkins Diet, modified it just a little, and come up with a new and very workable diet. We have to be very flexible when talking to children about Gout Attack. They seem to interpret things in a different way from the way we see things! :o.

B>Arthritis: Its Debilitating and Detrimental Effects[/b] Did you know that Arthritis is one of the most disabling diseases? It's true! Arthritis currently affects more than 40 million Americans and that figure is expected to rise to 60 million by the year 2,020. It is imperative that you read this article and find out what this devastating disease is truly about. </br>[b]

[size=large][b]One of the Most Devastating Effects of Arthritis Has to be that It is a Chronic Condition[/b][/size][hr]Arthritis is so weakening that it only grows worse with time. In fact, Arthritis is so detrimental that of the diseases that instill chronic physical disabilities, Arthritis is second only to Heart Disease. </br>

You suffer from Arthritis, don't give up. There are many people who are discovering that with the proper management and health care provisions, they can live better, healthier, and pain free lives.</br>

Stay tuned for the next article in our series on Arthritis, [b]Symptoms of Arthritis".[/b] About the author: Written by John Robben of Ultimate Water Massage, Inc. It is not always that we just turn on the computer, and there is a page about Gouty Arthritis. We have written this article to let others know more about Gouty Arthritis through our resources.

The overall conclusion is that Arthritis is a seriously gout more condition_treatment causes chronic pain and weakness. It does not only affect seniors, but forms of Arthritis also plagues children. There are over 100 forms of Arthritis and all Arthritis sufferers share one thing in common, chronic joint pain. The top three common forms of Arthritis include Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Gout. We have seen that Arthritis isn't cured, but managed. </br> [b] Some steps and treatment plans used by Arthritis sufferers include: </br>[/b] [b]

[size=large][b]Many People Mistakenly Believe that Arthritis is a Disease that Only Affects the Elderly[/b][/size][hr]This simply isn't the case. Yes it's true that seniors, especially senior women, are effected the greatest by Osteoarthritis, yet the average age for onset of Arthritis is 47 years old, and sufferers are generally afflicted between the ages of 20-50. Sadly, even infants have been diagnosed with forms of Arthritis. </br>

The cost of Arthritis is not only measured in the loss of quality of life, but it is also measured by dollars and cents as well. It is estimated that over $150,000 is lost by an individual over the course of a lifetime due to the debilitating effects of Arthritis. This is totaled by lost wages, medical treatments, and the cost of medically based needs and care. </br> Now while reading about Uric Acid, don't you feel that you never knew so much existed about Uric Acid?

[size=4][b]Flush Kidney Stone - Natural Treatments for Gout - Gout Information[/b][/size][hr]Gout is one of the most common forum of arthritis (joint inflammation). Gout is condition that results from crystals of uric acid depositing in tissues of the body. Gout usually affects the first metatarsal phalangeal joint of the big toe (hallux) or the ankle joints. Gout most often affects the big toe but can also affect the ankle, knee, foot, hand, wrist and elbow. Approximately one million people in the United States suffer from attacks of gout. Gout is nine times more common in men than in women. It predominantly attacks males after puberty, with a peak age of 75. In women, gout attacks usually occur after menopause.

Occurs more frequently in countries that have a high standard of living. The most common sign of gout is a nighttime attack of swelling, tenderness, redness, and sharp pain in your big toe. There may also be the feeling that the skin around the area is stretching or tearing. There seem to be a number of factors that can cause people to develop gout. Some medications can prevent uric acid from leaving the body. Cyclosporine which is a medication used to suppress the body's immune system and prevent rejection after organ transplant, also increases the risk for developing gout. This can cause a build up of uric acid crystals.

[size=large][b]Alcohol and Certain Foods can Trigger a Gout Attack[/b][/size][hr]Events such as strokes, heart attacks or surgery may also cause gout. Gout is strongly associated with obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Because of genetic factors, gout tends to run in some families. A variety of treatments can help you manage your gout. Traditionally treatment for acute gout has consisted of colchicine , which can be effective if given early in the attack. Gout often is treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as naproxen (e.g., Anaprox, Naprosyn) and indomethacin (e.g., Indocin), usually for 3-7 days.

To prevent future attacks, your doctor can prescribe a medicine to reduce uric acid buildup in your blood. Changing the way you eat can help you conduct your gout. Eat a healthy mix of foods so you get the nutrients you need. Limit foods like meat, fish, and beer. Drink plenty of water and other fluids.Life style changes such as limiting alcohol consumption, and limiting meals with meats and fish rich in purines can also be helpful in controlling gout. Weight loss may be very important this condition. You should also avoid certain animal proteins, such as: seafood; liver; kidney; heart; gizzard; sweetbreads; meat extracts; and gravy.

[list][*]Do you know what part of the body indicates the start of a gout attack?[*]If you said the big toe, you would be right.[*]Unfortunately, modern medical research still hasn't discovered the reason why over 75% of gout attacks occur in the big toe is first.[*]In addition, to the big toe other joints of the body may also signal a gout attack including the knee, ankle and elbow.[/list]

The benefit of the tart cherry is this little fruit is available is a variety of options including tart cherry juice, tart cherry capsules, dried cherries and the fresh fruit. Here is an brief overview of the different ways to fight gout with tart cherries: Big Grin.

[size=large][b]One Food You Should Add to Your Diet is the Tart Cherry[/b][/size][hr]This ruby red fruit has been proven to help dissolve the crystals in the joints. Based upon medical university research the antioxidants naturally found in the tart cherry, including Anthocyanins, flavonoids and over 17 other natural compounds actually help to reduce inflammation in the joints.

[size=large][b]How to Fight Gout?[/b][/size][hr]Fighting gout is not as hard as it appears to be when you really look at the pain and swelling caused by gout. The best way to fight gout is to make changes to your behaviour and eating habits like taking a walk after dinner to loss some of the calories you had at dinner. In addition, you also want to add specific foods that have been proven to help dissolve the jagged crystals in the joints.

[size=large][b]Gout is Actually a Form of Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]Gout pain is the result of the build up of uric acid in the body. Uric acid is a result of crystal-like formations that travel in the blood stream. These jagged crystals are the cause of the redness, swelling and pain that gout is infamously known for.

[size=large][b]If You Have a Family History of Gout, You May Also Suffer from Gout[/b][/size][hr]2. Being overweight also contributes to gout. 3. Drinking excess alcohol or people drinking large amounts of alcohol on a continued basis can contribute to gout. 4. People how had an organ transplant are more likely to have gout than those who have not an organ transplant. 5. Men are more likely to get gout than women, however more women are getting gout. 6. The consumption of high purines food including seafood, alcohol and meats like kidney's and liver.

[size=large][b]May 2008 the U.S[/b][/size][hr]Based company developing Pegloticase made another upbeat statement assessment of what they have learnt in its Phase 3 and open label extension trials. Note that Pegloticase still awaits approval from medical authorities so I am writing here about a new gout drug that is still under development.

<strong>TRIAL SUCCESS WITH DIFFICULT TO TREAT GOUT PATIENTS </strong> Pegloticase is significant because its trials have focused on gout patients who have not had success with other gout drugs, or who have medical conditions which prohibit the use of them. Thus it has been tackling harder-to-treat gout cases, not the easier ones. Hard to treat cases are a significant percentage of the gout sufferer universe. After many hopeless endeavors to produce something worthwhile on Excess Uric Acid, this is what we have come up with. We are very hopeful about this!

Pegloticase's answer to the excess uric acid level problem is to remove it by ingeniously converting uric acid into something else, a substance called Allantoin. Allantoin is more soluble and better excreted than uric acid. The principle comes from the way most animals do it. They do it by converting UA to Allantoin, but this is something humans cannot do naturally. Hence the formulation of Pegloticase.

[i]This suggests that progression of the disease may be contained in difficult-to-treat cases, and therefore may not cause other medical conditions such as kidney stones heart disease and hypertension.[/i]

[size=large][b]May Was a Good Month for Gout Sufferers[/b][/size][hr]Febuxostat, (EU trade/brand name Adenuric), the first new major drug medication for gout in over 40 years, was approved for marketing in member countries of the European Union. Nothing abusive about Natural Gout Remedies have been intentionally added here. Whatever it is that we have added, is all informative and productive to you.

[size=large][b]Has Been Having a Decent Degree of Success[/b][/size][hr]<strong>Elimination of gout attacks </strong>In its most recent statement the developing company's most significant remark was that the extension trial group receiving Pegloticase every two weeks, there were only four gout attacks among those who had been administered Pegloticase (8 mg) every fortnight for two months, in subsequent months. And none in this group had a gout attack after five months of Pegloticase treatment, in following months. All were patients who had been through a phase 3 trial.

Other encouraging statements were that all extension trial patients who had responded earlier to treatment and who were on the every two week course maintained normal uric acid levels, (some were new joiners). 70% of those on an every four week course who had responded earlier to treatment, maintained normal uric acid levels. Big Grin.

[list][*]Other patient groups there were reductions in attacks and improvement in tophi reduction.[*]Tophi are those knobbly shaped, awkward looking, lumps of MSU crystals that often develop in longer term gout sufferers. :o[/list]

<strong>HOW PEGLOTICASE WORKS </strong> What makes Pegloticase a very interesting, and more importantly, a hopeful new gout drug, is the way it works. All drugs used in gout try to cure or alleviate the disease by reducing the body's uric acid (UA) levels. They do this by either inhibiting its production or making it easier to remove.

Quote:[list][*]The world of natural gout remedies, uric acid's removal can be improved by making it more soluble.[*]This is achieved by drinking lots of water and by raising body pH levels in various ways.[/list]

[list][*]<strong>SIDE EFFECTS </strong> Of course Pegloticase has caused side effects, in the extension trial in about 1 in 5 patients.[*]The developing company has said that most were mild, moderate, or controllable.[*]But in some cases more severe side effects have been described as including chest and back pains, muscle cramps, sweating and flushes.[/list]

Pegloticase is getting closer to an application for approval by the U.S. FDA. Its developers hope to apply for a Biologics Licence Application in September 2008, and begin marketing it in 2009.

[i]Finding a gout free diet may be simpler than you first think and it may surprise you to know that are a surprising number of additional benefits that can be had.[/i]

When you are looking to implement a gout free diet you need to ensure that you avoid these trigger foods and substitute them for gout friendly foods such as, cereals, fruits, complex carbohydrates, rice, leafy green vegetables and low fat milk products.

Hyperuricemia is when uric acid levels are too high and can lead to gout and kidney stones. Also, a recent study by doctors at John Hopkins University Hospital found that cognitive functions can be reduced if there is increased Uric Acid in the body. The research was carried out on just under 100 people between the ages of 65 - 92.

Although gout is can be a hereditary condition where the body fails to process uric acid efficiently, you can help your body regain its balance by minimizing external factors that raise uric acid levels. One of the main factors that you can control to alleviate gout is to reduce the levels of purine rich foods consumed.

[list][*]The worst offenders are red meats, offal, processed meats, some shellfish, yeast extracts, gravies and alcohol.[*]All of these encourage uric acid production within the body.[/list]

[size=large][b]Uric Acid is Naturally Produced by the Body and is an Antioxidant[/b][/size][hr]During the metabolizing process it is dissolved in the blood stream and then excreted via the kidneys and intestines. However, too much can be a bad thing, leading to a situation within the body called hyperuricemia.

Ensure that you are keeping your body sufficiently hydrated by drinking at minimum 6 - 8 eight ounce glasses of water. Dehydration will increase uric acid levels as without enough water uric acid will become more concentrated in the blood and the kidneys will struggle to expel it. By staying hydrated you will dilute the uric acid and the kidneys will have a easier time of the elimination process.

[list][*]They found that elevated levels of uric acid meant that people were more likely to have below average scores on cognitive function tests.[*]So, not only can high uric acid levels lead to a painful gout attack, but can negatively effect your verbal and memory scores.[*]More reason to find a gout free diet that will help to lower uric acid levels.[*]Purine is the substance of this composition.[*]Without Purine, there would not have been much to write and think about over here![/list]

[size=large][b]Having Excess Uric Acid in the Blood Stream Causes Gout[/b][/size][hr]When it reaches saturation point, the uric acid crystallizes and deposits itself into the spaces between joints and the soft tissue that surrounds them. These crystals cause the arthritic symptoms - the red, swollen, hot and sore-to-touch joints that characterize gout and the symptoms can come on very suddenly.

Gout is caused by the increase in the amount of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is normally removed from the body through the urine, however if it is not excreted it can form crystals, which irritate body tissues like the lining of joints. This will in turn cause inflammation and pain, which is often quite severe.

[list][*]Some gout attacks patients may need joint fluid removed for analysis and during the process can have local numbing medicines injected into the joint.[*]These numbing medicines are also called local anesthetics.[*]Sometimes steroids are injected into a joint to decrease the inflammation. [*]Colchicine is typically used if the first line medications like NSAID's do not help but most people have relief of pain ultimately.[*]Even if no medicines are taken the attack will subside in a few days.[*]However if repeated attacks occur there can be lasting damage. Big Grin[*]A person is on many medications, which can cause gout, changing these may help.[*]One common cause is diuretic medications, which decrease leg swelling or edema.[*]Many older individuals are on these medicines and if they get a gout attack they must remember this fact.[/list]

[size=large][b]Some Situations Steroid Medications Like Prednisone May be Needed[/b][/size][hr]The steroids will decrease the inflammation and decrease the chemical responses that cause pain. It is important to know that there are many side effects from all of the medications and you must discuss these with your healthcare provider.

[b]As with all medications make sure you do not have an allergy to them and sometimes taking the medicine with food may decrease stomach upset or gastric distress, especially medicines like steroids.[/b]

[size=large][b]It's Time You Treat Your Gout![/b][/size][hr]As you consider the possibilities for gout treatments, it is always important to know all of your options. Two options for gout sufferers are the traditional medical treatment of medication and injections and the more recently popular gout natural treatment. Both treatments will eliminate the arthritic pain (typically affecting the big toe), but only one is remarkably simpler, more affordable and more effective. In fact, the gout natural treatment not only stops the pain; the simple remedy also cures the cause over time so the gout sufferer no longer has to worry about more attacks!

[b]A Gout Natural Treatment that Works![/b] Only in the last few decades, have developed countries relied completely upon doctors and drugs for their health. However, simple remedies that worked over 100 years ago still work today. Yet, doctors won't even consider the legitimacy of natural remedies that work. Consequently, doctors continue to prescribe side-effect laden medications for all ailments.

You are asking these questions, you are the perfect candidate to try a 100% guaranteed (yes, guaranteed to work) natural gout treatment you can use at home. Take a minute and visit our Gout Natural Treatment Website and see why thousands of gout sufferers are going natural! You will be astonished how simple, affordable and guaranteed our natural gout treatment is.

The final natural health misunderstanding deals with traditional medical treatments. Many natural health experts are not opposed to medication and surgery. In reality, the medical field has helped millions of people annually. However, the problem arises from the excessive amounts of medications prescribed for some of the simplest ailments. Did you know that hundreds of antibiotics are dubbed useless because of resilient ailments? We are literally allowing doctors to take care of our body instead of our natural immunity! The best way of gaining knowledge about Gout Natural Treatment is by reading as much about it as possible. This can be best done through the Internet.

[b]The Truth about Natural Health[/b] Natural health has been the newest rave in health and medical communities in recent years. Why? Because natural health is considerably effective at treating numerous ailments and it allows YOU to take care of your health and NOT a doctor or pharmacy. However, millions of people still believe that natural treatments are 'quacks'. To the sufferers' demise, many people have opted to not even consider a natural treatment for their health because of this stigma.

[list][*][b]The Truth about Gout Medical Treatment[/b] What's in store for those who decide to treat gout medically?[*]Typically, there are two treatments prescribed by doctors to remedy the pain associated with gout.[*]They are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroid drugs injected to arthritic area.[*]Both treatments will typically stop the pain with some side-effects.[*]Most people do not realize the simplicity in natural holistic treatments (treating the whole body as opposed to one area of the body).[*]Understanding that natural treatments are a way to treat the ailment by treating the whole body is the cornerstone of natural health.[*][b]Do Natural Treatments Work?[/b] If you knew that a natural treatment was effective and worked; would you use it?[*]Of course you would![*]It would be easier on your body and your pocketbook.[*]But why don't doctors tell us about simple, effective natural treatments?[*]Consider why the pharmaceutical industry in a multi-billion dollar industry?[*]Consider why medications are pennies across the border compared to hundreds of dollars in developed countries?[*]Consider why pharmacists get paid 6 digits for dispensing pills?[*]Consider why the family doctor gets paid more than your state governor? [*]Think about this...[*]Does modern medicine want you to know about proven natural remedies that work?[*]Does your doctor want you to know about a proven, guaranteed gout natural treatment?[*]But what will work?[*]Every gout sufferer just wants a treatment that will cure their gout.[*]What treatment is the most effective?[*]What treatment is affordable?[*]What treatment is the simplest?[/list]

NSAIDs can cause side-effects including stomach pain, bleeding and ulcers. And corticosteroid (prednisone) can cause more serious side-effects including thinning of bones, poor wound healing and decreased ability to fight infection. It would be recommended to avoid corticosteroid because of severity of the side-effects.

[size=4][b]Kidney Stone Medications - Natural Gout Treatment - Resources for Constructing a Free Gout Diet Plan[/b][/size][hr]So much of natural gout treatment requires diet and every gout sufferer has to pay very close attention to what they eat and drink. Imagine how useful a nutrition database on your home computer is; one that you can quickly access, without going to the Internet or 500 page reference books, to look up the nutrients in foods and beverages. And suppose that this comprehensive database is free and easily downloaded? Too good to be true?

Earlier articles I have written about the success a South African study of the use of three Zone diet rules had in lowering uric acid and against gout attacks in 13 male gout patients. Essentially, at the practical, do-it-yourself level, the Zone diet involves discovering your ideal amount of carbohydrates, protein and fats, and then implementing these amounts in your diet. How to discover and implement them are in the book "Entering the Zone" (aka the Zone diet) with additional tips and techniques in follow-up book "Mastering the Zone," both written by Barry Sears PhD. So too are many of the necessary values in foods. But the values tables in the books do not cover as many foods and beverages as does this "Titanic of nutrition" database.

[size=large][b]Its Site Says that There are Mac and Handheld Versions Too[/b][/size][hr]So if you use a handheld computer it can be used outside your home. It can be searched online for the vitamin, mineral, water, ash, protein, calorie, carbohydrate, fats, fibre (fiber), sugars, caffeine and others, of foods and beverages.

[size=large][b]PH of FOODS NUMBERS[/b][/size][hr]Alkalizing your body (raising its pH levels above pH is an important part of natural gout treatment because the pH theory is that a more alkaline body make uric acid more soluble and better absorbs nutrients in foods. One way to improve your body's pH levels is to ensure adequate levels of potassium, calcium, magnesium and zinc. All are important in alkalization but more calcium may be the most since if your body is acidic (low pH levels below pH it may be scavenging calcium from your bones. Why? Blood pH must be at pH The body will ensure that it is, even if it has to loot calcium elsewhere to do it. All these minerals amounts in foods and beverage are shown in the National Nutrient database. :o.

[size=large][b]Vitamin C Has Been Pretty Well Researched as a Natural Gout Remedy[/b][/size][hr]It has been found to lower uric acid levels somewhat. In the last study about it in 2005, with 500 mg of Vitamin C daily. Vitamin C is best taken in foods. Use the National Nutrient database to find the natural Vitamin C content of foods.

[size=large][b]PURINE TABLES[/b][/size][hr]Over-producers of uric acid (as opposed to under-excretors) may benefit from a low purine gout diet since restricting purines in foods probably means less available to be converted into uric acid. Do you want the purines contents of foods and drinks? Visit ***** :o.

You can even discover how cooking, canning and freezing various foods affects the Vitamin C content of them. (It usually falls). Not only can you look up each food you are interested via the database but you can also at this site look up lists (called reports) sorted from highest to lowest and download those lists to your home or office computer. For some investigations, it's a great time saver. These reports require Adobe Reader.

[list][*]The carbohydrate, protein and fats amount in foods can be easily found in the National Nutrient database.[*]For this diet you also need to distinguish between mono and poly unsaturated fats and saturated fats.[*]The amounts of these in foods are easily discovered in the database[/list]

[size=large][b]To Download Visit[/b][/size][hr]***** Scroll down to where the text says "download the database for use on your computer with various software packages." Click on this. On the next page that arrives click on pcs20 exe to download it. There is also an 11 page downloadable guide in Adobe Reader which explains how to download, and how to use the database. Click on "user's guide." We were rather indecisive on where to stop in our writings of Gout Diet. We just went on writing and writing to give a long article.

When a gout attack strikes it's usually excruciatingly painful, leaving most sufferers willing to do almost anything to make the pain go away. Because for some people, even when they do their best to eat the right diet, and take all of the other precautions that are suggested by medical professionals, an attack can occur. There are a few things you can do right away to stop your gout attack from getting worse, and you may even be able to lessen the pain and shorten the length of the attack. It all depends on what you do when it happens.

[list][*]One natural remedy that many sufferers rely on when they feel a gout attack coming is to take celery seed as a supplement.[*]This option should be discussed with your doctor, but taking the recommended amounts can help lessen the severity of your attack.[*]Not only that, it can also help reduce the inflammation of the joints and can calm and soothe muscles that may cramp.[/list]

Another suggested natural remedy that can reduce your gout attack is to eat a lot of cherries. There are a number of suggested amounts, but eating a large handful of fresh cherries or drinking cherry juice when you feel that a gout attack is imminent can help cut the severity of your attack in half and lessen your pain. Some suggest eating a half a pound of them a day and others recommend a pound or more. That's a lot of cherries to eat, and will be hard if you don't like them, but you can think of them as a natural way to fight your attack. You can try cherry juice as a substitute, but make sure it is 100% real cherry juice. Some people with bad attacks have eaten or drunk the equivalent of two pounds when they fear an attack is near. Just be aware that too much fruit can play havoc with your digestion system, especially if you're not used to the large quantities. Wink

[list][*]The best time to start fighting a gout attack is when you first notice the warning signs that one may be about to flare.[*]You may not be able to put a stop to it completely, but there are some steps you can take to ease the pain and reduce the duration.[/list]

[Image: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/979/i...ut204.jpeg]

These natural remedies don't work or your wish to take a two-pronged approach, you can fight the pain and inflammation associated with a gout attack by taking a high dose of an anti inflammatory medication otherwise known as NSAID. These can be taken up to four times a day, but bear in mind that this may not be work for everyone. When you want to take this approach, talk with your doctor about the amount you should take, when you should take it, and how often. While NSAID's can help with inflammation and pain, you do want to be sure you are not taking too much or that you are simply not taking enough.
