Morning “vice” lowers GOUT risk 40%
If you suffer from gout, you’re already dealing with PAIN on a different level.
And I’m not just talking pain in your big toe!
You see, gout does SO MUCH MORE.
It can also attack your ankles…knees… and even your wrists…
Which means even the simplest of tasks that involve any kind of joint movement aren’t so simple anymore!
But today I’ve got good news… news that can lower your risk of a nasty gout flareup by nearly 40%.
And get this. It’s staring you right in the face EVERY MORNING…
You won’t believe how easy this is!
Before I give you the solution to better gout control, it’s important to note that not only is gout common… cases are also RISING.
Cases of gout INCREASED across the world at an alarming rate from 1990 to 2017.
There were approximately 41.2 MILLION cases of gout in 2017, with the rate of new diagnosed cases being 92 per 100,000 people. That’s a 5.5% INCREASE from 1990.
The culprit? Uric acid.
Elevated levels of this joint-destroyer are often the main trigger of your gout flare-ups.
But, according to a study from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, drinking upwards of four cups of COFFEE per day can decrease your risk of gout by as much as 40%!
Now, downing four cups of joe is a lot. (I don’t even drink that many cups each day.)
But the study found that even 1-3 cups per day ALSO helped lower your risk!
See, coffee is chock-full of phenol chlorogenic acid – an antioxidant that has been found to help your body naturally eliminate uric acid build up. (The less uric acid you have, the less chance you have of getting gout.)
And get this…
Even if you’re not a huge Java head, researchers found drinking decaf coffee also reduces gout risk – by as much as 33%!
So, fire up your coffee pot and enjoy your daily ‘pick-me-up’ – and reap some gout-fighting benefits to boot.
