Uric acid decreases due to increased solubility in urine

High uric acid will be reduced by consuming coffee because coffee is also thought to compete with the enzymes that break down purines in the body.

Coffee is thought to reduce the risk of gout by reducing uric acid levels through several mechanisms. Coffee may reduce uric acid levels by increasing the rate at which the body excretes uric acid.

In addition, coffee also increases the solubility of uric acid in urine. The polyphenols in coffee also help increase cell permeability. This helps balance the body's excretory function. In the long run, it will reduce uric acid levels.

How to reduce uric acid by drinking coffee

People with high uric acid and gout can drink coffee properly to help control the disease but it is not a substitute for medicine.

Coffee helps reduce uric acid levels in the blood, reduce disease symptoms, and increase treatment effectiveness. Pure coffee is one of the recommended drinks for gout patients, but you should only consume about 200 - 300mg of coffee per day, starting with a small dose and gradually increasing.

Pure coffee should be diluted with about 100-200 ml of filtered water to make it easier to drink, control the amount of caffeine, and at the same time replenish water for the body. Because drinking enough water is also an effective method to support the treatment of gout, helping to eliminate uric acid through the urine.

People with high uric acid and gout should consider drinking coffee with milk made from beans. Because some types of nut milk such as soy, green bean, peanut... have an average purine content, ranging from 50-150 mg/100g of food. If the amount of purine taken into the body is too high, it will cause excess uric acid, making the kidneys unable to filter and eliminate this excess from the body.
