Belive it or not - eat or drink some cherries.
Yep turns out cherries are a natural way to reduce the uric acid build-up that causes gout.

I beleive the tart or sour cherries work best.
If you don't liek thenm you can also take a supplement of them but the real fruit or juice is what works best.
Many people swear by them.

Cheers, Good luck and good health.

Stay away from seafood and alcohol. Drink plenty of water to keep your joint tissue hydrated and cartilidge lubricated.
