Uric acid is produced when ‘purines’, which are found in the body’s cells and some of the foods we eat, break down. Although it is usually excreted through urine, when the amount increases, it accumulates in the joints and causes major health problems. The main causes are:<\/p>\n
Improper diet: Excessive consumption of red meat, organ meats (liver, kidney), and some types of sea fish, which are high in purines, increases uric acid.<\/p>\n

Sweet drinks and fructose: Fructose, which is contained in artificially sweetened sodas and packet juices, accelerates the production of uric acid in the body.<\/p>\n
Kidney dysfunction: The kidneys filter and excrete excess uric acid in the blood. When the kidneys function slows down, uric acid accumulates in the body.<\/p>\n
Obesity and lifestyle: Purine metabolism is likely to be impaired in overweight people. Additionally, excessive alcohol consumption, especially beer, interferes with the excretion of uric acid.<\/p>\n

Genetic causes and medications: Some people have a hereditary tendency to have high uric acid levels. This can also be caused by the use of certain medications to lower blood pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
