Want to reduce uric acid, drink these drinks

Consuming too much protein-rich food is likely to increase uric acid in the body. Purines are derived from proteins. And this purine is broken down. This is why it is recommended to avoid high-protein foods like lentils and mutton if uric acid levels are high. An increase in uric acid can lead to joint pain and even kidney stones. However, in the early stages, excess uric acid accumulates in the ankles, toes, fingers, and joints. And this is where the problem of gout starts. Uric acid does not rise suddenly. Uric acid problems occur due to long-term debauchery and eating unhealthy food. Eating excessive amounts of alcohol, meat, foods with excess salt, and sugary foods can increase uric acid levels. Completely avoid outside food, alcohol, and cold drinks to get relief from gout pain an...

Eat rice this way sugar will not increase

Rice is high in carbohydrates. So earlier in the day, diabetic patients used to eat bread instead of rice. But modern medicine does not support that rule. Nutritionists say that rice and bread have almost the same amount of carbohydrates. Even if there is a change in the nutritional quality of Muri, Chidre, Chhatu, Suji, Dalia, or millets, there is not much change in the level of carbohydrates. But the glycemic index of rice is high. Keeping that in mind, nutritionists say to eat a cup or a small bowl of rice with other foods, i.e., pulses, vegetables, curry, or fish and meat. But for foodies, the sorrow of eating rice is infinite. A bowl of rice will be finished in the blink of an eye. But other padas cannot be eaten without rice. So what to do? There is a fear of rising blood suga...
