How Should You Use Food to Raise Your Body Ph Levels?
#1
Wink 
[size=4][b]Www Gout - Natural Gout Treatment - How Should You Use Food to Raise Your Body Ph Levels?[/b][/size][hr]What does pH stand for? Is it personal hygiene? Or proper health? Or possibly hydrated? Well no. It actually stands for the power of hydrogen. But without going deeper into biochemistry, gout sufferers just need to know that raising body pH levels makes the body more alkaline, and lowering them, more acidic.

[list][*]Remember too, that there are other ways of raising pH, notably drinking alkaline (ionized) water.[*]Drinking lots of regular water daily also raises pH.[*]So too do alkalizing minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and zinc.[*]Make your pH rise and your uric acid levels should fall.[*]Ensure that your body is not acidic.[*]We have not actually resorted to roundabout means of getting our message on Cure Gout through to you.[*]All the matter here is genuine and to the point.[/list]

"Miracle" foods for gout, such as cherries, celery and perhaps strawberries, (all have been reported to cure gout in some cases), will not work for everyone, probably only for a small minority. Neither will simple natural gout remedies such as avoiding alcohol, although this did work in one famous case in Japan.

Record the time and value of all your pH measurements and ensure you follow the test strip manufacturer's usage instructions exactly. Don't overdo it. Just as a highly acidic body can suffer from acidosis, an over alkaline body can suffer from alkalosis, which causes muscle cramps and spasms among other problems. With people wanting to learn more about Uric Acid Reduction, it has provided the necessary incentive for us to write this interesting article on Uric Acid Reduction!

[b] Keep this natural gout treatment simple.[/b] Instead of two simultaneous diets, exclude some acidic foods especially if they are ones you consume a lot. But continue with your primary gout diet plan. Only exclude more acidic foods, if your body pH levels are not rising above pH 0 after testing with pH test strips for a considerable time and at different times of day. (The body's pH numbers change frequently. perhaps even minute by minute). It is the normal style of writers to add additional information with the intention of lengthening the length of an article. However, we have provided a short and concise article with only required information on Uric Acid Levels.

[list][*][b] So how do you use the pH potential of foods numbers? [/b] Firstly learn the extent to which a food or drink is acidic or is alkaline.[*]Any number above pH 7.0 is considered alkaline, and below pH 7.0 acidic.[*]Study for a while the pH tables you have downloaded and get a rough idea of the values of your most eaten foods.[*]For an easy, more exact reference, put up a pH foods chart, or printed downloaded lists, on your kitchen wall as a reminder.[*]We were rather indecisive on where to stop in our writings of Gout.[*]We just went on writing and writing to give a long article. Smile[/list]

[size=large][b]USING Ph VALUES in DIET PLANNING[/b][/size][hr]Most natural gout treatment involves a diet. Firstly, to reach your ideal weight if required, as it probably will be for most gout sufferers. Secondly, to assist the uric acid reduction process. The low purine gout diet, and any diet which has a positive effect on insulin resistance, are two useful diets in natural gout treatment. Dieting is hard work but most gout sufferers will not achieve a natural gout cure without diet.

[size=large][b]You Reduce Your Uric Acid Levels to Below[/b][/size][hr]0 mg/dL (men), slightly less in women, it is more likely that the troublesome MSU crystals will dissolve and a gout cure will be achieved. The value of this composition is achieved if after reading it, your knowledge on Natural Gout Treatment is greatly influenced. This is how we find out that the meaning of Natural Gout Treatment has really entered you!

[i] NB. The contents of this article contain medical information not medical advice. Please always discuss remedies with your doctor or other health care professional before implementing any treatment.[/i] People are inclined to think that some matter found here that is pertaining to Natural Remedies Gout is false. However, rest is assured, all that is written here is true!

As well as pH 0 food labels, neither the excellent USDA National Nutrient database, nor most cookery books and articles list pH values of foods and beverages. And it's not the word off the lips of celebrity chefs. But you can find the pH of foods and drinks on the Internet. One good list is at ***** which can be downloaded. The initial stages of this article on Purine Gout Diet proved to be difficult. However, with hard work and perseverance, we have succeeded in providing an interesting and informative article for you to read.

Raising your body's pH levels is part of natural gout treatment. The theory is, supported by studies, that higher body pH levels (more alkaline) contribute to a reduction in uric acid levels because uric acid (diluted from drinking lots of water) becomes more soluble if the body is more alkaline. The higher the acid/alkaline ratio i.e. the higher the pH number on the pH scale, the more alkaline your body, and the more uric acid you should dissolve.

[size=large][b]So a Gout Sufferer Aiming for a Natural Gout Cure is on a Diet[/b][/size][hr]He/she has to carefully consider everything eaten or drunk and maybe consider the pH of foods too. This is a very tall order. In effect they would be on two diets simultaneously. You may be inquisitive as to where we got the matter for writing this article on Natural Gout Remedies. Of course through our general knowledge, and the Internet!

[size=large][b]ACHIEVING a MORE ALKALINE BODY[/b][/size][hr]There are various ways to achieve a more alkaline body but probably the easiest is to drink alkaline (ionized) water which is water with excess oxygen in the form of OH-, not O It's described as being lively and much tastier than regular water, and you can cook with it. The manufacturers of a well known ionizer brand say food cooked with alkaline water is tastier. Inspiration can be considered to be one of the key ingredients to writing. Only if one is inspired, can one get to writing on any subject especially like Gout Sufferers.

[size=large][b]The Ph SCALE[/b][/size][hr]The pH scale ranges from 14 (most alkaline) down to 0 (most acidic). pH of 7 is neutral. It is a logarithmic scale. On this scale, as on pH test strips scales, a single whole number change (whether up or down) means a change of 10 times the previous number. So small number changes on this scale in fact mean very significant differences between the alkalinity and acidity of different foods. As we got to writing on Uric Acid Levels, we found that the time we were given to write was inadequate to write all that there is to write about Uric Acid Levels! So vast are its resources. Wink

[list][*]Gout is a very painful inflammatory condition of the joints, caused by crystallized uric acid collecting around the affected joint.[*]The most common joint affected is the big toe; however, gout can affect the ankle, instep, heel, knee, spine, elbow, wrist, and finger.[*]In severe cases, gout can deform the affected joint. [/list]

What are the foods and beverages that heighten the body's uric acid level, causing a gout attack? Meats and seafood promote gout attacks. Do you like beef, pork, lamb, liver, bacon, fish, lobster, mussels, scallops, or shrimp? Sorry, you have to pass on these. To a lesser degree, chicken, turkey, and duck promote gout attacks. Do you like beer? Well you don't anymore, because beer promotes gout attacks. As we got to writing on Gout Prevention, we found that the time we were given to write was inadequate to write all that there is to write about Gout Prevention! So vast are its resources.

[list][*]Grains and Cereals: High in protein are buckwheat, amaranth grain (usually sold in health food shops), and quinoa.[*]Nuts and Seeds: High in protein are peanuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds.[/list]

The following foods contain buckwheat, and can be served without meats and seafood: buckwheat pancakes, buckwheat breads, buckwheat muffins, buckwheat crackers, buckwheat bagels, buckwheat cookies, buckwheat tortillas, some breakfast cereals, buckwheat grits, kasha, buckwheat porridge, buckwheat salad with mushrooms and parsley oil, kasha varnishkes, buckwheat noodles, Japanese soba noodles, California buckwheat chapati, kasha knishes, and some blini.

Attempting brevity, I only brainstormed gout-safe high-protein foods containing cheese, buckwheat, peanuts, and tofu. If I were to include gout-safe high-protein foods containing milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, amaranth grain, quinoa, almonds, cashews, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, soy milk, beans, soy beans, and split peas, I would end up writing a novel. Though I only focused on foods containing cheese, buckwheat, peanuts, and tofu, you can see that there is plenty of variety. The more interesting an article, the more takers there are for the article. So we have made it a point to make this article on Cure Gout as interesting as possible!

[list][*]Since red wine doesn't elevate the body's uric acid level, it doesn't cause gout attacks.[*]In fact, red wine may even lower uric acid levels![*]And certainly red wine is just as effective as beer in helping you to unwind.[/list]

Beans including Soy: High in protein are tofu, soy milk, beans, soy beans, and split peas. Red Wine So all you have to do is substitute these high-protein foods for the meats and seafood that you usually eat. "But what about beer? Is there a substitute for that? I need to have a beer to unwind after work," you say. Once again, you are in luck.

Quote:Dose of 500 mg per day significantly reduces uric acid levels in most gout sufferers. But before you begin a vitamin C regimen, you should get your physician's approval; because high-dose vitamin C might possibly eliminate uric acid from your body too quickly, causing kidney stones. People are inclined to think that some matter found here that is pertaining to Gout is false. However, rest is assured, all that is written here is true!

[size=large][b]Protein Substitution Practical?[/b][/size][hr]Some of you may be saying right about now, "Okay, this all makes sense, but it's impractical. This protein substitution lacks variety; there's no way I can follow it." Lack of variety? Let's see. I'll attempt to brainstorm a variety of gout-safe high-protein foods. With people wanting to learn more about Gout Prevention, it has provided the necessary incentive for us to write this interesting article on Gout Prevention!

[list][*]Some foods suggested here can dangerously interact with some prescription drugs or medical conditions.[*]For example, eating cheese while taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) can kill you.[*]Also, drinking red wine while having liver cirrhosis can worsen your condition.[*]So to be on the safe side, you should get the approval of your physician and pharmacist before following the suggested dietary changes. Smile[/list]

The following foods contain peanuts, and can be served without meats and seafood: peanut candy, salted nuts, peanut butter, peanut butter sandwiches, vegetable salads mixed with peanut sauce, peanut-based dipping sauce, peanut butter crackers, mandelonas (peanuts soaked in almond flavoring), some health food bars, some breakfast cereals, peanut butter cookies, celery sticks filled with peanut butter, honey peanut steamed tea bread, cherry peanut granola, peanut squares, peanut butter crisps, trail mixes, some spaghetti sauces, boiled peanuts, peanut butter spread on toast, gorp (good old raisins and peanuts), Cajun flavored peanuts, peanut soup, peanut rolls, peanut muffins, peanut cake, peanut pudding, baked peanuts with rice, and peanut stuffing.

[size=large][b]Gout-Prone People can Have a Side Effect from Aspirin[/b][/size][hr]Though normal people can take aspirin without having a side effect, gout-prone people can have the side effect of a gout attack. So if you are gout-prone and have a headache, it is best that you take Motrin (ibuprofen) instead of Bayer (aspirin). We have not actually resorted to roundabout means of getting our message on Foods Avoid Gout through to you. All the matter here is genuine and to the point.

[size=large][b]High-Dose Vitamin C[/b][/size][hr]Not only may red wine reduce uric acid levels, vitamin C may also do likewise. High-dose vitamin C reduces uric acid levels in most gout sufferers. However, for some gout sufferers, high-dose vitamin C worsens their condition.

[size=large][b]Warnings, Interactions, and Side Effect[/b][/size][hr]Gout attacks can be cured by following the dietary changes suggested here. However, please keep in mind that it is easier to prevent gout attacks than intervene in the middle of gout attacks. So it is best to use the suggested how different approaches can effectively treat gout than reactively. The length of an article is rather immaterial about its response from people. People are more interested in the matter about Uric Acid, and not length. :o.

The following foods contain cheese, and can be served without meats and seafood: pizza, cheese ravioli, baked ziti, mozzarella sticks, eggplant Parmesan, cheese omelette, lasagna, muffin egg and cheese sandwich, macaroni and cheese, baked potato with cheddar cheese sauce, stuffed shells Italiano, cheese manicotti in marinara sauce, salad with blue cheese dressing, cheesecake, broccoli cheese soup, asparagus with Parmesan cheese, smoked mozzarella fonduta, fettuccine alfredo, penne with goat cheese, and ricotta gnocchi.

[size=large][b]Uric Acid Level[/b][/size][hr]You say, "Okay, my kidneys aren't working properly. So what can I do to cure my gout?" The answer is you can do a lot. First of all, certain foods and beverages heighten the body's uric acid level, and certain foods and beverages don't. So if you avoid the foods and beverages that heighten your uric acid level, and partake in the foods and beverages that don't, you will never get a gout attack - thus curing your gout condition! It is the normal style of writers to add additional information with the intention of lengthening the length of an article. However, we have provided a short and concise article with only required information on Uric Acid Level.

The following foods contain tofu, and can be served without meats and seafood: tofu with vegetable medley, tofu muffins, tofu and cheese omelet, sauteed tofu steak, tofu caramel custard, tofu anmitsu (traditional fruit salad), broiled tofu steak, tomato and olive tofu spread, braised cubed tofu steak with eggplant and zucchini, tofu steak with teriyaki butter sauce, tofu steak sandwich, tofu steak with salsa sauce, tofu steak nuggets, tofu steak fajita, tofu steak with Asian mushroom sauce, tofu and egg burger, tofu and vegetable burger, tofu burger, tofu quesadilla, oriental tofu salad, split pea soup with tofu, creamy oriental tofu dressing, tofu broccoli lasagna, grilled tofu and cheese, tofu spaghetti sauce, Spanish rice with tofu, tofu and vegetable stir-fry, zesty Italian pasta and tofu, spicy tofu chili, spicy tofu burritos, Tex-Mex tofu lasagna, pita stuffed tofu salad, tofu custard filled cake, pineapple tofu pie, and tofu custard with sesame flavor.

[list][*]People prone to gout tend to have high uric acid levels in their blood.[*]The high uric acid levels may be caused by the kidneys' failure to adequately remove uric acid from the blood. Wink[/list]

[size=large][b]High-Protein Foods[/b][/size][hr]Avoiding meats and seafood puts you in a dilemma. You avoid these foods to avoid gout attacks, but your body cannot function properly without protein - meats and seafood are common sources of protein! What do you do? We were rather indecisive on where to stop in our writings of Uric Acid Levels. We just went on writing and writing to give a long article.

[size=4][b]Excess Uric Acid - Gout - a Form of Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]Gout is a form of rheumatic disease caused by uric acid deposits in the joints and it is marked by sudden attacks of painful, inflamed joints. It is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. It is the commonest inflammatory arthritis of men above 40 years old, and it is 20 times commoner in men than women; however, the number of postmenopausal women who have gout is increasing. Smile

[list][*]Gout is a complex disorder that can affect anyone.[*]It is one of the oldest and probably most painful diseases known to mankind, which the symptoms develop at a quick pace.[*]Fortunately, gout is treatable, and there are ways to keep gout from recurring.[/list]

Gout is caused when a patient continuously has trouble digesting properly and waste matter from digested foods accumulates within the body, the excess uric acid then starts to crystallize and settle in the joints (especially on the feet), setting off inflammation, pain, and stiffness. Usually, the joints in the big toe are affected, but gout can also affect the instep, ankles, heels, knees, wrists, fingers and elbows. The more readers we get to this writing on Gout Gouty Arthritis, the more encouragement we get to produce similar, alternative medicine and gout to read. So read on and pass it to your friends.

[i]The connection between drinking alcoholic beverages and attacks of gout is a strong one for many with the disease; experts recognize that the standard goal in the treatment of chronic gout is the reduction and maintenance of sUA levels of less than 6 mg/dL. [/i]

Quote:People with high uric acid can develop lumps under the skin and they are often found in or near joints previously attacked by gout and also on the elbow, over the fingers and toes, and in the outer edge of the ear, additionally, its increasing degenerative changes may make aging joints vulnerable, with cartilage fragments acting as seeds for crystal formation. Experts say the concentration in the blood is so high that the uric acid settles in the joints of people with gout, a leading cause of gout attacks. Reading is a habit that has to be cultivated from a small age. Only if one has the habit of reading can one acquire more knowledge on things like Gout Gouty Arthritis.

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]

The overall conclusion is that Arthritis is a seriously unbearable condition that 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 gout 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> Smile

Arthritis: What it Is[/b]</br> Basically, Arthritis is inflammation of the joints. There are currently over 100 forms of Arthritis and remarkably, that number continues to rise. The most common forms of Arthritis include: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Gout (see our next article, "Symptoms of Arthritis" for more information). Osteoarthritis is the result of degenerative joint disease, or simply "wear and tear" on the joints. Rheumatoid Arthritis is the result of an over active Immune System that results in inflammation. Gout is the oldest form of Arthritis and is the result of too much Uric Acid. The Uric Acid deposits crystals in the joints, leading to "Gouty Arthritis". The joint pain, inherent to all Arthritis sufferers, is referred to as "Arthralgia". Not only are the joints susceptible to attack, but the surrounding muscles, tissues, and organs are vulnerable to the effects of Arthritis as well. In fact, Arthritis has been known to attack the heart, kidneys, lungs, and liver. </br> We are proud to say we have dominance in the say of Gout. This is because we have read vastly and extensively on Gout.

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> The development of Gout has been explained in detail in this article on Gout. Read it to find something interesting and surprising!
