\"UricThe organic compound<\/strong> that is constituted with oxygen<\/strong>, nitrogen<\/strong>, hydrogen<\/strong> Y carbon<\/strong> receives the name of uric acid<\/strong>. In the case of human being<\/strong>, uric acid is produced when nitrogen is metabolized<\/strong>, as a waste of this process. This acid, therefore, can be found in the urine.<\/p>\n

The species that expel uric acid as waste are called uricotelic<\/strong>. There are animals<\/strong> that excrete it with the feces: for this reason, guano (excrement of bats and other animals) can be used as fertilizer, since it contains a high level of nitrogen in its uric acid.<\/p>\n

In the case of people<\/strong>, there is a uric acid concentration in the blood that is considered normal. The generally accepted limit is 7.2<\/strong> milligrams per deciliter for men and 6<\/strong> milligrams per deciliter in women. According to the type of diet, these levels may vary.<\/p>\n

When the concentration is saturated, the nephrolithiasis<\/strong>: the formation of stones in the kidneys by the crystallization of uric acid. In some cases, an increase in the amount of uric acid in the blood is linked to gout<\/strong>, the disease<\/strong> caused by crystals of a uric acid derivative that accumulate in different areas of the body.<\/p>\n

At a general level, it can be said that the increase in uric acid in the bloodstream causes an increased risk of contracting different conditions, whether linked to the joints, the kidneys or other parts of the body. Body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although there are medications developed specifically to regulate the level of uric acid in our body, the best advice to avoid all the disorders associated with this organic compound is eat a balanced diet<\/strong>. Let's see some of the most suitable foods to reduce or control uric acid level.<\/p>\n

The artichokes<\/strong> They are a favorite for reducing uric acid, and this is because it is a natural diuretic. Consuming this vegetable regularly helps us eliminate toxins<\/strong> and, therefore, to avoid fluid retention in the body.<\/p>\n

Nor should we forget that artichokes offer us vitamins, antioxidants and minerals<\/strong>, in addition to being rich in proteins, fatty acids and fibers. Simply boil them to obtain a broth<\/strong>, that we can drink, and soften them enough to enjoy them with oil and vinegar.<\/p>\n

\"UricAnother of the most effective foods to regulate uric acid level is onion<\/strong>. It is known that since ancient times it has been used to cure various diseases<\/strong>, and the fact that it is among the most common and inexpensive products makes it even more convenient.<\/p>\n

The onion offers tangible results against excess uric acid in the blood, and also helps to reduce the triglycerides<\/strong>. In addition to the endless dishes in which we can include it, such as a simple salad, there is a highly recommended drink, which is prepared by boiling two medium-sized onions open in half and then mixing the broth with the juice of half a lemon.<\/p>\n

On the other hand we have the pumpkin<\/strong>, a vegetable with diuretic properties ideal for eliminating excess uric acid through the urine. In fact, it serves to clean the organism<\/strong> in general. Like the onion, the pumpkin is very versatile, since it can be consumed in many different ways; so much so, that it is possible to crush its seeds, previously dehydrated, and use them as a complement to salads or hot dishes, such as pasta or pizza.<\/p>\n

In this list you can not miss the carrot<\/strong>, another of the most common vegetables and more beneficial<\/strong>. Thanks to their alkalizing action, they help us to eliminate the crystals that accumulate in the joints. Needless to mention the variety of ways in which it can be consumed, among which salads (for which we can cut it into slices or grate it) and juice stand out.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
