Gout - this is a disease of the whole body caused by a violation of protein metabolism in the body. The joints are most often affected by gout. Therefore, treatment of this disease requires both local measures (treatment of individual joints) and correction of metabolism.
One of the most important components of metabolism correction is diet. It is aimed at limiting the consumption of foods that contribute to the production of uric acid in the body.
As a rule, it is prescribed:
