Fatty Foods
Consumption of foods rich in fat makes you add weight and carrying extra weight slows down the removal of uric acid through the kidneys. So, the more you weigh, the higher your risk of getting gouty arthritis and the more likely you are to have recurrent attacks. The body of obese people produces more insulin and a high level of insulin circulated throughout the body inhibit uric acid elimination by the kidneys. Insulin resistance plays a significant role in the increased risk of gout linked to bad fat. So cut down on your intake of fatty foods and try to shed some excess weight through a constant exercise to be on a safer side. [8]
