Is There Any Gout Food To Avoid?
When we look for gout food to avoid, we tend to look for low purine foods. There is some merit in this, but unless you only eat shellfish, gravy, liver, kidney, and the like, it is much more important to look at pH balance. Do it right, and not only will it help your gout, but you will become generally healthier.
I describe how alkalizing your body can help gout by making uric acid more soluble in the Prevention Section. Taking baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) works for many gout sufferers. Unfortunately, it can raise blood pressure. As about 40% of gout sufferers also have hypertension, an alternative is useful.
This is where increasing your pH level through food comes in. There is a lot of information about alkalizing diets and acid-alkaline balance. Much of this is confusing and sometimes contradictory.
Potential Renal Acid Load Calculation
Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) is a calculated value of certain nutrients in food that have the most significant indication of changing acidity or alkalinity of the body.
PRAL is a precise calculation from 5 nutrient values in food, but it is not an exact measure. It is a shortcut measure to assess the affect of foods on the pH of the body.
Potential renal acid load experiments show that PRAL is a reliable approximation of the pH effect of foods. It is calculated from:
PRAL =
0.49 Protein + 0.037 Phosphorus
- 0.021 Potassium - 0.026 Magnesium - 0.013 Calcium
