Does Gout Only Affect the Rich?
No… it does not distinguish between rich and poor. It can affect anyone who frequently consumes certain foods or has a genetic predisposition. Gout is not linked to wealth but to lifestyle and diet. Stress, insufficient water intake, and some medications may increase the risk.
Symptoms: Sudden severe joint pain (often the big toe) – redness, swelling and heat – pain that worsens at night – may be accompanied by a slight fever – attacks recur if untreated.
Causes: Elevated uric acid – excessive red meat, organ meats, seafood, sardines and legumes – alcoholic and carbonated drinks – obesity and inactivity – genetic factors – high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney disease.
Prevention: Regular uric acid testing – regular physical activity – reduce red meat, organ meats and seafood – avoid alcohol, carbonated drinks and sweetened juices – balanced low-purine diet – healthy weight – adequate water intake. Early treatment and a healthy lifestyle prevent recurrent attacks and protect joints and kidneys.
