What To Eat For Gout
It's always been interesting to me to observe how much people want to know about what to eat or not eat for gout. It's sort of sad shame that we are so disconnected from where our food comes from.
Can you imagine if you were living 200 years ago today? What would you be eating? The crazy thing is that pretty much every day would be consumed with finding food, growing or raising food, and storing it and protecting it. That was food. There was no running down to the store or going out to eat. It was find or grow your own food, or starve.
My guess is, there was a lot less gout back then. Then again maybe not because they were all so afraid of the water, they drank lots of alcohol. Which was not so good either.
But how much food did your great, great grand mother eat? That is another problem contributing to gout today - there is just TONS of cheap, crappy food EVERYWHERE. We are a world of fat people! One of the Big Ideas in my nutritional training was that, "never before in the history of mankind, have we had an emergency need to lower blood sugar."
What do we do about it? Grow our own food! Check out this post, there's some good stuff for you to pick up on.
