Publisher's Synopsis
Have you or someone you prepare meals for been diagnosed with gout? What will that do to your eating habits? At one time, people with gout would have been placed on a severely restricted diet. Today, however, the proper diet for gout is not as restrictive. The smoothie recipes in this book have all been recommended as gout-friendly. Although attacks from gout can be debilitating and painful, it is possible for many people to reduce those symptoms by adhering to gout-specific diets. This helpful guide will allow you to develop a healthy, effective gout menu that allows you to create food plans to ease your symptoms. Gout is broadly defined as having a higher than normal uric acid amount in the bloodstream. This causes the uric acid to form crystals in joints, causing swelling and pain. The recipes in this cookbook contain low purine levels, while offering proper nutrients so you can remain healthy. A gout smoothie alone will not cure or treat this medical condition, but you will likely find a significant amount of relief if you eat gout-friendly smoothies.
