वह अक्सर बातचीत के दौरान दूसरों से संवाद दोहराने के लिए कहता है।

Higher Uric Acid Level and remedies

Higher Uric Acid Level and remedies

-Dr. Lalit Kumar Setia*
Due to hectic schedule of business and service, most of the people become ignorant for maintaining their health. Modern diseases like Diabetes, Obesity, Heart Diseases, Stomach Disorders are directly or indirectly related to modern life-styles. 

Why Uric Acid increased?

The dependence over fast-food (sold in street) or half-baked & processed food at home; invites various diseases in life. One of the most fearful symptom among people is Uric Acid Level in body. The high level of uric acid is known as hyperuricemia when the level becomes more than 7 mg/dL in men or 6 mg/dL in women. It is must to understand the causes of higher Uric Acid Level. The human body stays healthy only when balanced diet followed by balance physical work is adopted in life. The food or diet should be taken in the amount which can be digested easily or if the food is taken in excess quantity then exercises should be done at proper time to make is digested.

How digestive system can be a basic cause? 

The food contains crystalline compounds which are broken into purines at the time of digestion. The digestive system produces waste products which passed through the kidneys and eliminated through urine. In case, the diet is containing higher amount of purine, excessive uric acid is produced in waste products and the kidneys become unable to eliminate higher quantity of uric acid which leads to either originating new diseases or worsen the existing diseases in body. Now, it is clear that a person affected with higher uric acids should take food having minimum quantity of purines and at the same time, he/she should also adopt remedies to improve the functioning of kidneys or supporting kidneys to easily eliminate waste products. If it is done, then the uric acids come in the desired level and diseases start to be disappeared. 
The persons affected with higher Uric Acid Level should stay away from alcohol, smoking, and fast food normally sold in streets. However it is must to have proper diagnosis and treatment by a healthcare professional and he/she should try to improve the metabolism system by adopting home remedies and medicines:

     1.    Drinking plenty of water: 

   The filtering of Uric Acid requires more water or in other words, it is must to drink more water so that the uric acid be diluted and the kidneys are stimulated enough to eliminate excess amount of Uric Acid through urine. Normally, doctors recommend 8 to 10 glasses of water to a patient suffering from higher Uric Acid Levels.

    2.    Taking Vitamin-C and Lemon in diet: 

    The Vitamin-C helps to neutralize the level of Uric Acid. One glass lemon juice in lukewarm water in the morning on an empty stomach, can helps a lot in lowering the Uric Acid Level. The Vitamin C supplements can also be taken as per the recommendations of a healthcare professional.

    3.    Consumption of Baking Soda: 

    The baking soda lowers Uric Acid Level by helping the kidneys to easily flush out the waste products. Normally, it is recommended to take one-half teaspoon in one glass of water in a day however it should not be adopted as a regularly because it also leads to high blood pressure.

    4.    Apple cider vinegar: 

    The acetic acid found in Apple cider vinegar is helpful in breaking the uric acid crystals and it improves the blood circulation and purification which also leads to reduction in inflammation and swelling in the joints. 

    5.    Drinking vegetable juices and eating fruits: 

    In order to reduce the level of Uric Acid, the carrot juice or cucumber juice can be taken. The fruit juices can also be taken but the fruit juices are sweet in nature and will increase the sugar level in body. However it can be preferred to take fruits rich in fiber and vitamin C like kiwi, guava, oranges, amla, lemon, tomatoes, bananas, pine-apple etc. Overall the vegetable juices and fruits help in maintenance of hydration in body. 

     6.    Reduce in-take volume of sugar: 

     More the quantity of sugar goes inside, more the burden increased on kidney to process it. If Uric Acid Level is higher, it is must to reduce the in-take volume of sugar.  

    7.    Coconut Water and Green Tea: 

    Now-a-days, the green tea is preferred instead of black or white tea because it helps in eliminating the toxics of body. The coconut water increases the fluid intake and helps in hydration.

Treatments through Medication:

8.     Allopathic Drugs to treat Higher Uric Acid Level: 

   There are three drugs usually recommended i.e. Allopurinol Oral, Zyloprim Oral, and Probenecid Oral. Each drug has its own benefits, side-effects, dosage details etc. It is explained in an article [1] that the Allopurinol or Zyloprim is recommended (300 mg in a day) when the Uric Acid Level is increased due to dying cancer cells. This medicine is taken after a meal in order to avoid stomach upset. It is appropriate to drink full glass water after each dose. The side-effects of this drug are explained [2]. The Probenecid lowers high levels of uric acid in your body by helping the kidneys to get rid of uric acid. It may be prescribed in combination with certain antibiotics (such as penicillins). It increases the levels of antibiotic in the blood, which helps the antibiotic work better. More details of this medicine are also available online [3].

     9.    Ayurvedic Solution: 

     A herbal remedy known as Navkarshik Churna [4] is a combination of herbs to treat higher Uric Acid Level. The ayurveda tells us to reduce Vaat in order to balance it in the body. The Neem leaves, Giloy, and Triphala Churna are also effective to control the higher Uric Acid Level.

    10. Homeopathic Treatment: 

   The homeopathic treatment is totally based on the symptoms available in the body of patient and the seasonal influences on body. However, there are three medicines usually recommended i.e. Colchicum (in case of joint pains, swelling, and muscular weakness), Ledum  Pal (in case the pain goes from downwards to upwards and worsen with pressure), and Guaiacium (in chronic cases when patients have heat intolerance). 

    11. Yoga to maintain Uric Acid Level: 

    The yoga improves the whole metabolism system of the body. It helps in keeping someone healthy, there are a lot of exercise poses which help in controlling the higher Uric Acid Level like: Ardha Matsyendrasana (The Spinal Twist Pose), Bhujangasana (The Cobra Pose), Dhanurasana (The Bow Pose), Halasana (The Plow Pose), Hastashirasana (The Hand to Head Pose), Januhastasana (The Hand to Knee Pose), Makarasana (The Crocodile Pose), Pavan mukhtasana (The Wind Relieving Pose), Pranayama (Breathing technique), Tadasana (The Mountain Pose), Trikonasana (The Triangle Pose), Uttana Padasana (The Extended leg Pose), Veerasana (The Hero Pose), and Vriskshasana (The Tree Pose).
