Sick and tired of the side effects of prescription medication for gout? Here is a natural gout pain relief option that is available to anyone.

A study carried out by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), an arm of the United States Department Of Agriculture has made an amazing discovery.

They found that there are some natural compounds in cherries that reduce inflammation and pain caused by arthritis.

As Gout is a form of arthritis bought about by an excess of uric acid, this study points to a natural way to relieve the debilitating pain of gout symptoms.

The study even goes on to suggest that eating cherries can also reduce the severity of other inflammation causing diseases such as cancer and heart diseases.

ARS is one of the first institutions to scientifically research the effects of cherries in a controlled environment, in this study Bing cherries were used. And this study was interesting as it did not try and analyze extracts from the fruit in a test tube. ARS actually used test subjects - Real people who ate the cherries - and checked the levels of important inflammatory disease or markers in blood samples.

Each person, as part of the test, was fed an exact serving of fresh cherries for breakfast. No other fruits, teas, vegetables, or red wine was allowed prior to and during the study as these foods are also high in anti oxidants, and may have interfered with the results of the study.

To measure the effects of the cherries, they took measurements of the amount of plasma urate, which is basically the level of uric acid in the blood. They also measured the amount of uric acid passed through the kidneys in the test subjects urine.

The results of the test where astonishing. The test subjects? urate levels decreased significantly after the meal of cherries, and levels of uric acid in the urine increased over the first 5 hours after the "bowl of cherries" was eaten.

So, this shows that eating cherries may have a significant effect in the battle against gout symptoms.

Further studies are being conducted into the effects of cherries on other diseases, but the results are promising.

This is great news for anyone suffering from gout and who wants to choose a natural solution to relieve the symptoms of their condition. It reduces the possibility of side effects (unless you are allergic to cherries) and means that not only is the "treatment" good for relieving gout symptoms, but also great for boosting the levels of anti oxidants.

So, now you can get the benefit of gout pain relief and an improved immune system, all packed away in fresh and tasty ripe cherries.

Incidences of young and well-to-do people falling prey to gout are growing. This is particularly due to the typical sedentary and also stressful lifestyle of the younger generation. Those males mostly susceptible to gout fall in the age group of 30-50 years of age. One should take immediate care of gout symptoms. When gout turns chronic, this dysfunction can even deform and cripple the patient?s joints!

Gout is rather painful what with the excruciating pain appearing suddenly at one or two joints simultaneously. Gout is said to occur when the body produces uric acid much more than it is required. Such a buffer stock of excess uric acid causes inflammation of the body joints. When the pain strikes, the skin above those affected portions turns glossy and red. More often than not, gout attacks the ankles and the feet as well.

Many a time, gout pain originates during the night and after a meal that was rather rich in fatty substances. People suffering from gout should always avoid red meat and many other vegetable items that grow under the ground. Gout pain remains silent for about a weak after the initial strike. However, when it returns it returns with a vengeance! Several joints get affected in the subsequent gout strikes. What is more, the attacks can be more severe and quite frequent too.

Mentionably, young women in the pre-menopausal stage tend to have lower levels of uric acid which, however, rises after they cross the age barrier of 50.

Formal gout treatment is costly and time consuming. But one can also opt for natural treatments to cure gout. Here?s what you need to do to go for the latter strategy: First and foremost, gout can be brought under control by following a strict daily regimen. Your main concern is to cleanse your body of the hitherto accumulated toxins. Remember these waste products have started gathering inside your body over your lifetime. Hence it will surely take quite a lot of time to totally remove these toxins. But be patient and don?t take unnecessary tension!

So, to take your body on the natural path of recovery, start with some regular exercises. Regularly check your weight and balance your weight with your diet. If your height and weight are at loggerheads with your age, then immediately do something about it. Consult your physician.

Remember that overweight people have more chances of contracting gout than the average people. Too much of body weight can put undue pressure on the joints besides significantly cutting down on the uric acid levels. Opt for the slow but sure processes that either rise or lower your weight on a permanent basis. The quick processes like fasting for example provide only temporary results.

Always say ?No? to foods that contain high protein as such meals may be rather delicious but can suddenly increase the uric acid level. It is always ideal to consume only six ounces of poultry, fish and lean meat. Above all, avoid alcoholic drinks like beer as they block the uric acid excretion process; and this surely leads to gout.

Most people have heard of gout, but I suspect many don't know what it really is. Simply put, gout is a disease caused by excessive levels of uric acid in the blood-stream (hyperuricemia). Not everyone who has high levels of this acid their blood develops gout disease, but it does seem most do. Specifically, gout occurs when uric-acid crystals form around body joints like knees, fingers, elbows and especially big toes - in fact, for the vast majority of gout sufferers, the first sign of the disease is big toe pain! After salt-like crystals form, inflammation, tenderness, and even a reddish rash may occur around affected joints.

The disease has been noted and documented since the time of Hippocrates. Traditionally, it's been associated with exuberant living - eating and drinking well. And there is some indirect evidence to support this. For example, a long-term study noted that heavy consumers of meat and sea food were much more likely to develop gout. Additionally, significant alcohol consumption, especially in the form of beer, is also known to increase the risk of gout development.

Below are simple home remedies that may help to relieve pain and other symptoms linked to this sometimes debilitating disease. It's unlikely they will all work for or apply to you, so it may be worth experimenting with different remedies to find the ones that personally help alleviate your symptoms.

* An old study supported by a recent one and significant amount of anecdotal stories suggest drinking cherry juice may help alleviate pain caused by uric-acid crystal formation.

* Soaking the affected joint or joints in warm water, or having a warm bath, may also help.

* Drinking plenty of water may help eliminate uric acid from the body.

* Cutting back on alcohol and meat (especially red) consumption should reduce the level of digestive purines from which uric acid is formed.

* If you're overweight, slowly losing weight may also help.

* A recent study suggested taking vitamin C supplements may reduce the risk of gout attacks, so this is worth considering too.

These are just some simple remedies that may help curb gout attacks. Visit my website: www.gout-diet-tips.com for many more ideas.
