Walnuts

Walnuts

Walnuts are a particularly good option for people with gout, and several organizations especially recommend this variety of nut. About 10 to 15 nuts per day may be sufficient to gain the benefits of nuts without inducing excessive uric acid.

These nuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which your body uses for a number of different functions. Additionally, the vitamin E in nuts helps keep the arteries cleared, making them good for heart disease, the risk of which increases with gout. Eating an orange or cherries after a large nut consumption may help move uric acid through the body as well.
