Hydration
for Gout
Drinking 2–3 litres of water daily to promote uric acid excretion through the kidneys.
How it works
Adequate hydration increases urine volume and frequency, enhancing kidney clearance of uric acid and reducing the concentration at which crystals form in joints.
What to watch for
Avoid alcohol particularly beer and spirits which significantly raise uric acid levels. Avoid sugary drinks including fruit juice which can also raise uric acid.
