7 Juices To Remove Uric Acid From Body And Relieve Gout Pain

The high level of uric acid in the body is caused when the kidneys can't effectively remove it through urine. This happens because of two conditions, either when we consume foods more in uric acid content or when there is some problem in kidney function.

However, high uric acid level mostly occurs when we eat foods rich in proteins or uric acid. The excess uric acid is removed by the kidneys, but some of it still remains in the body.

This uric acid in the blood gets accumulated in the body's joints, mostly in finger joints such as toes, ankle, knee, wrist, elbow. This condition is known as gout.

In this condition, there is much pain, redness and inflammation of the area, where the uric acid gets accumulated.
