Although it isn’t often considered as a fatal condition except when it leads to kidney failure, it usually results in kidney stones and gout. Here are some natural remedies that can help you reduce and control uric acid levels.

When you heat vegetable oils, they turn into rancid fats. Now these rancid fats are known to destroy the vital vitamin E in the body, which is essential for reducing and controlling uric acid levels. So, instead of opting for your regular vegetable oil, go for olive oil as it contains monounsaturated fats that remain stable when heated. In addition, it is high in vitamin E and antioxidants, and has anti-inflammatory benefits.Image Source : Shutterstock
