Guide To Safe, Gout-Friendly Snacks

Yogurt And Fruit

Some reports have indicated yogurt may prevent gout from occurring. Great news! Of course, like with cheese, the yogurt should be low in fat. Look for labels on the yogurt. Instead of grabbing one that says 2 percent on it, reach for 1 or 0 percent! Plain yogurt is the best, since it doesn’t contain high amounts of sugar, which can interfere with gout. Instead, make a snack of low-fat, plain yogurt and berries! The berries add a natural and healthy sweetness to the yogurt. They are also good sources of vitamin C, which has been shown to reduce gout attacks. Aside from berries, other fruits to include are bananas, oranges, and pineapples! Cherries are amazing too!

Cottage Cheese And Whole-Grain Toast

Cottage cheese is yet another opportunity to keep the bones strong without eating too much fat. Cottage cheese is fairly low in fat as a dairy product. There are even different levels of fat content available with cottage cheese, much like with yogurt! Cottage cheese is also a good source of protein.

Sometimes people eat plain cottage cheese as a snack, but what’s even better is adding whole-grain toast to it. This adds the power of complex carbs in reducing the levels of uric acid from the body. Chow down ladies! This not enough? Many like to add slices of fruit to their cottage cheese and toast.
