For managing gout symptoms naturally, lifestyle changes are crucial. This includes staying hydrated to help flush out uric acid, limiting alcohol and purine-rich foods like red meat and seafood, and maintaining a healthy weight. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like cherries, berries, and leafy greens can help reduce inflammation and pain. Regular exercise helps improve circulation and overall health. In my father's case, adopting these changes alongside prescribed medication has significantly reduced gout flare-ups and improved his quality of life. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
