Gout is particularly common in men. It starts with a buildup of uric acid in the blood. This leads to deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints that causes intense pain and swelling. Did you know that coffee lowers gout risk? A US/Canada study shows that the more coffee you drink a day increases your chance of lowering gout risk.

Drinking coffee can reduce the risk of gout by lowering uric acid levels in the body. Coffee increases the rate that the body excretes urine and has a component that helps break down purines in the body, thus lowering the body’s rate to produce uric acid. Men who drank 1 to 3 cups of coffee a day lowered gout risk by 8%, while men who drank 4 to 5 cups a day lowered their risk by 40%. Men who drank 6 cups or more lowered their gout risk by 60%.

Isn’t that good news for coffee addicts?

If you already have gout, studies also suggest that drinking coffee may help reduce the occurrence of a flare-up. Ultimately, since everyone’s body’s react differently, it is always recommended to still seek the advice of a professional.
