Adopting an alkaline diet, which is rich in raw fruits and vegetables, can effectively decrease uric acid levels. This change may reduce the frequency of gout and other joint problems, as well as lower the risk of kidney stone formation—a common issue associated with high uric acid.
The juice suggested will not only help to alkalize your body and remove acids due to the diuretic effects of cucumber and celery, but it also requires your commitment to a less acidic diet. Eliminating acid is beneficial; however, if you continue to consume acidic foods, your condition will remain unchanged.
