I Love Red Meat Is That Causing My Gout?

My question is .. I love red meat , particulary game meats like venison, someone was telling me today that this could be causing me to develop gout. I don’t know if I have gout yet, but I do sometimes get swelling in my feet and particularly my big toe gets hot and hurts.

Your diet is definitely not helping you, even if you don’t have gout yet (and it does sound like you may have gout) eating red meat, game meat or just about anything else in excess is bad for you.

Eating red meat in excess means you run the risk of high blood pressure as well as gout. If you work at making your diet more gout friendly then you will also find that it is more heart friendly as well so you really can help yourself a lot just by cutting down on your red meat consumption and your alcohol intake.

As well as cutting down on meat you should be adding foods that are low in purines and even start drinking cherry juice as that will help remove the uric acid that is already in your system.
