Natural Ways to lower Uric Acid
Vitamin C may be helpful. See also gout for suggestions on how to lower uric acid levels.
Reduce your intake of sugared drinks. A higher intake of added sugars or sugar-sweetened drinks leads to higher blood levels of uric acid. Guidelines to a healthy diet are provided. Maintain ideal body weight, and consume diets enriched in fruit and vegetables, limit- meat and alcohol. Eliminate junk foods such as simple carbohydrates and fructose. Eliminate intake of sugar-sweetened soft drinks

General guidelines are -
•Restrict meat/fish/poultry intake
•Avoid alcohol and processed foods
•Lose weight if overweight
•Exercise regularly
•Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day
•Eat plenty of fruits & vegetables
Restrict foods high in purines -
•Organ meats such as liver, kidney, heart
•Selected fish and shellfish
•Meat & yeast extracts brewers and bakers yeast
•Meat soups & stock cubes
Recommended foods to eat -
•Fresh cherries, strawberries, blueberries and other red-blue berries
•Bananas
•Celery
•Tomatoes
•Vegetables including cabbage and parsley
•Foods high in bromelain (pineapple)
•Foods high in vitamin C (red cabbage, red bell peppers, tangerines, mandarins, oranges, potatoes)
•Low-fat dairy products
Since purines are found in so many foods, it's important to understand that not all purine-source foods affect the body in the same way. For instance, although purines are found in vegetable sources, these purines don't cause the same amount of uric acid buildup in the body that meat sources do. In fact, fresh fruits and vegetables reduce acid levels in the body and it is often advised to avoid red meats, organ meats and highly processed foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables are encouraged so the patient can increase alkalinity in the blood. Therefore, rather than attempting to find foods that are free of purines and uric acid, its important to know how to increase the body's alkalinity, which naturally reduces the body's acidity. Fresh, non-processed foods, such as fruits and vegetables, are the way to go.

Being overweight appears to be the most common determining factor for excess uric acid production. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a healthy weight. Consider the calorific value of the foods that do not contain purines and aim to eat a healthy well-balanced diet. Fatty foods such as butter and cream should be avoided. When you begin to lose weight, the kidneys are more able to eliminate uric acid and in some cases, the production of uric acid by the liver is also reduced.
