Gout is a form of arthritis and it affects many people. Uncontrolled chronic systemic inflammation and uric acid buildup are the two major disorders that lead to joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. These disorders arise mainly due to a lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits characterized by meat and processed foods high intake.
Also, inflammatory response and PH status are highly interrelated body systems. Therefore, a vicious cycle exists between persistent systemic inflammation and unbalanced body PH. This strong connection between inflammation and body PH also means that foods with anti-inflammatory properties lead to balanced body PH, an effect that neutralizes the problematic uric acid that causes joint pain and swelling.
A diet filled with a wide array of whole plant foods can keep inflammation well-managed which results in balanced body PH.
There are also several plant foods known to be extremely helpful for balancing body PH and they include cherry juice, cacao, and spirulina. Apple cider vinegar is also ideal for keeping body PH well balanced.
