		<description><![CDATA[Gout is a painful swelling and inflammation of the joints caused by the build up of uric acid crystals in the joints. Gout is one of the most typical arthritis forms which usually appear as an acute attack. Gout is one of the most painful rheumatic diseases. It results from deposits of needle-like crystals of uric acid in connective tissue, in the joint space between two bones, or in both. This uric acid leads to inflammatory arthritis, which causes swelling, redness, heat, pain, and stiffness in the joints. Uric acid is a substance that results from the breakdown of purines, which are part of all human tissue and are found in many foods. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood and passed through the kidneys into the urine, where it is eliminated. If the body increases its production of uric acid or if the kidneys do not eliminate enough uric acid from the body, levels of it build up in the blood (a condition called hyperuricemia).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gout is a painful swelling and inflammation of the joints caused by the build up of uric acid crystals in the joints. Gout is one of the most typical arthritis forms which usually appear as an acute attack. Gout is one of the most painful rheumatic diseases. It results from deposits of needle-like crystals of uric acid in connective tissue, in the joint space between two bones, or in both. This uric acid leads to inflammatory arthritis, which causes swelling, redness, heat, pain, and stiffness in the joints. Uric acid is a substance that results from the breakdown of purines, which are part of all human tissue and are found in many foods. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood and passed through the kidneys into the urine, where it is eliminated. If the body increases its production of uric acid or if the kidneys do not eliminate enough uric acid from the body, levels of it build up in the blood (a condition called hyperuricemia). Hyperuricemia also may result when a person eats too many high-purine foods, such as liver, dried beans and peas, anchovies, and gravies. Hyperuricemia is not a disease and by itself is not dangerous. However, if excess uric acid crystals form as a result of hyperuricemia, gout can develop. The excess crystals build up in the joint spaces, causing inflammation. Gout occurs in approximately 840 out of every 100,000 people. It is rare in children and young adults. Adult men, particularly those between the ages of 40 and 50, are more likely to develop gout than women, who rarely develop the disorder before menopause.</p>
<p>The good news is gout is preventable by controlling your daily diet. Here are the 5 tips of role of diet for gout sufferers.</p>
<p><strong>1. Lose weight gradually. </strong>Many people who have gout are obese; losing weight-especially fat around the abdomen-often prevents future attacks. Weight loss should be gradual, however, because a rapid reduction can raise blood level of uric acid and provoke gout. Fasting increases the blood levels of uric acid, therefore, people with gout should never try to skip meals. High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets should be avoided since these diets encourage the formation of ketones, metabolic by-products that hamper the body’s ability to excrete uric acid.</p>
<p><strong>2. You may have to modify your drug therapy.</strong> Sometime gout is brought on by using aspirin or diuretics for high blood pressure. This medicine may interfere with normal kidney function and the elimination of uric acid. Your doctor may change treatment if you experience severe joint paint while on a drug therapy.</p>
<p><strong>3. Avoid foods that are high in purines.</strong> Foods with a high content of naturally occurring chemicals called purines promote overproduction of uric acid in people with a tendency for gout. High-purine foods include anchovies, sardines, liver, kidneys, brains, meat extracts, herring, mackerel, scallops, game, beer, and red wine; these should be avoided completely. Moderately high purine content is found in whole-grain cereals, wheat germ and wheat bran, oatmeal, dried beans and peas, and mushrooms; eat these in moderation.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Consume plenty of liquids.</strong> Try to drink at least 2 liters of plain water a day to dilute urine and prevent kidney stone formation. Beer and wines should be avoided as these beverages are high in purines and interfere with the elimination of uric acid. People suffers from gout can opt for distilled alcohols in minute amount. Gout sufferers should drink only distilled alcohols in small amounts. Caffeinated beverages such as coffee also can also increase the production of uric acid and further impair its removal from the body. </p>
<p>5. <strong>Eat fish rich in omega-3s. </strong> The omega-3 fatty acids in fish have been found to reduce pain and inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis and may have a similar benefit in gout, but this may be countered by the purine content of the fish.</p>
<p>People suffers from gout also may have hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol. Counseling by a registered dietitian may help in designing appetizing, healthful meals that strike a balance between these health concerns and the enjoyment of food.</p>

<p><img title="broccoli" src="/images/broco.jpg" border="10" alt="broccoli" width="150" height="150" align="top" /></p>
<p>The first one -<strong> Broccoli</strong>, rich in various kinds of Vitamins, is well-known for its high anti-aging effect. Broccoli contains selenium that neutralizes active oxygen, and has anti-cancer function, so that it is highly effective for anti-aging. Moreover, it also contains Vitamin A and beta-carotene to strengthen skin resistance making your skin healthy, and contains two times as much Vitamin C, well-known for its whitening effect, as lemon and seven times as much as potato. Broccoli contain multiple cancer fighting chemicals (indoles for example). Indoles can affect estrogen, converting it to a benign form that will not stimulate abnormal cancer cells.</p>
<p>The second one is -<strong> Tomato</strong>. Tomatoes contain lycopene &#8211; an anticancer substance that some researchers suggest may be stronger than beta carotene. Lycopene is the red carotenoid found predominantly in tomatoes and in a few other fruits and vegetables such as watermelons, carrots.Claims have been made that lycopene may be beneficial in diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease as well as other chronic conditions. Vitamin C , an antioxidant that can prevent cellular damage leading to cancer, is also found in tomatoes.</p>
<p><strong>Garlic and onions</strong></p>
<p>Garlic(Allium sativum) and onions(Allium cepa) are widely used around the world for its pungent flavour, as a seasoning or condiment or to enhance other flavours. Garlic and onions both contain allium compounds (diallyl sulfides). Allium is a powerful antibiotic and anti-fungal compound (phytoncide). It can increased the activity of the immune cells that fight cancer and indirectly help to break down cancer -causing substances. Garlic also able to fight cancer directly (ajoane chemicals) and it can stimulate body&#8217;s defense mechanisms. Onions also contain high amount of vitamin C.</p>
<p><strong>Grapes</strong> &#8211; Grapes contain ellagic acid. Ellagic acid block enzymes that are necessary for cancer cells to grow, and slowing the growth of tumors. Grapes also contain compounds that can prevent blood clots. Another substance in grape skins (resveratrol) prevents the deposit of cholesterol in arteries.<br />
Citrus fruits</p>
<p><strong>Citrus</strong> contain limonene which stimulates cancer killing immune cells (T lymphocytes and others) . They also break down cancer causing substances. Oranges have shown strong anticancer properties. More than 60 anticancer chemicals are contained in citrus fruits. Lime and celery also fall into this category, though they are less potent.</p>
