[size=4][b]Purine Foods - the Acidic Foods to Avoid With Gout Diets[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Most people when choosing a gout friendly diet will look to cut out or reduce foods high in purine, as metabolizing purine in the body leads to increased levels of uric acid, which is the cause behind gout symptoms. However, high purine foods may not be the only foods to avoid with gout.

Some Nuts Soybean Soda Cocoa Yeast Hops Table Salt Sugar Fried Food Like anything, it is not a good idea to drastically change your diet overnight. The best way for your body to process the changes is to introduce amendments slowly that your body can get used to the different foods and keep its processing running on maximum. We did not write too elaborate an article on Purine Rich Foods as it would be then difficult for the common man to read it. We have written this article in such a way that everyone will be able to read and understand it!

[size=large][b]You Should be Aiming to Reduce Your Body's Ph Level Slowly[/b][/size][hr]You can monitor these changes by purchasing a home urine or saliva testing kit. Try to balance your diet to include 70% of foods alkaline in nature and 30% acidic. We find great potential in Uric Acid Level. This is the reason we have used this opportunity to let you learn the potential that lies in Uric Acid Level.
[size=medium][b]7 Juices To Remove Uric Acid From Body And Relieve Gout Pain[/b][/size]


Quote:The high level of uric acid in the body is caused when the kidneys can't effectively remove it through urine. This happens because of two conditions, either when ...

[i]Acidic foods that impact the pH of your body are: Beef Lobster Pheasant Ice Cream Processed Cheese Barley Processed Flour Wink[/i]

[size=large][b]Acidity is Measured Using a Ph Value Ranging Between 0[/b][/size][hr]14, with 0-6 being acidic, 7 is neutral and 8-14 is alkaline. Where gout is concerned it is less about the pH value of the food, rather what that food does to the pH level of the body during and after digestion.

[size=large][b]Uric Acid is Formed During the Processing and Breaking Down of Purines in the Body[/b][/size][hr]This is a natural substance that is produced during cellular building and is also found in a lot of the foods we eat. Purine-rich foods include: Reading all this about Gout is sure to help you get a better understanding of Gout. So make full use of the information we have provided here.

[size=large][b]Some Researchers Have Established a Link Between Body Acidity and Gout[/b][/size][hr]The more acidic your body is, the higher the possibility of developing gout. Conversely, having a more alkaline system encourages rapid uric acid elimination. Thinking of what to do upon reading this article on Uric Acid Levels? Well you can very well use the information constructively by imparting it to others.

The higher the pH levels of the body (an alkaline state) the easier it is for uric acid to be dissolved in the blood stream and eliminated via the kidneys. The lower the pH i.e. the more acidic the body pH the harder it is to process uric acid.

Red meats Shellfish Legumes Offal Mushrooms Yeast extracts Processed meats To tackle raised uric levels in the blood it is wise to restrict your intake of these foods until your gout is under control and uric acid levels have stabilized. Self-praise is no praise. So we don't want to praise ourselves on the effort put in writing on Uric Acid Levels. instead, we would like to hear your praise after reading it! Wink

Therefore, a constantly low pH value can cause your body to decrease it's processing of uric acid, leading to hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia is a medical term for a raised uric acid level in the blood, and can lead to gout. As the levels of uric acid become higher there is nowhere for any more uric acid to go, so it is deposited in crystal form in the spaces and connective tissues between the joints. Responsibility is what makes a person. So we felt it our responsibility to elaborate more on Purine Rich Foods so that not only us, but everyone knew more about it!

[size=large][b]As the Body Becomes More Acidic, Uric Acid Elimination Slows Down Dramatically[/b][/size][hr]This is due to the pressure the body comes under trying to process both the uric acid and the acidic foods. The kidneys become strained and are less effective in expelling excess uric acid. Some of the matter found here that is pertaining to Uric Acid seems to be quite obvious. You may be surprised how come you never knew about it before!

Gout is a health problem resulting because of the deposit of uric acid crystals in the joints and surrounding tissues. It is characterized by an excess of uric acid in the body that deposits in different parts of the body leading to recurring attacks of joint inflammation. We know two types of gout: acute and chronic. The most severe phase of gout is chronic gout that beside joint inflammation and pain may also lead to kidney malfunction and kidney stones.

[size=large][b]The Most Common Affection is the Big Toe Joint Problem[/b][/size][hr]It is seen in about 50 % of the cases of gout. Other joints can be affected too. The ankles, the knees, wrists, fingers and elbows are at risk. After a rapid onset of the pain in the affected joint it usually follows warmth, swelling and high sensitivity for the joint. These painful attacks may last hours to days and may be recurrent. We cannot be blamed if you find any other article resembling the matter we have written here about Gout Diet. What we have done here is our copyright material!

[size=large][b]Throughout History It is Believed that Gout is the Most Frequent Illness[/b][/size][hr]It is also believed that gout is a problem that can be inherited. It consists of the deposit of uric acid in the joints or surrounding tissues. Abnormal elimination of uric acid can cause attacks of painful arthritis (gout attack), kidney stones or even kidney failure. Even so there are known a few cases where patients only develop elevated blood uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) without developing arthritis or kidney problems. It was our decision to write so much on Gout Symptoms after finding out that there is still so much to learn on Gout Symptoms.

[list][*]Gout attack means a rapid onset of joint inflammation and pain that usually occur over night.[*]A high number of persons develop gout.[*]Only in America not less than one million people are suffering from recurrent gout attacks.[*]It is well to know that men are more prone to develop gout than women.[*]It is believed that gout is nine times more common in men than in women.[*]Men are prone to develop gout right after puberty while women are at risk only at menopause. Smile[/list]

[size=large][b]Specialists are Able to Advice Humans How to Prevent Gouty Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]Obesity in youth, high alcohol intake and unhealthy diets may lead to gout attacks. Also aspirin and diuretics could be a cause for developing gout attacks. Of course injury of the joints could lead to a gout attack. Gout attacks are also related to some diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma and hemoglobin disorders. It may take some time to comprehend the matter on Normal Blood Uric Acid Levels that we have listed here. However, it is only through it's complete comprehension would you get the right picture of Normal Blood Uric Acid Levels.

Is believed that a relation between gout and hyperuricemia exists but it is unclear. We are certain that many patients with hyperuricemia do not develop gout. We are also certain about the fact that some patients with repeated gout attack have normal or low blood uric acid levels. About 10 percent of the male population has hyperuricemia and a small percentage of them will actually develop gout. We are proud to say we have dominance in the say of Kidney Stones. This is because we have read vastly and extensively on Kidney Stones.

[list][*]Gout is an extremely painful disease and can cause immense discomfort apart from complications like kidney stones and the like.[*]Unfortunately, there is no established cure for gout.[*]The best means of thwarting gout attacks is prevention.[*]These insidious attacks occur when you will be least expecting it, sometimes while you are asleep.[/list]

[size=large][b]Gout Attacks Typically Set in Between Midnight and 2 a.M[/b][/size][hr]And are more frequent during the spring. The initial attacks may wane automatically within a few days even without treatment, as the crystals become encrusted by certain proteins that prevent their recognition by the immune system as non-self particles. However, gout may resurface even after years, and in due course of time the frequency of the attacks gradually increases. Ultimately, the problem becomes a persistent one and in chronic cases, can cause permanent distortion of the affected joints.

[size=large][b]Purine is a Normal Constituent of the Human Diet[/b][/size][hr]It is metabolized within the body to produce uric acid, which then reacts with the sodium ions present in the system to give mono-sodium urate (MSU). The production of MSU rises with the internal pH of the body. At the biological pH, the MSU exists in the form of insoluble crystals that deposit on the joints of the body. The bodys defense mechanism recognizes these accumulated crystals as foreign invasions and combats them with white blood cells called neutrophils. As a result of this immunologic reaction, sudden inflammation and rubor of the skin develops, along with heat production and tenderness of the affected regions. This is accompanied by excruciating pain as the bodys defense mechanism fights the invading MSU crystals. The symptoms include malaise, fever, chills, increased heart rate, and high blood pressure.

The most commonly afflicted areas of gout include the big toes and the joints in feet, ankles, knees, hands, wrists, arms, elbows, and bursas, the ligaments and tendons around these joints; and, in extreme cases, shoulders, necks, hips and spine. The first impression is the best impression. We have written this article on Gout in such a way that the first impression you get will definitely make you want to read more about it!

[size=large][b]Turf Toe Gets No Respect[/b][/size][hr]Let's take a closer look at the causes of turf toe and see how to treat it more effectively. Turf toe is actually a form of hallux limitus. Hallux limitus is classically described as pain and progressive decrease in the range of motion of the first metatarsal phalangeal joint (MPJ). The onset of hallux limitus is due to the following:

Think of turf toe (hallux limitus) as an isolated case of osteoarthritis limited to the first MPJ. Whether the injury is acute or due to repetitive loading, the result is a load that is applied to the subchondral bone that is greater than what the bone can tolerate. As the injury progresses, a series of micro fractures will develop in the subchondral bone. The typical soft spongy character of the metaphyseal bone changes to become brittle and hard. The result is that the articular cartilage looses its' underlying support and becomes susceptible to damage. Juxtachondral eburnation, osteophytes, lipping, spurring; call them what you like, but what you see on your x-ray is the slow progressive destruction of the joint.

Unger, K., Rahimi, F., Bareither, D., Muehleman, C. The Relationship Between Articular Cartilage Degeneration and Bone Changes of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint. J. Foot Surg. 39:1 24-33, 2000

When treating turf toe be sure to recognize the fact that there is no nerve innervation in articular cartilage. Pain associated with stage one turf toe (hallux limitus) is either synovial pain or bone pain. If we recognize that painful stage one turf toe (hallux limitus) may be due to bone pain, we then realize that turf toe should be treated aggressively to insure the long term viability of the joint. The value of this composition is achieved if after reading it, your knowledge on Diseases Gout is greatly influenced. This is how we find out that the meaning of Diseases Gout has really entered you!

<hr> Symptoms: Turf toe that is the result of functional hallux limitus is going to be insidious in onset. Functional hallux limitus will usually be seen in younger athletes as they attempt to increase their activity. It may not occur during the first athletic season, or the second, but when it does begin to cause pain, the onset will be more frequent and more severe, varying with activity. This profile of onset is simply due to the fact that the athlete is recreating the injury with every step. Turf toe caused by a direct injury to the joint may or may not be obvious. Athletes may not remember an incident of pain since they're often distracted by the event or game in which they're involved. The onset of direct injury to the joint may be abrupt, but also may be insidious becoming increasingly more painful as the season progresses. The joint pain will subside with rest only to recur with increased activity. It's not unusual to see symptoms of turf toe resolve in the off season only to recur with renewed exercise.

[size=large][b]Functional Hallux Limitus[/b][/size][hr]Biomechanical function that results in metatarsus primus elevatus and subsequent repetitive jamming of the first MPJ. Direct physical injury - injury to the articular cartilage or subchondral bone. These injuries may be due impaction injuries or hyperextension/flexion of the first MPJ. The initial stages of this article on Diseases Gout proved to be difficult. However, with hard work and perseverance, we have succeeded in providing an interesting and informative article for you to read.

Foot Surg. 40:3, 137-143, 2001 You may be inquisitive as to where we got the matter for writing this article on Gout Joint. Of course through our general knowledge, and the Internet!

[list][*]<hr> Differential Diagnosis: The differential diagnosis of turf toe includes;[*]Arthitis Fracture Gout Joint infection Joint or bone tumor Synovitis 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.[/list]

Treatment of turf toe varies with the type of healthcare provider and includes the use of rest, shoe modifications, orthotics, steroid injections and surgery. The success of non-surgical care will vary with the degree of injury, the rate at which the injury is healing and how much osteoarthritis has occurred. We see varying degrees of success with orthotics that promote plantarflexion of the first ray, effectively treating metatarsus primus elevatus and peroneus longus dysfunction. Simple arch supports can make a significant difference in the symptoms of turf toe. Should our patient not respond to conservative care in a reasonable time period, we are not reluctant to suggest surgical revision to address the problem whether it be revisions of the joint defect, shortening of a long first metatarsal or structural revision of metatarsus primus elevatus. As mentioned before, the clinical appearance of dorsal lipping or visible radiographic changes are suggestive of moderately advanced osteoarthritis, a condition that is only repaired by joint revision or replacement. 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.

The onset of turf toe always the same? Turf toe that is the result of functional hallux limitus is going to be insidious in onset. Functional hallux limitus will usually be seen in younger athletes as they attempt to increase their activity. It may not occur during the first athletic season, or the second, but when it does begin to cause pain, the onset will be more frequent and more severe, varying with activity. This profile of onset is simply due to the fact that the athlete is recreating the injury with every step.

[i]Other conditions - synovitis, crystal deposition diseases such as gout, systemic arthritis, external physical influences such as Dupytren's contracture, etc. [/i]

[size=large][b]Turf Toe Caused by a Direct Injury to the Joint May or May Not be Obvious[/b][/size][hr]Athletes may not remember an incident of pain since they're often distracted by the event or game in which they're involved. The onset of direct injury to the joint may be abrupt, but also may be insidious becoming increasingly more painful as the season progresses. The joint pain will subside with rest only to recur with increased activity. It's not unusual to see symptoms of turf toe resolve in the off season only to recur with renewed exercise. We have omitted irrelevant information from this composition on Gout Joint as we though that unnecessary information may make the reader bored of reading the composition. Smile

<hr> Anatomy: The great toe joint, or first metatarsal joint consists of two bones. The proximal bone is the first metatarsal and the distal is called the proximal phalanx or hallux. These two bone move against each other in an up and down motion through what we refer to as the sagital plane. Biomechanics: The motion of the great toe joint is dependant upon the plantarflexion of the first metatasal. If the first metatarsal is limitied in its' ability to plantarflex, the joint will jam resulting in funtional hallux limitus, which as we know is one of the causes of turf toe. 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 Gout Joint.

Nomenclature: First MPJ - the big toe joint Metatarsus primus elevatus - a functional or structural position of the first metatarsal First metatarsal - the foot bone making up the proximal portion of the big toe joint Hallux - the great toe We take pride in saying that this article on Diseases Gout is like a jewel of our articles. This article has been accepted by the general public as a most informative article on Diseases Gout. Smile

But before we go any further, we need to understand that the terms turf toe and hallux limitus aren't really synonymous. The fundamental difference between the two terms is the patient population that they affect. Turf toe is a term used in athletic circles referring to any injury of the great toe joint. Consequently, discussions about turf toe will focus on the first two causes of hallux limitus mentioned above; functional hallux limitus and direct physical injury. On the other hand, when we discuss hallux limitus, we're actually referring to a broader, 'non-athletic' patient population and need to include all three causes of hallux limitus. Having been given the assignment of writing an interesting presentation on Diseases Gout, this is what we came up with. Just hope you find it interesting too!
