10. Oats
Oats are deemed healthy in general, but they are also known to contain uric acid. However, the exact range of uric acid oats contain is still up for discussion to this date. But one thing is for sure, oats as well as foods containing oats, deliver moderate amounts of the uric acid. Still, people are encouraged to eat oats because of their high fiber content. They help lower cholesterol levels and reduce heart diseases.
Word of Advice
High uric acid levels can lead to arthritis and gout, which is both painful and uncomfortable. The best way to treat it is to prevent it from being triggered by the food you eat. Take stock of the foods high in purine listed above and try to avoid them as much as possible. A few bites here and there won’t hurt, but consuming platefuls at a time will surely cause problems.
