Six‑Week Diet Lowers Uric Acid, Cuts Weight and Blood Pressure in Gout Patients

A six‑week nutrition plan has shown noticeable benefits for men suffering from gout. Understanding these results can help anyone looking for practical ways to lower uric acid, lose weight, and improve blood pressure.

The study examined 90 men with gout, dividing them into a control group and an intervention group. Neither group changed or increased their prescribed medication during the 42‑day trial.

After six weeks, the intervention group’s blood uric acid fell by an average of 112.4 µmol/L, according to the study. The share of participants reaching their target uric acid rose from 11.1 % to 71.1 %, about twice the proportion seen in the control group.

Participants on the targeted diet also lost an average of 1.63 kg of body weight and 2.39 kg of body fat, while waist circumference decreased by 2.61 cm. Their average systolic blood pressure dropped from 134.6 mmHg to 131 mmHg. The diet emphasized replacing red meat with low‑purine protein such as eggs and milk, keeping adequate carbohydrates, increasing vegetable intake to roughly 500 g per day, and avoiding alcohol and sugary drinks.

These findings suggest that a focused six‑week dietary change can quickly lower uric acid, support weight loss, and reduce blood pressure in people with gout. The results highlight how specific food choices, rather than strict restriction, can improve key health markers.
