Uric Acid Defined and Natural Remedies

Uric Acid is a mixture of blood and urine and is the result of nucleic acid metabolism.  It is an organic substance that is present in the human body.  The normal levels of this acid range from 3/6mg/dL to 8.3mg/dL.  There are many health conditions associatied with uric acid if the levels are too low or too high.  The most common conditions are gout (formation of solid crystals in the joints) and kidney stones (formation of solid crystals in the kidneys).

So you may be asking yourself "What can I do to make sure my levels stay within the normal range"? Here are some natural remedies you may find helpful.

1.  Reduce consumption of shellfish and organ meats
2.  Drink plenty of water
3.  Avoid alcoholic beverages
4.  Eat foods which contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits (cherries)
5.  Taking Vitamin C helps the urinary removal of the acid
6.  Eat plenty of fruits
7.  Parsley is a diuretic and assists the body in removal
8.  Taking Vitamin B Complex actually converts the acid into compounds and reduces the level in the body
9. Avoid high protein foods (red meat, game, some fish)
10 Avoid high fatty foods (broth, offal, legumes, poultry)

By following these simple remedies and maintaining an all around healthy diet, your uric acid levels should stay with in the normal limits. 

I also market a product called Limu Plus which is a healthy supplement that helps the body stay internally healthy! Click the link to find out more info.

What Do The Blog Visitors Want To Know?

Hello!  Before I start choosing topics at random for this blog, I want to know what do YOU want information on?  That's the entire point of a blog right? But what good is a blog if it contains the same information you see over and over again.  I want to please my readers and followers.  You can help me do this by telling me:

1. What health issues would you like more
     information about?
   
2. Would you like to read about yoga, mediation, or
     mental health?
   
3. What supplements would you like to know about
     or do you have questions on?


These are some ideas that I know people wonder about but don't know who/where to look for the information.  The internet is huge! So if you have a health related question or just want more information...let me know!  I look forward to hearing from you! Please post your comment below!
