Increased uric acid is a common problem today. One of the factors that helps reduce uric acid levels is to provide the body with enough nutrients without making the condition worse.

Increased uric acid should avoid foods rich in purines. Purines are natural compounds provided by food. In the body, the process of breaking down purines will create uric acid. It is important to know that a diet that provides high levels of purines and lasts continuously will increase uric acid levels in the body, increasing the risk of gout.

Many people know that seafood or animal organs are foods that contribute to increasing uric acid, but few people know that peanuts can also increase uric acid. This is because peanuts contain up to 80mg of purine, so they can increase the amount of uric acid in the body.

In addition, some foods are also rich in purines such as wild game meat, tuna, sardines, salmon, cod, herring, bacon or foods made from milk and red meat, organs, and sugary drinks.

Turkey and goose are also two types of meat that contain a lot of B vitamins, amino acids, phosphorus and minerals with high purine content. Therefore, it is recommended to only eat about 110 to 175mg of turkey meat to ensure that it does not increase uric acid while still providing enough nutrients for the body.
