The absolute easiest way to flush out uric acid is to drink more water. Your kidneys are responsible for filtering out waste, and staying super hydrated helps them dilute uric acid and flush it out through your urine before it can crystallize in your joints. Aim for at least 8 to 12 glasses a day.
2. Sip on Lemon Water
Though lemons are acidic outside the body, once metabolized, they actually have an alkalizing effect. Lemon juice stimulates the release of calcium carbonate, which helps neutralize uric acid in the bloodstream. Squeeze the juice of half a fresh lemon into warm water every morning on an empty stomach.
3. Load Up on Cherries (or Tart Cherry juice)
Cherries are famous in the gout community for a reason. They contain high levels of anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that possess strong anti-inflammatory properties. Studies suggest that consuming cherries or drinking tart cherry juice can significantly lower serum uric acid levels and prevent painful flare-ups.
