Foods that may Help Preventing a Gout Onset

* Low-Fat Dairy:
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Mar 11, 2004 revealed that high intake of low-fat dairy products indeed reduces the risk of gout by 50%. It is unknown why low-fat dairy products offer a protective effect.
* Tart Cherries:
Dietitian Leslie Bonci revealed that tart cherries can lower uric acid levels. The anthocyanins found in tart cherries are anti-inflammatory, which is good news to people with gout. So include some dried or frozen tart cherries in your diet.

Unfortunately, no natural supplements are proven effective to prevent or alleviate onset of acute gout attacks. The most effective treatment for gout attack is medication.
