Gout / Arthritis and Nuts
H.K. Choi, a rheumatologist in Boston wrote in a study published in the March 2010 issue of "Current Opinion in Rheumatology" that nuts, along with beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and dairy products are healthy foods for gout sufferers. A diet that includes these foods could even help prevent the recurrence of gout.
Nuts and Uric Acid Levels
Eating a diet rich in nuts will not raise your uric acid levels, according to a study published in the "British Journal of Nutrition" in June 2007. Researchers divided 64 participants with metabolic syndrome into three controlled diet groups -- one with 20 percent of calories from walnuts, one with 20 percent of calories from cashews and one with no nuts. The participants followed the diets for eight weeks. Blood uric acid levels remained steady throughout the study, meaning that even a diet composed of one-fifth nuts won't increase uric acid.
Best Nuts and Seeds for Gout and Arthritis
Most nuts and seeds provide a healthy source of fats, both polyunsaturated and monosaturated. These fat sources can help lower cholesterol and reduce heart disease risks that many Gout and Arthritis sufferers are prone to such dangers. Some nuts and seeds are also high in ALA (alpha linoleic acid), which is a type of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acid.
Other nutrients found in nuts have been shown to assist with controlling inflammation such as Vitamin E, magnesium, and l-arginine.
Raw and unsalted nuts will be your healthiest source. However, adding a bit of Himalayan salt to replace cravings for salty chips would serve one well.
