Suggest Diet With Low Uric Acid And Cholesterol Levels?
Hi. My annual Physical Exam results just showed that I have elevated cholesterol as well as uric acid in my blood. It seems to me that some of the foods I have been eating which are supposed to lower cholesterol levels also have the effect of raising uric acid levels (like tuna and sardines). I'm wondering if there are foods which I can eat which can lower both levels? Thanks in advance.

Hello thanx for using hcm,
Uric acid levels goes up with high purine or protein diet or alcohol consumption.
Reduce consumption of protein sources like meats, chicken , fish, eggs, pulses, beans .Reduce intake of alcohol.
Consume plenty of water as it hepls in clearing uric acid from blood.
For cholesterol you should consume low fat diet. Avoid sources of saturated and trans fats like butter, ghee, cream, red meats, full fat dairy products, fried foods, bakery products , processed foods.
